Working in East Chinatown for the past ten years, feel like I’ve tried most of the restaurants in the ‘hood. There’s this one spot a little further east that’s always eluded me. Bach Yen (738 Gerrard St E) was put in my radar last week by Suresh Doss, and it’s a real winner. Have been…
The BarBQ Factory ~ 1559 O’Connor Dr ~ (647) 352-1979
There’s a lot of really good stuff going on at The BarBQ Factory. This Texas-style BBQ joint is hidden away in a strip mall in the Bermondsy/Topham Park neighbourhood of East York. These guys are smoking-up some absolute classics, without the downtown price-tag. Brought to you by the same folks as Barsa Taberna by the…

Our family moved into the St. Clair & O’Connor neighbourhood just before the public heath situ went sideways. As such, we’ve been sticking real close to home this past…
