EVENT | Twilight Tuesdays by Drake One Fifty & Momofuku featuring gourmet street food & drinks, summertime treats & music!

This summer has been quite the eventful one for the Toronto food scene and here's another one to put on your radar! In fact, it's a weekly event created by Drake One Fifty & Momofuku to provide gourmet street food, thirst quenching drinks, delightful treats by local vendors and music by Canadian artists - all in the little parkette, located behind the Drake One Fifty.

Every week, the hosts, Drake One Fifty & Momofuku will cook up something delicious for the hungry diners but on alternating weeks, their Financial District neighbours, The Gabardine and Richmond Station will join them. This week, it was The Gabardine. For fans of any of the four restaurants or even if you haven't visited any, it's a great chance to grab a quick bite or see what kind of food they offer!

This week was also the first ever of the Twilight Tuesdays series and a busy one at that! I got there just after 6PM and the lineup to buy food/drink tickets was forming fast along York St.

Tickets are $5 each and it gets you one food dish or a drink.

The Gabardine: Fried Chicken with watermelon & green tomato salad

Just look at that pork crackling!

Drake One Fifty: Roast Pork Sandwich with pickles

Drake One Fifty: Beef Skewers

Momofuku: Bossam - pork belly with rice, kimchi puree & ginger scallion sauce in a bib lettuce wrap

Great vibe at Twilight Tuesdays with local musician & vendors!

Augie's Ice Pops: Vietnamese Coffee & Grapefruit Ginger Ice Pops

Don't miss out on this great after work mini night market in the heart of Toronto's financial district! Did I mention that as a community event, all proceeds from food sales will be donated to the 'Out Of The Cold' program at St. Andrew's Church?

Every Tuesdays from 5 - 9PM. Be there, or be square.

EVENT | Our Recap on the Delicious Food Show 2014 - what we ate, drank & loved!

The 3-day Delicious Food Show, perfect for food lovers in Toronto is back for 2014. Unlike other culinary shows that happen in the city, what I like about DFS is that it's not massive and overcrowded but has a good number of exhibitors and features an impressive list of celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations and workshops - talk about interactive!

REVIEW | Light Cafe

We find Baldwin Village to be a street in Toronto that is ever growing. You'll never know what to expect in terms of businesses that will pop up! Not to mention it's diverse food culture including gelato, ramen, Italian, Filipino food and so much more. It doesn't surprise us at all that Light Cafe decided to take residence on Baldwin. I have traveled quite extensively through Asia and can say with confidence that Light Cafe looks exactly like a cafe you would find in Taiwan. Not only is it spacious inside, I love the minimalist decor inside which provides a calming atmosphere. I could see myself sitting at the cafe for hours (within reason haha) and getting some work done. The first thing that we noticed and I'm sure many of you will as well - is the living wall. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where there was a living wall but I've always wanted one of my own. With the natural sunlight coming in with the wall, it's the perfect place to f...

WORKSHOP | Sausage Making Class at The Healthy Butcher on Eglinton!

Recently named 'Best Butcher in Toronto' by Now Magazine, the Healthy Butcher just may become your go-to butcher shop for organically & locally-sourced meats as well as sustainable seafood! It's no surprise that The Healthy Butcher caters to those that 'live to eat' as they're passionate about food themselves. In fact, they're so serious, that they offer educational and fun workshops on roasting, knife skills, butchering and lots more... The hands-on workshops and classes are held on weekday evenings and range from $40 to $125 per person depending on the class. With an intimate group, you'll be sure to learn a new set of skills at these 2.5 hr classes at The Healthy Butcher in the company of other food lovers. When I first heard about their workshops, I thought it would be a perfect team-building exercise for co-workers but it would be great to take friends or family as it's a great time overall.
