Follow Me Foodie to New York: Restaurants, bars, food & drinks worth flying for!

By

This list will continue to grow for sure. It’s New York, arguably “the best” food city in North America. I really dislike “best of” lists and I think “the best food city” is dependent on what kind of food you want, but generally many would agree that New York has it all – and they do.

Follow Me Foodie to the Yukon Territories! (Bakeries and restaurants in Whitehorse) – Part 1/2

By

When you visit a remote area and a small town almost every recommended restaurant you hit is “the best” there is. The Yukon Territories is not a culinary destination yet, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing going on. While the Northern Lights and local activities such as dog sledding are the main tourist attractions, the food scene isn’t too shabby.

Vancouver Welcomes Cook Hall at MARKET by Jean-Georges (Pop-up restaurant)

By

From October 18 – 31, Vancouver welcomes Executive Chef David Gross from Cook Hall in Atlanta at MARKET by Jean-Georges. Cook Hall is an American gastro-pub with a bar snack and cocktail themed menu. Don’t expect chicken wings and nachos, this is more sophisticated. It’s still finger food, well for the most part, but once in a while you’ll still reach for the cloth napkin.

Tofino, BC – SoBo Restaurant – Part 2/2

By

It had the approachability of say a Cactus Club, but the personal touch and flavours of Tofino. The food was fun, casual and unpretentious, but slightly hit and miss, which is likely due to the size of the menu. The “hits” were toe-curling good and I would come back for those alone… heck, I would even come back just for their Lime Margaritas!

Toronto, ON – Buca Osteria & Enoteca (Best Italian Restaurant in Toronto) – Part 3/3

By

Jamie Oliver tweeted it as his “favourite meal of the year”. The bread, salumi, and pastas are house made and there is an expert approach to the craft. The care, detail and effort that went into each component made even the simplest dishes taste extravagant. This is a must try.
