Last week, I had the privilege of attending a blogger dinner at Wild Burger, a new 30-seater gastro burgery owned by Suman Roy, a globally renowned chef and Gautam Banerjee. Located in the Eglinton and Mount Pleasant area, Wild Burger is very different from other gourmet burger houses in the city. Rather than a huge […]
I recently had the opportunity to have dinner at the newest Buca restaurant, Buca Osteria & Bar. Located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto’s Yorkville area, this restaurant is different from the King Street locations. Rather than focusing on meat, this restaurant is full of seafood choices (don’t worry, there are non-seafood dishes as […]
The One of a Kind Show (OOAK Show), Holiday Edition has opened and many favourites have returned (it’s their 40th anniversary this year). I am, for one, extremely glad that I ran out of Incredible Spread’Em just in time for the show, as I picked up not one, but two containers of the product (this […]
Yes, it’s for real (brand name is MerloCola) and it’s one of the many exhibitors at this year’s Gourmet Food and Wine Expo. I tried it and have to admit that it was quite…interesting. While the small sample was good, I’m not really sure if I’ll ever have a full serving. I think I’m a […]
Can you believe that the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo is just days away? This is a favourite event of DelectablyChic! and many favourites look like they’ll be back, including Hank Daddy’s BBQ (known for their pulled pork parfait – something we noted back in a 2011 post for this event), Brix chocolate (they were […]
Vancouver-based café, Caffe Artigiano has opened a spot in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, on Yonge, just south of King Street. The café offers a wide array of caffeine-based drinks as well as sandwiches, salads, soups and pastries. I had the opportunity to attend a media drop in last week and was able to […]
My husband got me into Mexican food. Before meeting him, the only “Mexican” I had were school cafeteria tacos – you know, grocery store bought taco shells that are more chip-like than a “real” tortilla. My parents never took me to any sort of Mexican when I was growing up – it was pretty much […]
This year was my second time at the Delicious Food Show where many food-related brands, ranging from restaurants to food trucks and brands big and exhibited their wares for the public. I was able to taste items from many of the exhibitors, ranging from some favourite restaurants like Tabülè (they were sampling various dips and […]
It’s not hard to admit that Toronto has a love affair with pizza, especially thin crust pizza. However, most pizza places offer the same old choices, and usually not vegan or gluten-intolerant friendly. This is NOT the case with Magic Oven, which boasts five locations across the 416. Visit the restaurant’s website and you will […]
I love cooking. I love making Thanksgiving dinner. I’d say that partly why I like doing this is because though my family did a more “traditional” meal when I was in elementary school (but with Chinese influences, such as soy sauce turkey and sticky rice and taro stuffing. Leftovers meant turkey fried rice, or more […]
