Winterlicious 2013

I know people have their mixed feelings about Toronto's Winterlicious and Summerlicious events.  They don't get the same level of service, food quality is not as great, limited selection and lack of availability.  I get it.  I've probably said all those things myself at one point or another but the honest truth is that its the one time that I feel people actually make an effort to make plans, book a reservation and come out for dinner.  Sad but true.  Most of my experiences have been mediocre to great, nothing awful but nothing super fabulous either.  The one place that definitely stands out more than others is Trevor Kitchen. The food was fabulous, service was amazing and a great reason to try a place that's been on my list!

So Winterlicious 2013 is here, officially starting on January 25th.  As usual I've gone through the restaurants and made my short list of the places I want to try.  Can't wait to start booking them in!

Bohmer – Ossington ($45 Dinner)
Hush – King West ($25 Dinner)
Jump – Financial District ($35 Dinner) - BOOKED

New Year, New Adventures

This post is clearly 3 weeks late! I actually said to myself that I want to make sure I give my blog more attention in 2013 and low and behold I let 3 WEEKS go by without one peep.  Not the best way to start a new year and try to accomplish a resolution.

So with my favourite motto in my head - better late than never - here I am giving this blog the love and attention it so deserves.  Here is what I solemnly swear to my few but very loyal readers.

At LEAST, one official blog post a week including 3-4 weekly Facebook page content posts.

What I hope to do this year is to discover more about the places I love to go not just to eat but to hang out, grab a drink, relax and just do the things that I love to do.  When I first started writing I wanted this to be a lifestyle guide.  A way for me to document all the things I enjoy doing while also challenging myself to do things that might be outside my own comfort zone.  Somewhere along the way it turned out to be more of a food blog and let's be honest, I love to eat so really its not surprising at all.  I'm also making it a commitment to myself to write about different things - what I love about the city and maybe even what I don't.

Alright, time to start promising and start doing!
