Life is a busy rat race. Between cubical decorating, water cooler gossip, football, hair appointments, drinking with boys, huffing glue, mani-pedis, shopping and reality shows, its a wonder anyone has time to eat. Lets face it, finding time to make those pesky meals is just too much sometimes. Eating is not about enjoying the ingredients and preparation of the meal, but simply about ensuring that you put something in your belly so you don’t feel that bothersome thing called hunger.

Restaurant Review: Black Hoof Part 2

It was late. 12:00 a.m late. We were hungry. There is not much open at 12 a.m. in Toronto when it comes to good quality food. Thank goodness for the Black Hoof. We rolled in and were met with smiles and even though the kitchen was 45 min away from closing, they fed us without complaint.

The first pic I snapped is just inside the door of a jumbo sized food outlet that will remain namless. It was massive beyond anything I have ever seen. The epic proportions some how made the food inside feel cheap and utterly disposable. It took me 6 shots to create this panorama.

My time at Cowbell

A couple of years ago, when I was toying with the idea of going into the kitchen, I ate at Cowbell. It had been open for a while and making waves in the Toronto dining scene. Fresh food, whole animal butchery and a commitment to farmers and producers in the local area. Now, these concepts are finding their way in to the everyday food lexicon, but back then, it was a new approach to running a restaurant.
