Food In Space 1
Space is not a human friendly place. It is a vacuum that will suck the life out you in about 14 seconds. In 1965, a NASA researcher was accidentally exposed to a near vacuum and his last conscious memories was the water on his tongue beginning to boil. Fortunately, he was saved and we …
Food Fail: Candwich
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.

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 …
Mega Food-Mart

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 …

Epic Food Scan 7: A Taste Of Riddley Scott
As you can clearly see, this dish is a tribute to Riddley Scotts sci-fi masterpiece, Alien (that’s the first one for those keeping score). The trick to this dish is to slowly lean over the gently pulsating orbs, innocently taking in the oddly captivating visuals, totally unaware of impending doom. While lost in the rapture …

Epic Food Scan 5: Meat Hoop
What can I say? Words fail me here. This is an amazing blend of form and function. Clearly, the four mini nubs of meaty mush goodness are an integral part of the ingestion of this work of art. I cannot adequately describe the emotional and physical response I get when staring at this image. Its like …
Chef School Essentials 2: More Knives
Choosing your knives. I like knives. I like sharp knives. I spent a long time wandering around the city trying to get my hands on as many knives as I could. There is something fascinating about how a knife feels in the hand; how it cuts and how it sharpens. I feel that having a …

Welcome to Toronto’s most expensive restaurant. This article comes to us courtesy of my buddy Jonas who found it in the Toronto Star. While I admit that the prices are, in fact, high, after reading the article, I am not sure that they are not worth it. I go for dinner at Hashimoto in Don …
