Stock-in-Trade ~ 1272 Danforth Ave ~ (416) 792-5059

Stock-in-Trade is a new butcher shop located on Danforth just east of Greenwood. Owner Jason Becker is doing a lot of interesting things with the space, and he and his team are pretty cool, knowledgeable people. They source, prepare and serve properly-raised, hormone & stimulant-free meat and incorporate it into everything they do. This place…

Mocha Mocha is an extremely popular, family-friendly café in the heart of Greektown.

Joe’s Wings + Burgers ~ 2825 Danforth Ave ~ (647) 340-5500

It’s really nice to be able to get…

We recently ran into one of my wife’s friends at our local Target. Turns out that we both moved into the same neighbourhood not so long ago. We began exchanging stories, mostly about being new parents:) Anyways, the conversation meandered into the realms of food, and then local food. And though neither of us have lived in the hood…
