I haven't eaten enough bibimbap to declare Seor Ak San's the best in Toronto (and "best X in Y" is thrown around way too casually in Chinatown, amiright?), but I can make a few related declarations. Namely, that a) this is some tasty, tasty stuff, b)…More »

I'll admit it, I was a little bit nervous when I was greeted by a Brobdingnagian yet gently rotating fish acting as an inflatable glowing concierge to this Baldwin Street Japanese joint. But one step inside and my doubts were allayed. Etsu is one of…More »

We had other plans on College street when my trusty Yelp app clued me in on an intriguing and hard-to-pass-up check in offer at JangBang: free PBR in a Mason jar. Being part hipster (and a huge Mason afficionado) I insisted we chart a new course for…More »

If you've never been to BCD, look for the orange building with the lime green sign. It also helps to keep your eyes peeled for the restaurant full of happy diners, gorging themselves on hot and spicy soups. I've never been to BCD when it wasn't…More »
