I Can Feel Excitement in Toronto Again
2009-10-11 23:40:00
Demar Derozan sticks a nasty put back dunk, Amir Johnson blocks a Nick Young dunk attempt and it's only October. I got my first taste of the 2009-10 Raptors squad in a game against the Wizards and I have to say I'm excited for their season. While I have some serious questions about the team, I know that they're going to be very fun to watch and will score the ball with ease.Even without Hedo playing yet, I can tell this team is back to playoff contention. Bosh put on weight, Derozan will be an impact player this year and additions like Jarrett Jack and Johnson will help off the bench.Remembering back to last year, it seemed like the Raps tanked a little. They were a team that fired it's coach early in the season, made trades that would give them salary relief in the off-season and weren't exactly putting winning first.Now they're back. You can question the signing of 30 year old Hedo Turkoglu and the defensive abilities of this squad. But you cannot question whether they are m...

The Market for Independent Films: A Mid-Year Analysis
2009-08-21 13:22:00
A great proxy for the domestic (U.S. and Canadian) independent film market is the domestic limited release theatrical market. That is, by examining films that opened at 1,000 box office venues or fewer, one gets a strong sense of the market for independent films. Despite constantly evolving new media platforms, a successful box office release ...

Adventures in Toronto (end)
2009-06-04 16:39:00
This about concludes my Adventures in Toronto. I enjoyed wandering around and eating in Toronto. I definitely plan on making another visit up to Toronto sometime in the future. There's still so much to explore and so much to eat! Here's two restaurants (out of many) that caught my attention as I walked by, but did not have the chance to dine at.Aji Sai Japanese Restaurant, at 467 Queen St West.I would love to try this All you can eat lunch special for $10.99 CAD.Wanda's Belgium Waffles, at 331 Yonge Street.Those waffles looked so good through the window.Toronto, we will meet again! :)Links:- Dim Sum at Bright Pearl Restaurant- Johnny Banana- Eggspectations (1)- Eggspectations (2)- Poutine at Harvey's- Pat's Homestyle Jamaican Restaurant- Sunset Grill- Sushi Island- Tim Horton's
Adventures in Toronto: Eggspectations (2)
2009-06-04 02:58:00
It was our last morning in Toronto. Since we enjoyed Eggspectations so much, we decided to grab breakfast there one last time before we left Toronto. This time we were seated further back in the restaurant. This gave me an opportunity to take some pictures of the restaurant's interior. It was a a weekday late morning and the restaurant was quite empty at that time.Here's what we had for breakfast:Chicken BenedictThis is one of their signature eggs benedict dishes. It's two eggs poached, topped with grilled chicken, gruyère cheese and hollandaise sauce.Western omeletteThis is regular western omelette with ham, onion, green pepper, red pepper, etc.Side of corned beefBasket of toastsMost of their locations are in Canada (Quebec, Montreal, Ontario), but their also have a few locations in India and the United States. They actually have two locations in Maryland and one in Virginia.Link: Previous visit to Eggspectations
Adventures in Toronto: Poutine at Harvey's
2009-06-02 21:08:00
We have been walking around Toronto doing touristy things, like visiting the CN Tower, and we were hungry. We were craving for a snack that would fuel us up until dinner time. We came across a Harvey's fast food restaurant. I remember seeing a bunch of them across the city. Apparently, they are like the second largest Canadian food chain, after Tim Horton's. My buddy suggested to go stop by and grab some poutine. Poutine? What's that?Poutine: french fries topped with fresh cheese curds and hot gravyThe french fries are regular sized fries. The cheese curd is at about room temperature. The chunks of cheese are placed top of the warm fries. The gravy is super hot and is poured over the cheese curds and french fries. The gravy will start to melt some of the cheese, so eat it immediately before everything turns too soggy. It is similar to cheese fries, except it's cheese curds instead of melted cheddar cheese. However, it's probably one of the least healthy things to eat.It was my ...
Adventures in Toronto: Eggspectations
2009-05-30 15:43:00
We thought Sunset Grill was pretty neat, but just had to check out the other breakfast restaurant the lady at the hotel suggested. Eggspectations was located on 220 Yonge St. This place had really nice decor. It's definitely on the fancier scale of diners. The restaurant was dimly lit and had a nice atmosphere. I thought it was kind of cute that their door knobs were shaped like eggs.This is the cover of their menu. I really like their logo. It's adorable!Their menu was quite impressive. They had the regular items, like eggs, meat, bagels, etc. and they had pages of their signature dishes, with fun names often starting with the prefix "Egg-". The restaurant also had a bar. Sweet! They listed some of their special alcoholic coffee beverages. We thought it would be quite nice to enjoy a White Russian (or something similar) along with our breakfast.We ordered two of the Eggspectation signature dishes. Here's what we had for breakfast:EggstremeSmoked salmon, grilled tomatoes and two...
