Kudos to the people at the Food Network for raising the culinary bar on food shows in Ontario, with the Delicious Food Show this past weekend at the Better Living Centre in Toronto. Caron and I were invited to the gala opening last Thursday night and from the time we stepped onto the posh pink [...]
It only took 21 years before my first visit to the Toronto Zoo and I’m still kicking myself for having waited this long for my first visit. A couple weeks ago we took the drive down to the Toronto Zoo and what an amazing time we had… but tiring. The last time Caron had been [...]
Good food, fast and cheap.. does it still exist? The answer turns out to be one of the best Vietnamese dining experience in Hamilton. Pho Dau Bo Restaurant on Cannon street east in Hamilton serves up some of the most authentic Vietnamese (and what we think is Thai as well) food in the area and [...]

I’m a nerd at heart so when we had the opportunity this past summer to go to the Ontario Science Centre, I was giddy as a child on Easter morning. The anticipation of going from floor to floor in search of my own little nuggets of info and the idea that we’ll be seeing ‘cool’ [...]

What was supposed to be an exciting and appetizing lunch at The Pickle Barrel restaurant at Sherway Gardens, turned out to be a bit of a disappointment for the most part. Tehya had previously dined at another Pickle Barrel location a few months back, so she was excited when we decided to have lunch after [...]

Hamilton is alive with culinary culture and U SHAO BBQ, Hamilton’s first Korean BBQ is just another wonderful addition to our ever-expanding culinary landscape. Last weekend my friend Marco and I were invited down to the grand opening of U SHAO BBQ at the corner of John and Main Street East for a BBQ experience [...]

I’ve seen it happen countless times on episodes of Cheers and as we walked though Teddy’s Restaurant Sports Bar in Grimsby we got the feeling that everyone there knew our names and were about to shout it out. As on the popular tv series from the 90′s. Sandy (owner) had invited us down on their [...]

Creative and Kitchen are two words which could easily be used when describing myself, but when it comes to Caron… let’s just say that’s just not the case. Caron is one of those people who need a step by step recipe, along with every ingredient mentioned in the recipe. There’s no substitution and I don’t [...]

Indian cuisine is one of those dining experiences which may seem a bit intimidating to many, especially with it’s reputation for being overly spicy. However, with our recent dinner date at Tandoori Flame in Brampton Ontario, we’re about to set the record straight for all of you who’ve not given the Indian dining experience a [...]

Unlike last year when we covered quite a few fall fairs around the region, this year the only one we had time for was the Brampton Fall Fair. If you recall we did features on the Ancaster Fair, Caledonia Fair and the Niagara Regional Exhibition but due to scheduling problems we were unable to continue [...]

It’s always a pleasure when our girls join us on our adventures, but their moody ways and typical tardy teenage profile almost saw us late for our reservations at Turtle Jack’s Muskoka Grill Upper Centennial in Hamilton. Kieana, Indy and Tehya were supposed to be with us, but Tehya wasn’t feeling well (ended up having [...]

When you hear the jingle “Let’s go to the EX”, what comes to mind? For me it’s a sad indication that the summer is coming to an end, but it’s back to school time (no more lazy teenagers in the house). We had been to the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) or the EX as it’s [...]

I always wondered what possesses a sane person to strap on some fabric held together by string and jump out of a perfectly functioning airplane at an insane height in the air. If you’ve had the same thought run through your mind, I’m hoping my experience at Skydive Swoop in Dundas Ontario will help you [...]

We arrived at Walkers Fish Market in Burlington with seconds to spare for our 7 pm reservations and though the parking lot at the font and side of the building were packed, we easily found a spot at the rear. Caron and I are very picky about being on time, so watching the clock while [...]

Our third stop of the day at Niagara Falls, saw us at the Whirlpool Aero Car. When we did the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour a couple weeks back, Caron swore that there’s no way she would ever be suspended that high over the Niagara Whirlpool, as we did some maneuvers directly below the Spanish Aero [...]

What started off as a great day in Toronto at the St Lawrence Market, got even better when we took the short walk over to the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch. Parking is always an issue in Toronto, so we decided to find all-day parking and move around on foot and subway… luckily there was [...]

The Eaton Centre is probably one of our favourite malls in all of Ontario, but it’s definitely not for everyone. Unlike Oakville Place which is considerably tame in comparison, or Square One in Mississauga and Vaughn Mills up in Vaughn,which are as vibrant but less chaotic, the Eaton Centre is one of those shopping experiences [...]
