Taylor "Indie Bacon Foie Gras" O.'s Profile

Carnivorous Canada

Meat purveyors in butcher and restaurant form to feed the need for the caveman inside of us. Damn the agricultural revolution!

Well regarded and reviewed across platforms from BlogTO to Yelp and word of mouth. I'd passed by on several Queen Street West ventures but not at times in which they would be open. Alas, a visit to the quality meat purveyors!

Harbour is the self-proclaimed better steak house of the area and it shows with a touch of healthy arrogance and the food to back it up.

I had veal osso bucco was super tender, slow cooked to an almost pork roast texture, with delightful bone marrow…More »

Much of what is right in the world is on the chalkboard and on your plate at Hoof Cafe.

Fresh sausage, kraut mixed with meat and topped by benedict crushing beautiful egg orbs accompanied by delightfully perfectly crisp pork belly pastrami.

3/2/2010

As a predominately Paleo-style eater, the closest I can get to eating like a caveman is this genre (one I frequent) and Copa did not disappoint my evolutionary urges and/or biological nutritional requirements.

I never would've guessed from the picture…More »

More evidence for the creation of an entire express subway line solely to reach this area. I had the beef cheek, with which, the texture almost reminded me of a good Montreal Smoked Meat. Love the non-rushed, friendly atmosphere, perfect for…More »

I've been searching for a Toronto smoked meat sandwich to get me by until my shipments from Montreal arrive and Caplansky's fit the bill. My smoked meat fresser was a great sandwich, only failing in comparison to the originals. Ordered with fried…More »

Hoof isn't the only carcass slinger on this block but this one is grocery style. I'm no hunter, having so far only killed one pigeon (of the clay variety) but I've been stalking the city block by block for my prey from Healthy Butcher to Kensington…More »
