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...

REVIEW | &Company Resto Bar

When it comes to night life, nothing has Toronto beat. Having said that, for those of us living in the west end, finding ways to get down there, have dinner and a few drinks and finding a way home can prove to be quite troublesome.

What better place to go out for drinks and dancing than the heart of Mississauga, You certainly won't miss its grand entrance driving down Enfield Place. If you aren't lucky enough to find parking, there are parking garages nearby that are easily accessible. Their new executive chef Ron Stratton who boasts a pretty impressive resume with over 20 years experience in the industry all over Canada has recently revamped their menu to with the concept of "fine familiar"cuisine. Simply put it means a menu which offers food that we're comfortable with like a burger and really elevating it to the that next level. Another thing that's change...

REVIEW | Home of the Brave

At last! My long overdue visit to the Home of the Brave finally happened for a late night dinner with my girlfriends.  Situated upstairs at the corner of King Street West and Portland Street, it's quite accessible by public transit but it could be hard to find parking. This restaurant first caught my eye when I spotted a photo of their Kentucky Fried Handshake Sandwich (pictured above) - really eye-catching, isn't it?  From then I had the chance to get a bite of their menu offerings at food events and vowed to visit the restaurant since.  As I've heard and read good reviews from other bloggers, I went with high expectations. The space itself is not too big but they made good arrangements to cater to diner pairs or groups of all sizes with plenty of seatings by the window, the bar, benches and booths.  As a group of four, we were seated in one of the booths for larger groups!  All the menu items we ordered were delicious and were indeed classic American comfort ...
