LAUNCH | Mighty Angus Burger for Mighty Mcdonald's Canada

Fast food is called fast food for a reason, it's in and out for those who are on the go or have no time. Don't let that fool you though, there is nothing fast about the time it takes for a new item to make it onto Mcdonald's Canada permanent menu as we learned when we attended the Mighty Angus Open Kitchen Flavour Session.

I had absolutely no idea how long it took for an idea or menu item to make it to the Mcdonald's Canada menu from start to finish prior to ending the Open Kitchen Session. Depending on what the item is, it can take months or even up to a year for a product like a burger to make its debut!

The Mighty Angus is a perfect example of that as it's the first new premium burger to hit the permanent menu since 2012.

What makes the Mighty Angus different from their other classic burgers? Personally I think one of the most distinctive features of the burger is the smoky Angus aioli adopted from the European market. It adds a touch of flavour that you don't get in their existing burgers.

To break it down, the Mighty Angus burger comes in a sesame and poppy seed bun with a third pound 100% Angus beef patty that's entirely sourced from Canadian farms. It also comes with hickory smoked bacon pieces and then your usual burger toppings like crisp lettuce, tomato, cheese and grilled onions and that smoky Angus aioli to finish it all off.

It was extremely informative to go behind the scenes to see how the burger is made and the care it takes to create that perfect burger.

The burger is about $6.40 which is pretty reasonable considering it's made with 100% Angus beef and can be part of an extra value meal with those Mcdonald's World Famous Fries that we all know and love.

The Mighty Angus is available now so check it out the next time you're grabbing a burger!

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.

REVIEW | Cafeteria

[Guest Writer: Jonathan L.] For my first food blogging experience, I head over to a pre-opening at Cafeteria by Playa Cabana with Monica from the Food Sisterhood. The newest addition to the Mas Playas group is located on College and Dovercourt, an area with many up-and-coming restaurants. We are seated at a table with fellow bloggers, Laney & Nick from Best of Toronto , Jess from Where Jess Ate , and Jess' fiance, Mike. While he refuses to contribute to her blog, he has at least put a sufficiently sizeable ring on her finger to warrant a few perks (ha ha). Cafeteria boasts a lively ambiance. Despite not being officially launched, the restaurant is bustling with walk-ins, undoubtedly attracted by the rustic charm of Cafeteria's decor. The highlights are vintage wood and tile finishes throughout, and a set of floor to ceiling wrought-iron gates in the style of traditional Mexican courtyard architecture. Before the meal begins, I warm my pa...
