The Teppanyaki-style restaurant Sakana Grill is one of my favourite places to eat, and for a good reason. First of all, the menu is large, creative and accommodating to everyone. I recommend ordering an Udon Noodle soup, a sushi boat or even some Teriyaki Chicken. I personally guarantee that they are good. Overall the food…

The age old dilemma when it comes to eating out is finding a restaurant that keeps everyone satisfied with their meal, and it is often hard for everyone to agree…
This article is definitely not about Starbucks, much to your potential dismay. Starbucks has had its fair share of media attention, most recently, the launch of “Dumb Starbucks” in Los Feliz, Los Angeles. With a visit to Crepes and Cravings today, I discovered that Starbucks isn’t the only company that can dazzle and amaze you…

I love cupcakes. This month alone I can safely say I have had the privilege of having six, AND the month is not even halfway through! (I think this should be the definition of success) So of all the cupcakes I’ve had this month which one was the cutest? Since it is coming up on…
The other day I was looking for a quick, easy, on-the-go sort of breakfast, and quite frankly, there’s only so many smoothies I can make until I get a little bored. So instead, I thought I’d do a little experiment. I wanted to make blueberry muffins, and at Annie’s Cafe where I used to work…
Laurier Lounge is known as a high quality French restaurant. I did not find it to be as high quality as it should have been. The service was excellent and attentive, but was a bit slow. The menu is very limited so I recommend you check out the menu prior to going to this restaurant,…

MEAT I sure hope I’m not the only that adds hot sauce to all of my foods. Bland food has no taste or flavour to me. I did some research, and tried this out myself, but meat tastes much better with hot sauce. The meat could be any kind, ranging from hot to cold. The…
It seems like everywhere you turn in this city, there’s a restaurant. A cafe. An ethnic food place. A diner. A steakhouse. A fast food joint. For foodies like me, this is both a blessing and a major headache. All the choices and diversity = a blessing. Having to sift through a nearly infinite list…
So you’ve made your fruitcake or your cookies, but they’re missing something, a bit of oomph, holiday cheer, that “wow” factor (or “aww” factor) that’ll light up the table more then the turkey dinner itself.
