One week of eating in Toronto, part 2 of 3.
.
A perfect light dinner @aloetterestaurants sitting at the bar with @taraobrady. It’s a favourite nosh-and-gab spot for us and I will never not love it there. I especially appreciate that they will do half orders on many of the dishes—making a grazing meal much easier. Delicious tomatoes, fried chicken, and always, always the wedge salad. And haiii @patrickkriss, lovely to see you, it’s been a while!
.
Another perfect light-ish nosh-and-gab dinner the next night with @foodpr0n at the bar @primeseafoodpalace. Holy cow, @coulsoncooks’ burger and fries are shades of perfect and a fantastic splurge. The tres leches cake from @marilsl was sooo good. The best service from (and nerdy chats with) Raimey and Jess.
.
Friday night @letambourtavern in Hamilton with my beloved @bdiversitygroup. First time to this very cute spot and was not disappointed. Loved their fun take on a panzanella salad and yes, please to those perfectly crisp and fluffy chunky fries. Lovely service, tasty food, will return. Serendipity to see @tastehamont there—thank you for the ginger cake, Jen! It went home with Ren and was reported to be very delicious.
.
A @phancybodega grilled cheese lunch with @somachocolatemaker peeps. This was my tuna melt grilled cheese and I devoured it. Every other Phancy’s grilled cheese variant was ordered and reported to be damn tasty (hubby loved his breakfast grilled cheese).
.
I couldn’t help but have one of my precious stash of @futuragraniteria cantaloupe granita freezies. I bought a supply to get me through the winter. They have freezies in stock right now and you should go get some so you won’t be too sad when granita season ends.
.
The first half of a Saturday AFM carb fest to celebrate @misfittoye’s birthday was goods from @emmertoronto. Sausage roll (always hits), savoury brioches, cherry brioche, cookies (the PB miso cookie is especially good), a loaf of their delicious sesame bread.
