It is difficult to find a good delicatessen in downtown Toronto. Full stop. Of course, there are reasons for this: traditions have not always trickled down to the next-gen; commercial leases & rents are at an all time high; eating sensibilities have pivoted; grab-and-go sections of the supermarket are flooded with inferior, cost-effective options. As…

Drupati’s ~ 2038 Yonge St ~ (416) 487-7684
With 6 locations across the GTA, Drupati’s has been cooking-up some of the city’s finest Trinidadian cuisine for the past 20 Years. Needless to say, I was more than pleased when they opened their Yonge & Davisville location last summer… right in the heart of my old stomping grounds. Hey, look… there’s Dan Wong about to…

If you’ve never heard of the place, I suggest you check it out. It’s one of…
A Salute to National Sandwich Day
It’s National Sandwich Day, people, and to honour such an important event, it’s fitting to give shout-outs to some of the best places in the city to celebrate. And though I have yet to find a sandwich as good as the Assorted Cold Cut Sub from the DeRosa Bakery (549 Wilson St.) in Hamilton, Toronto…
Mr. Combo – 568 Sheppard Ave W – (416) 398-7877
When it comes to Israeli food in the north end of the city, it’s safe to say that Me Va Me is one of the more popular destinations. Having eaten there a number of times, at various times of day, with numerous people, the most memorable thing was often the same thing: bad service. As such, I…
