Last Friday, I posted a(n on-going) list of restaurants in the city that I would like to try (or return to for a different meal). The first restaurant knocked from the list was Combine Eatery, located on Danforth Avenue, just east of Broadview. The restaurant is, according to sources, “southwest” – as in Southwestern United […]
People who follow me/DelectablyChic! on Instagram and Twitter know that I eat out a lot. I have my regular spots (especially for brunch) and also try new places. And in Toronto, there are plenty of places to try. I can’t even keep up! So I’ve decided to come up with a list. Some of the […]
Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Montreal-based chef and Chopped Canada judge, Chuck Hughes (also of Chuck’s Day Off). He was in Toronto to speak at an event at the Art Gallery of Ontario about Mexican travel (which he says he goes yearly) and Mexican food (for The Taste of Mexico). With […]
Normally, I think of cities as characters; London is a well-established gentleman and Paris is a pretty girl with surprising sophistication. Sydney, I can’t quite define. On one hand is a formal, conservative city. Common hearsay is that Melbourne is the cultural capital and Sydney the capital of business. On the other hand, Sydney is […]
I’ve seen it with guys I know. It’s in a recent Quaker Oats ad. It’s also in the poster for the upcoming movie, That Awkward Moment. What am I talking about? It’s the way guys hold spoons. They hold them with their entire hand. Why? It looks so…odd. It isn’t really how one SHOULD be […]
And I don’t mean vegan cheese. Yes, people, one of the mandatory ingredients for the third show of Chopped Canada was a childhood favourite, processed cheese slices. It’s so gross to see! So rubbery! Blech. But the chefs had to use it in the first round. Judged once again by Roger Mooking (along with Lynn […]
I tuned into Food Network Canada last night at 10 PM Eastern, expecting to see Chopped Canada. Instead, I got Restaurant Takeover, which, according to Twitter, aired earlier in the week. Boy, were people on Twitter upset! #choppedcanada was filled with Tweets joking that Shaw (the company that runs Food Network Canada) had chopped Chopped […]
“We don’t come here to be seen, we come here to disappear” is the motto of the Crane, the low-key resort set above the legendary pink-sands of Barbados’ Crane Beach. Distinguishing itself from the typical all-inclusive Caribbean resorts, which often appeal to the more extroverted traveler, the Crane offers a secluded and serene environment. Sure, […]
As in previous years, the show will open with a VIP evening on Thursday, November 14, and will have public admissions, starting on Friday, November 15 at 2 PM. As usual, the expo will feature wines, spirits, beers and more from around the world, as well as delicious foods from various restaurants and other food-related […]
Sweet potatoes in my opinion are a bit boring, but they are terrific sources of Vitamin B6, a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin D and they contain that wonderful beta carotene(that keeps our eyes healthy and assists with keeping our immune system top notch). So, because I don’t find the taste of sweet potatoes […]
