I had THE BEST time at Vin Room yesterday. It was sooooo good, in fact, that I just had to upgrade my review from a 5 start to, well.. a 5 star. Have you read any reviews that wished they could give a biz 0 stars? The same feeling works in the…More »

Om nom nom nom nom! P is for pizza, it's good enough for me. Like Cookie Monster's love of cookies, I am fast developing an even deeper love of all things pizza (and must remind myself that pizza is a "sometimes food").

Might I say, this pizza spot is…More »

Coco Brooks... the way I figure personal-sized pizzas are meant to be. There's no full-size here, but there are a myriad of terrific toppings to be had on. My favourite? The Mile High. It's one club that's easy to be a part of.

As an order out option,…More »

  Update - 3/31/2011

Since it opened, folks have been telling me to have my lunch over at the bar at Home Tasting Room. Yesterday I decided to take them up on their suggestion. As lovely an experience as it is at one of the tables, sitting at the countertop by the open…More »

4.0 star rating
  4/5/2011

1886 is among a string of house-turned-restaurant spots that I've been visiting recently. Hidden a bit behind the Barley Mill, it's a cute little spot to hit up for some breaky-and it's open at 6 am for you early birds.

The menus are laminated paper,…More »

Bakeries like Wilde Grainz are making me wonder how I ever shopped at grocery store bakeries. I was in today to get a mini lemon strawberry cake with my Passport to Inglewood and came out with the cake, a loaf of sourdough bread (did you know each…More »

For some reason I've got yam chips stuck in my head and its rotating to the song of Lamb Chops... you remember the little puppet, right? Well, replace that with "Yam chips.. play along." At any rate, I was at lunch with the Queen of SuperFriends(TM)…More »

I had heard about Zexyberry on Twitter, they teased me with their notion of chocolate fondue. Only problem was, they weren't open yet. Then, on Monday night, there was Zexyberry again on Twitter! And now, open to the public. "Mmm, fondue for…More »

How have I never been here before? For real, I even used to live a few blocks to the west... although anything on Centre St has never been a spot I'd frequent (excuse that semi-awkward sentence). My travels these days don't often take me up in that…More »

Wow. Rush is swank! The service, the food, the decor... it's top-notch. The exterior of Rush is unassuming. The silver letters used against the white walls of the building are easy to miss if you're not looking for them. Guys, if you want to impress…More »

It's tiny, it's cute, and it's busy even on a Monday morning. Today was my first visit to Dairy Lane. I figured a Monday would be a safe day to avoid lineups and enjoy a quieter morning meal. Though it may have been quiet by Dairy Lane's weekend…More »

Do you want to know a secret? Heritage Bakery is the magical source of hand pinched perogies and a certain well known food truck. I saw it on their website, and asked in person today when I went to pick up some perogies and cabbage rolls.…More »

Holy! Can I said lottadeliciousfoodmuch? We grabbed some takeout from Sura today... it's maybe the 5th time in my life I've eaten Korean, but I'm learning my way around the menu a little bit. Every time I read Bi bim bap, I can hear Sylvie C saying…More »

There's a little place tucked away downtown, over on 10th St between 4th and 5th Ave. It's a little place you may not have been to yet and so they don't know your name... but it's the kind of place that you'll step foot into once. You'll love. And…More »
