Supporting Small Business from Durham to Niagara (and the 6ix in between)… Since 2010

A rare night off in the big apple, so we took the Q local out to Brighton Beach (Brooklyn) chasing an Uzbek feast… and accidentally walked straight into a city losing its mind over the Knicks.

Underneath the tracks sits the Tashkent Supermarket. Now this is our kinda place 🇺🇿

Happy birthday to one of our faves, Amanda Brown … who taught us that ordering pesto cream at a red-sauce joint is a veteran move and never to be underestimated! @SugoToronto

homemade pineapple Dole Whip from Chilled Delights⁠ Ce Cream Truck. These guys rolled into our day-job work party tippin’ on four fours.

Soft-serve, sundaes, waffle cones, milkshakes… even @kawartha_dairy scoops.

If you’ve got a summer event coming up… book ‘em Danno! 🍍 🍦

Szechuan Noodle Bowl in ‘Sauga cooks the most satisfying Mālà (麻辣) flavours in the GTA... at prices that feel almost stuck in another decade. The kind of place locals hand down like contraband once they’re sure you can be trusted with the address

Today we celebrate local legend @BigDStizzy on this, his final day of an epic thirty-year run at our day job.

We sent him off in true Handsome D fashion: restaurant takeover at il Ponte, six-olive gin martinis, cake disguised as a bucket of Malpeques, and a room full of friends

A single tender from Dave’s Hot Chicken is one of the better snacks out there!

Crunchy, juicy, spicy… a trifecta that doesn’t make you immediately regret your life choices 🐓

Patty Time on Lawrence East is the stuff of legend… flaky & crunchy; full of all that molten gravy; just enough pepper comes standard 🇯🇲

#fridaypizzanightwiththegirls meets #weekendsinwinecountry… and we head straight into double coverage on the cup ’n char at Rollin’ Pizza in St. Kitts. 🍕

Dog days in May call for soft-serve therapy.

Biscoff perfection at Nani’s Gelato…cold, creamy relief when the weather starts acting like July 🍦

Long-weekend road trip. Let’s go, Bisons! The food scene at AAA games is typically pretty epic (and affordable). Beef on Weck no exception! Right behind the dish @ plus twenty five! What a day with my girls:)

Steak dinner with the powder dawgs. Life is good!

TGIF! There’s something so awesome about finding an unreal little Portuguese spot hidden behind our Riverside office in a shipping container.

Welcome to the ‘hood, Elvira’s!

Just a lovely couple making a  ridiculously good steak sandwich.

Show these guys some love. 🇵🇹

My toxic trait is thinking that 1 more beef patty will fix my life

Grand-opening vibes at Minyue Restaurant on Silver Star. A kitchen straight outta Fuzhou, leaning hard into that sweet-salty-shacha thing Southern Fujian cuisine does so well.

Crispy fried pork ribs, drunken in glossy sauce, scallions everywhere, taro soaking up the gravy!

[Toronto Food Blog @TorontoFoodBlog]

We celebrated our baby-mama drama with a Mother’s Day feed at Valley Restaurant in Port Weller… her favourite pasta place in the whole world.

Hand-made fettuccine, the freshest bruschetta, and espresso martinis for our favourite MILF :) 🍝🍸#weekendsinwinecountry

Charcoal-fired tri-tip perfection. Flattened chicken with All the fixins!

Fire, smoke, patience, and folks with complete command & control of backyard cooking.

This is the kind of meal that makes you want to linger outside until the sun disappears. Thanks, Lisa & Chris!

There’s something deeply satisfying about a no-frills storefront with a hand-painted sign promising & delivering on pupusas

At Pupuseria Salvadoreña, the pupusas arrive blistered off the griddle, built for that perfect cheese-pull moment.

#lunchunder10bucks @ Finch & Weston 🇸🇻

Wonton + turnip soup at Sha Xian Delicacies in Agincourt… the kind of bowl that looks light, but eats deep

Chewy wontons (proper Fujian-style bianrou)… thin skins, springy pork filling that’s been worked to death (in a good way). Crunchy chunks of daikon cutting through it all

Our eldest is officially a teenager.

We marked the moment w/ hibachi flames, flying shrimp, and way too much laughter at Benihana… all while they were, for reasons unknown, blasting Live at Fillmore East on loud!.

Then back home for a full-on Lego build session.

Peak 13.
