Places I’ve eaten, things I’ve tasted.

Pork Carnitas Tacos At The Black Hoof

Since January 2011, every time I go to The Black Hoof (928 Dundas Street West), I order the current iteration of their pork tacos. It began as pig’s head tacos (see below) and has evolved to the dish we see… Continue Reading →

Ed's Real (Canadian) Scoop

A scoop of Maple Bacon Crème Brûlée on a sugar cone. The chunks of bacon (from Rowe Farms) are nice and chewy, not frozen or tiny. The bacon made for a nice hit of salt against the creamy sweetness of… Continue Reading →
