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

By Mijune

In my short stay I managed to try their most locally recommended bakeries and restaurants. By “most locally recommended” I mean in the first 2 days I had at least a few recommendations for them from locals. I almost thought there were only 6 restaurants in town. These bakeries and restaurants were likely the “top” in their respective category.

Seattle, WA – Paseo (“Best Roast Pork Sandwich”)

By Mijune

I could smell roasted pork and tangy vinegar as soon as I got near. Paseo is a long time favourite in Seattle known for “the best sandwich in America”, or even “the best sandwich in the world”, which bothers me because I’m not a fan of “best of” lists. Anyway, last time I was here I got really lost and ended up at Local 360. This time, I had to find it.

Toronto, ON – Follow Me Foodie to Kensington Market!

By Mijune

The area consists of long time businesses and the market is full of iconic institutions selling meats, cheese, seafood, spices and produce. It would be a shame to visit Toronto and miss out on this since the city prides itself on diversity. Here is my self guided foodie tour of Kensington Market.

Thank goodness I never listened to my mother when she told me never to take food from strangers. Yes, I did it again. Mark Clarke is the cook and owner of Jamaican Thyme, his own catering company specializing in Jamaican food – but specifically Jerk chicken.

Calabash Bistro

By Mijune

The menu had traditional and modern interpretations of Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine. It was still a bit catered for West Coast tastes and the flavours weren’t necessarily “authentic”, but the food tasted good enough for me to overlook authenticity. I was impressed!

Jamaica – Juici Patties VS Tastee Patties (Best Jamaican Patties)

By Mijune

There’s a constant debate between Juici Patties and Tastee Patties, which are the two biggest Jamaican patty chains in Jamaica. Both claim to carry the best patties, but I probably came across more locals that liked Tastee Patties.
