Inspired by our love of food, cooking, and of course, eating. We visit culinary establishments and check out the local grub. Restaurants, diners, dives, carts, delis, trucks, mom and pop shops, hole in the walls, and unique joints are all game. We also love to get down and dirty in the kitchen. We promise to share our experiences and our own tasty creations. And we absolutely, absolutely love to photograph the food we are eating.

dolce - danforth

 


Who:     dolce - danforth
What:    gelato
Where: 414 danforth ave
When:   July 2012
Why:     gelato makes us happy
Web:     dolcegelato.net/






rather peckish out for gelato? hell yeah!  we are crazy about gelato, hence us being regulars at the College Street location.  Since we never discriminate, we frequent the Danforth location quite often as well.  While we do increase our gelato intake during the summer months, it is definitely a dietary staple during the fall to celebrate the harvest, the winter to beat the blues, and of course during the spring to welcome the bloom. Gelato seems to, well, just make everything better.  So, whether it is pistachio (one of our all-time faves) or mojito (yes, you read that right), or amarena cherry, we are always ready for a heaping scoop of some of that cold, creamy, deliciousness.

We are always looking to expand our frozen treat experiences.  Let us know your favorite spots for gelato and of course your flavour(s) of choice.

the gridTO burger day






Who:     gridTO burger day 
What:    celebration of burgers
Where:  wychwood barns 
When:   june 3, 2012
Why:     we love burgers
Web:     www.thegridto.com/





Burgers, burgers, and more burgers.  In June, we indulged in burgers, all part of The GridTO Burger week. Unfortunately we didn't have enough room to eat every burger.  We did, however, sample burgers from bestellen, keriwa cafe, utopia cafe, e11even, burger bar and hadley's.  It was, for all intents and purposes, burger heaven.  It was so good, that we found it imperative to include the word 'burger' in every sentence!

issmi japanese restaurant





 Who:     issmi japanese restaurant
 What:    authentic japanese
 Where:  1984 avenue road  
 When:   July 2012
 Why:     a yen for sushi
 Web:      www.issmisushi.com






We love sushi.  We love it because it is delicious.  We love it because it stunning.  We love it because it is super fun to eat.  And of course, we love sushi because it photographs so very beautifully. Just look at the picture of the tuna sushi.  It is exquisite (if we say so ourselves).  Last Thursday we had a yen for sushi.  To our delight, Issmi satisfied our craving and served up extremely fresh and delicious tempura, sushi, and maki. And with a side of spicy mayo, there was the added bonus of a little kick with every bite. Amazing food and friendly service made for a great dinner and some excellent photo ops.
