Chantecler Anew

Jen — Fri, 24 May 2013 14:12:34 +0000

Back in October, I wrote out my thoughts on Chantecler; how it was, in short, my top pick in the city. Four months later, they cut their menu down to lettuce-wraps only. Indeed, the wrap is a delicious value-driven offering that many (including myself) return for, but what about those awesome dishes that blended the cultural ...more

How’s your spring coming along? I spent my Victoria Day long weekend in Niagara. Food Truck Eats at Peller was a rather lovely afternoon with a warm sun, cool breeze, and lots of eats. I also challenged Bob Blumer to eating edamame one by one with chopsticks at the fabulous Stratusphere event – love Stratus’ ...more

Lovely weather we’re having, no? I should probably get back to writing real posts, but, ehn, it’s round-up time! So many events. Almost too many – and this is my short-list! Market 707′s Public Patio Fundraising (to June 2) Scadding court’s ever-evolving shipping-container food fest is fundraising for a new patio. Not an event, I ...more

Benchmark Teas

The guys at Reunion Island Coffee are launching a new line. Went to an afternoon tea at The Federal to sip and sample the blends on offer. Out of all the teas I tried, their peppermint tea was really lovely. The Oregon-grown peppermint really lent a lasting finish to the tea that was wholly soothing, especially ...more

Rose & Sons

Jen — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 21:30:21 +0000

Had diner with friends at Rose & Sons the other night and thought it a decent neighbourhood spot. Their sides were really good and I enjoyed many of them off the main dishes. Sadly, no fried chicken that night. But, by far, my favourite dish was the fried rice. My inner skeptic didn’t know what to ...more

Happy Pi(e) Day! It’s March 14, and I celebrated it early this past Sunday with food-fanatic friends. 14 of us. 23 pies. 7 of those savoury. Then we had a session where we compared pie dough. Mostly as an excuse to eat more pie dough. Get more details from my lovely friends Bonita (table shot at the ...more

Jen — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 20:15:52 +0000

Last Australia Day, I celebrated by having a really fun and playful meal presented in part by John Placko and Luke Hayes-Alexander. It was a great dinner, full of laughter and great food. This year, in conjunction with Tourism Australia and Wine Australia, Placko and Hayes-Alexander return to revisit and re-mix that dinner for the next ...more
