Here's something for all you confirmed meat-eaters to consider: the whole hog.

What do you get a guy** who can eat so much his jaw starts hurting from chewing before he actually feels full?  If you are his girlfriend, you invite a dozen of his closest…More »

Between this place and the Stockyards it's a wonder that I don't weigh 300lbs.

The croissant are all very good - the plain and the Jocelyn (maple and raisin) are my go-to-girls. I try not to think of how much butter was sacrificed for the cause. The…More »

I've been curious about this place since it opened up a few months ago - who is Leah of the tasteful typeface and list of ingredients scrolling along the bottom of the window?

I finally made a stop and was charmed by the beautiful displays of sweets.…More »

I remember the first time I ordered from here - 6 yrs ago when we first moved into the neighbourhood.  And it was good. And it is still good.  And every time I nom I always think, why do I ever bother with Swiss Chalet? (Especially when it is sooo…More »

This is my next addition to my Best of St. Clair West list but I'm hesitant to rave about this place not because it isn't worth the four stars, but because I don't want to let the secret out.  

I don't want to tell you about the chicken sangwiches.…More »

I met an out of town a friend here on Family Day monday so it was probably more crowded than usual. Despite my aversion for crowds I found the experience pleasant and would definitely return. My breakfast bagel was well-made and tasty; a good balance…More »

Tucked away behind the Rushton and nestled next to the Fran Hill art gallery you'll find a quaint little establishment called the Village Scoop.

They offer about a dozen different gelato flavours as well as a few ice cream varieties.  There's also a…More »

First of all I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally try Savera, especially since it is literally a five minute walk from where I live.  So to make up for it I've been there twice in a two week period and hope to visit again soon.

Recently updated lists from Jing K.

I see ROTD and think of LOTR (6)

Well, I guess two points make a line, three make a triangle, four a quadrangle and also a list!

Trade Secrets (photography) (2)

But not so secret anymore.  Here are the businesses that help me better my photography business.  (Started Jan '11 - sorry just two things right now.  I've just been so secretive about my other places so stay tuned).

My Fair St. Clair West (8)

Non-food related reviews for St. Clair West between Bathurst and Dufferin.  Only the good stuff.

Fool me once, shame on me. (2)

A list to remind myself of places not to bother with again.

Boring reviews (3 stars) (5)

I realize that I don't have many 3 star reviews because they are boring to write.  I will try to be a good yelper and catch up a bit and also make a list while I am at it.  These aren't all my 3 star reviews but they were all a chore to write.

If my dogs could type... (9)

they would yelp (woof?) about these places.  Kafrey and Six are two active, fun-loving, large mutts who may look like they love everything but actually have very discriminating taste.

Would YOU share the last bite? (4)

The food at these places are so enjoyable that I wouldn't even consider sharing the last bite with my sweet little baby girl.  (Don't worry, the kid is far from deprived, it's just that the last morsel is to be enjoyed for myself).

Down-East Bound (5)

Just about every year for the past five years we've driven down to New Brunswick for a visit.  Here are some of the places we enjoy.

The Stockyards Area (5)

No, not the BBQ joint I frequent.  I'm referring to that area north of the Junction deep in the western wilds of St. Clair where the 512 ends and where there is a touch of suburban big-box sprawl.

Tim-hits and tim-misses (3)

Yes their coffee tastes like dishwater but you can't escape this Canadian institution.  Some locations are better than others.  These are the ones I know.
