Get your foodie on!
When a condiment is this awesome, who needs a burger? Like most people, I love a good burger. Perhaps even more than most people. Even still, the same old burger toppings get stale after a while. While “mustard, a bit of relish, onions and pickles” is my classic standby, I just have to change things [...]
While working on some automotive content yesterday, I came across a project called This must be the place by Lost & Found Films. The series of short films examines the places that make us feel at home. Little makes us feel at home like great food and a comfortable place to enjoy it. PRIME goes [...]
Whenever an automotive press trip takes me to a city I haven’t visited before, I try to fly in a few hours early to check out the local scene if I can. This week, I ended up in downtown Seattle, courtesy of Toyota Canada for the launch of the 2012 Prius C. Staying at the [...]

Nestled down a narrow side street in old Quebec City, there is little to indicate the existence of a World Class restaurant save one tiny sign above the door. Built in 1827, the stone building looks like many others in the historic walled city. Inside that door however lives the utterly fantastic Le Patriarche. The [...]
If you’re gonna cook, eventually you’re going to have to cut something. Better to have the right tools or that something is going to be you! That doesn’t mean you need to break the bank to get some smokin’ blades. Check out our first Kitchen School video after the break.
Last week we had a bit of a social media experiment involving Twitter and Facebook. The results were so overwhelming that we had to split it into two stories. We asked our FB friends the question: Surprise guests are arriving in 30 minutes. What is your go to appetizer from items already in your pantry? [...]
