At NOW this week, they're running what looks like only half a review online, as Steven Davey's visit to Nota Bene stops rather abruptly and doesn't include dessert. He enjoys a number of pork-based dishes with a nod to the Chinese Zodiac and the year of the pig, although that was actually 2007 - 2008 is the year of the rat. Davey's also got a list of other places that are open late, and he heads north of the 401 to check out pan-Asian Tuyen. Graham Duncan proves his bravery and drinks some scary pink vodka stuff.
At Eye, they're still terrorizing readers with the attacking beer keg ad, but Sean Kelly Keenan's piece on "secret eats" is an interesting collection of all the places to get grub that you never knew existed.
Billy Munelly explains light summer reds in his wine column at Metro, while Barb Holland features heirloom tomatoes in an easy bruschetta. There's also a recipe for oatmeal bars from the new Charlie Ayers cookbook.
