Northern Smokes

Northern Smokes

371 Old Kingston Rd Unit 12, Scarborough, ON M1C 1B7 Why does barbecued food, especially smoked barbecue, taste so good? I’m tempted to get a smoker so I can smoke my own meat, but I irrationally think that someone or something will end up eating 

Patty Time

Patty Time

2919 Lawrence Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1P 2S8 Party time!! 🎉 Oops, this post is supposed to be about Patty Time and patties… I think pretty much everyone (in the GTA) has eaten a patty at some point in their lives. When I was a 

World Famous Pizza

World Famous Pizza

1145 Morningside Ave #40, Scarborough, ON M1B 0A7 I first heard of World Famous Pizza when someone I know mentioned that their pizza is so good, they drive all the way from Don Mills Rd to Morningside Ave to get it for their team lunches 

Firehouse Subs

Firehouse Subs

170 Kingston Rd E Unit 4A, Ajax, ON L1Z 0C7 I first learned about Firehouse Subs when a commercial for it came on TV one evening. Thinking they were only in the U.S, I wished that there were more sub-options in Canada. Curiosity got the

2570 Birchmount Rd, Scarborough, ON M1T 2M5 Someone suggested Chris Jerk when my co-workers and I were trying to decide where to go to grab lunch one day at work (before covid-19 and working from home every day began). That was the first time I

Main’s Mansion

144 Main St N, Markham, ON L3P 5T3 I don’t typically like going out for breakfast because I feel like most of it is food I can make at home myself for less than half the cost, that is until I had breakfast at Main’s 

Francesca Bakery

Francesca Bakery

2 Invergordon Ave, Scarborough, ON M1S 2Y8 Since I’m not big on sweets, I have probably passed by Francesca Bakery thousands of times (my grandma lives nearby) without a second thought. My husband loves sweets though so he kept mentioning that we should go there 

Poke Guys

Poke Guys

8110 Birchmount Rd #10, Markham, ON L6G 0E3 Maybe I just wasn’t aware of poke before I went to Hawaii in 2014, but poke bowls seem to be pretty popular in the GTA the last few years. Imagine sashimi on top of rice along with 

Local Leaside

Local Leaside

180 Laird Dr, East York, ON M4G 3V7 Patios have been even more popular this year due to covid-19 and the limitations of eating inside. If you want a good one to go to in midtown Toronto, you should definitely try Local Leaside, near Leslie 

Buster’s Sea Cove

Buster’s Sea Cove

93 Front St E, Toronto, ON M5E 1C3 I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I find it really difficult to find good lobster in the GTA. Most restaurants in the GTA that serve lobster only have lobster tails, except for Red lobster
