Gotcher glitter ready? It's Pride weekend, people! And while the agoraphobic in me stays far away from a crowd of a million people, those with enough fortitude to brave the crowds will need to eat. Steven Davey of NOW recommends Magic Oven on Wellesley Street. Davey's also got another list of Pride restaurants, as well as other hotspots along the parade route, but steers readers away from Soban. Graham Duncan checks out some gay cocktails like the "So Good It's Got to be Gay."

At Eye, they're waving the rainbow flag, but the restaurant column is over on the other side of town with a review of Atelier Thuet. There's no byline to this piece online, but the reviewer greatly enjoyed the place with only a few service missteps, but plenty of Thuet's awesome bread to fill in the gaps. Mmmm... Thuet's bread.

Rick McGinnis visits Craftburger this week at Metro, and if burgers aren't your thing Barb Holland has tips for grilling some tasty-sounding ribs. And it wouldn't be Canada Day without strawberries - this time with jalapeno peppers in the form of strawberry poppers. Also, James Beard Award winner Trish Magwood shares a mocha brownie recipe.
