The 3 Brewers located at 125 York Blvd, Unit #135 in Richmond Hill
May 4, 2019: I remember first dining at a 3 Brewers in Montreal with friends many years ago and the blonde ale beers and how they had barrels of peanuts at the front of the restaurant that you could scoop for yourself.
This visit at the Richmond Hill location was all right to me. Continue reading
Hero Certified Burgers located at 79A Yonge Street in Toronto
May 1, 2019: It’s been a while since I last ate at a Hero Certified Burgers fast food restaurant. Their burgers are pretty good. They now have a 100% vegetarian burger and a new haddock burger on the menu.
It was a late night at the office and we were coincidentally both still downtown. We dropped into this location of Hero Burger at Yonge Street and King Street for a late night dinner. Continue reading
Shoeless Joe’s located at 21 Colossus Dr in Vaughan
April 30, 2019: Wow, I’m surprised, I have never blogged about a Shoeless Joe’s restaurant before. I actually don’t even remember if I’ve even been to this sports grill/restaurant franchise before. XD.

Asian Popcorn Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Stir-fried Veggies
April 25, 2019: This was probably the most disappointing Chefs Plate meal I made, and it’s all because of my own mistakes than the recipe itself. Oh, well. You live and you learn.
This dish was the Asian Popcorn Chicken with Jasmine Rice, Lime Aioli, and Stir-fried Veggies. It had a difficulty level of “medium” and a cooking time of 30 minutes. Continue reading

Brown Donkatsu and Ramen located at 3235 Highway 7 East, Unit 22 in Markham
April 28, 2019: We were in the area of First Markham Place and looking for a restaurant to have lunch. We went to Brown Donkatsu and Ramen. I remember when this restaurant used to be called Sonoya Japanese Noodle House (the ramen was mediocre). It seems that they still serve all of the ramen choices that they used to offer as Sonoya but now include Japanese tonkatsu (fried chicken or pork cutlets) and donburi (rice bowls) as well. They’re so Continue reading
Next to Normal at the CAA Theatre in Toronto
My first time “reviewing” a musical. I’ve seen so, so many musicals over the years but really didn’t think to “judge” them like I have for my numerous restaurant reviews (but I did assemble a photo slideshow of all my visits). I like documenting my life and experiences too much, so here is a look at what I thought of watching Next to Normal this time in Toronto at the CAA Theatre (formerly the Panasonic Theatre). Continue reading
Baked Beef & Cheese meatloaf with Baby Arugula tossed in a Pesto Vinaigrette

Described as an “elevated classic,” the homestyle beef meatloaf was baked with a gooey cheese topping and paired with a fresh arugula salad. A basil pesto vinaigrette was then drizzled over the crispy potatoes and meatloaf. Continue reading
