You've got to give props to Julie Reitsma of Torontoist. Her series of food challenges take her into some forbidding territory. This week she compares fast food salads, all of which look kind of scary. And while it's not completely food-related, I'm including Torontoist's piece on Baldwin Street, as it references a number of area restaurants.

At BlogTO, Tanja's got a series of drool-worthy dessert photos in her review of Novecento, and Frank tucks into a bowl of pho at Que Ling.

Eric Vellend remembers his roots and his Grandma and recounts an Estonian Christmas at Menumental, while James Chatto gets to sneak in to a fancy wine tasting he wasn't invited to at Toronto Life.

At Gremolata, Eric Wood defends pricey cheese, there's a reprint of Ivy Knight's Acadian Christmas post from last year, Evan Mitchell and Brian Mitchell have a piece on winespeak, and Malcolm Jolley reviews Guigal's 2003 Côtes du Rhône.
