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 doubt my smoked meat will taste as good as the …

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 kid, …

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 …

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

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 …
