At BlogUT Graham reviews Rice Bar in Kensington Market, and JP looks at the misleading images of fast food advertising.
Catherine Jheon of Beyond Burgers posts a very favourable review of the food at Cajun Corner that had me checking prices for airfare to New Orleans to fulfill my Cafe Du Monde coffee and beignet craving. Turns out I only have to go across town, as Cajun Corner serves up the delicacies on weekends, in addition to their tasty po’ boy sandwiches and fried ‘gator.
James Chatto of Toronto Life writes about the Wine Tasting Challenge and muses on French fry quality - at this time of year, potatoes have been sitting all winter and the starch has turned to sugar, making the frites sweet, but not especially crispy. If you’ve been getting soggy fries at upscale restaurants, that’s why. Interesting. Also at Toronto Life, David Lawrason features wine from Greece.
At BlogTO, Megan reviews Morning Glory on King East where the food is sublime and the dishware is uber-retro (seriously, my Aunt Barb had a set of those dishes the cookie is served on), while Tanja has her own retro experience at Daddy-O’s Milk Bar, Roncy’s own version of Pop Tate’s Choklit Shoppe from the Archie comics.
Also at BlogTO, Frank offers up his arteries to the heart attack gods and compares Dangerous Dan’s and The Burger Shoppe. Brave man. Meanwhile, Chris Orbz garnishes a review of Chinese vegetarian Bo De Duyen with plenty of ellipses and plenty of praise.
And at Spotlight Toronto, Suresh goes for some old school Chinese at House of Chan and discovers there’s a better selection than balls in jello - like steak.
