A couple of day’s before I was due to fly to San Jose, California for the launch of Nissan’s new Z-car we were watching Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network. On this episode, he visited a place called the Falafel Drive-In, which has been pumping out the middle eastern chick pea [...]

Mongolian Grill vs Mongolian Grill

September 22, 2006

There seems to be some confusion in the Toronto area regarding the Mongolian Grill. Google Mongolian Grill in Toronto and that confusion seems warranted.

April 3, 2006

I really should mention, after last week’s submission on smoke-free pubs in Canmore, that the Drake and the Rose were two of six, count ‘em six establishments to voluntarily adopt a non-smoking policy this weekend. The Sherwood House (reopening in May), the Canmore Hotel, the Last Call and The Legion are all on the [...]

Restaurant review : The Real jerk

March 1, 2006

As close as I can remember, it’s been at least 13 years since I’ve visited this place. The Real Jerk has been a landmark in the Toronto island food scene for many years. The outside of the building is brightly painted in red, yellow and green, the colours of Jamaica and the theme is followed [...]
