Chef Joshna Maharaj (Tedx Toronto) – A Food Hero

Posted in Authors, Speakers and Other Visionaries, Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on September 27, 2011 | 2 Comments »

I`ll never forget my Father telling me stories of his youth, especially the ones which involved horses.  My Father trained race horses (dropping out of school very young to do so) and every horse he broke won it`s first race.  He was a real cowboy – the `real` Marlboro Man (although he gave up smoking [...]

Restaurant Review – Starfish Oysterbed and Bar

Posted in Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on April 13, 2011 | 6 Comments »

As part of our Ocean Wise experience, Dana and I were treated to an amazing dinner at Starfish Oyster Bed and Grill in Toronto.  We were not required to post about the restaurant or the dinner but our experience was so exceptional that we felt we simply had to. The experience was made exceptional by [...]

Wasn’t that a Party… F’Coffee Kicks Up Its Heels

Posted in Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on March 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Our local neighborhood coffee shop (which is also fully licensed) hosted a party last night.  Rob (owner of F’Coffee and resident drummer) brought some friends in and we packed the joint.  It was a fantastic night and the music was amazing (the band took up almost 25% of the room).  If you look carefully below [...]

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Cocktail (The Avro)

Posted in Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on March 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I’m simply gushing this morning.  And while this post is dedicated to one exceptional project, the truth is that this type of thing happens almost anywhere and if you’re willing to look hard enough (or lucky to stumble into it), these stories are the ones that so many want to support.  So while I’m going [...]

An Outstanding Meal at Parts & Labour – and a Sustainable Seafood Dinner Next Week

Posted in Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on February 27, 2011 | 7 Comments »

There are very few rules about what I post here and all are self-imposed. For example: Dana and I decided from the start that we wouldn`t use this as a place to spew negativity for example and we`ve remained consistent with that one (it`s been difficult at times when we see some of the things [...]

Dinner at Nobu… My Redefinition of Sushi…

Posted in Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on February 6, 2011 | 3 Comments »

I`ve had the privilege of eating at some of the nicest restaurants in North America.  There are plenty left and I have no intention of  crossing them all off the list.  But my personal list did get 1 name shorter this week. It`s my third time in San Diego in as many years.  Each time [...]

Where everyone knows your name… a thanks for local service (wherever you may be)

Posted in Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on December 22, 2010 | 2 Comments »

It’s been a difficult week.  That’s not a complaint – I rather enjoy the tough ones as I find those are the times that I learn the most about myself and those around me.  There’s been a lot to handle and some legitimate emotional roller coasters that has seen me working at hours that I’m [...]

Anthony Bourdain Coming to Toronto

Posted in Chefs, Restaurants and Bars on August 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »

I received an excited Facebook message from friends announcing that Anthony Bourdain was coming to Toronto and that they were planning to go.  I hadn’t seen anything about it so I thought I’d share (even with the risk that I may have been the only one not knowing). I am as curious about the crowd [...]