Adventures in Toronto: Sunset Grill
2009-05-29 16:49:00
We were craving for some good breakfast foods, like eggs, ham, toasts, omelettes, and that good stuff. We went to the hotel information desk and asked for some recommendations for local diner places. The lady at the desk picked up an area map and drew some circles. She gave the names of two diner/breakfast restaurants. She referred to Sunset Grill as a regular casual diner and the Eggspectations as a more upscale diner. They were both about two blocks away. We thanked her for her help and walked away staring at the map, trying to decide which of the two places to check out.We decided to hit up Sunset Grill located on 1 Richmond St. West (at Yonge and Richmond). We were a little intimidated by the idea of going to an upscale diner for breakfast. We were simply craving breakfast foods, but nothing too fancy, and so, a regular diner would hit the spot.After we were seated, we quickly looked through the menu and placed our orders. I decided to go for their fluffy pancakes and a side of ...
Adventures in Toronto: Sushi Island
2009-05-24 14:23:00
One late evening, we ventured over to the Little Italy area of Toronto. We were in the mood for sushi and was looking for Sushi Island, located at 571 College St. It was pretty late in the evening and they had stopped offering their All you can eat special (which starts from about $14). Therefore, we were only able to order from their regular menu. Here are some highlights.I think this was a pity salad. This is probably the tiniest salad I've ever seen.Sushi boat platter with 36 piecesDowntown roll (Eel, tobiko, cucumber, and cream cheese)Brown rice sushi (Brown rice with seaweed bits and black sesame seeds)Sushi Island was a pretty good place. The sushi was alright. They were probably close to closing their kitchen when we arrived. That explains the pity salads they offered us, since we were not expecting complimentary salads with our sushi plates. Brown rice sushi is always a neat thing to try. The atmosphere was kind of nice as well. They had these folding panel doors, which gav...
Adventures in Toronto: Johnny Banana
2009-05-24 00:12:00
This cutesy logo caught my attention as we passed by. I'm a big fan of monkeys, and anything with a monkey almost instantly catches my attention. Johnny Banana is a small Mexican food place located at 181 Bathurst St near Queen St West. Even though it's a small restaurant, the simple, clean and bright interiors give the place a fun and hip look.Their menu is relatively small. It's like a fast food place serving burritos, quesadillas, tacos, nachos, and etc. They also serve beer. When you place your order, you work with the server while he assembles your burrito to your liking. I ordered a small chicken burrito with mole sauce, plus guacamole. This picture does the burrito no justice.Great burrito! Fresh ingredients. My burrito was a bit runny from too much mole sauce, but other than that it was a delectable burrito. The price was good too. My small, but appetizing and filling, burrito was about $5.75 CAD.
Adventures in Toronto: Pat's Homestyle Jamaican Restaurant
2009-05-22 15:12:00
While roaming around the streets of Toronto at the late hours, we came across a small hole in the wall restaurant located at 558 Queen St. West. Pat's Homestyle Jamaican Restaurant is this tiny but very friendly and casual looking restaurant. It can probably hold 6 people with their limited seating against the window and the wall. It is a great place for takeout. Their menu was small and simple, and included oxtails, jerked chicken, stew chicken, and other popular Jamaican/Carribean dishes. The best parts about tiny individually owned restaurants is the casual environment and the crazy delicious dishes. Also, the owner, Pat, is right there serving you his awesome dishes and making friendly chatter with his guests.(The night time picture didn't turn out too well, so I took this picture in the day time on the following day.)It was about 10:30 or 11pm and our eyes glittered when we saw noticed that they were still opened and serving dinner. They offered their dishes in small and larg...
Adventures in Toronto: Tim Hortons
2009-05-21 16:31:00
Coffee and donuts! That's a great combination. Coffee and donuts for a quick breakfast or a snack. It's probably not the most healthy thing to be eating all the time, but I do love to treat myself to some donuts once in a while. French crullers, old fashion and chocolate donuts are my favorites. I also like ones with sprinkles. I usually try to avoid the ones with too much frosting, although pink frosted (Homer Simpson) donuts are quite awesome. I used to love the Boston Creme, but now I find the creme filling to be too sweet and heavy for me.In Toronto, I met Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons is this coffee/donuts fast food restaurant. I think of it as the Dunkin Donuts of Toronto, although Tim Hortons do have locations in Upstate NY and various other locations in the US. You can even download a list of US and Canada store locations from here and upload it to your GPS. Dunkin Donuts also have locations in Canada, but not in Toronto I believe.There's almost like one Tim Hortons on every b...
Adventures in Toronto: Dim Sum at Bright Pearl Restaurant
2009-05-20 18:20:00
On our first day in Toronto, we ventured to Chinatown for lunch. We had a craving for some authentic dim sum. The internet suggested the Bright Pearl Restaurant which is located at 346-348 Spadina Ave. They received many good reviews online and seems like the place to go for dim sum.They offered dim sum all day. They even have a Dim sum Happy Hour on weekdays from 9-11:30 am and 1:30-4 pm, where they only charged $1.88 CAD for small, medium, or large plates.We arrived around 1pm, but were a bit too hungry and excited to wait for happy hour. I think regular priced plates where about $3-$5-ish CAD, depending on the size. We only sat down for maybe 3 minutes and we ordered all this. These dishes kept us occupied for a while, until the clock struck 1:30pm and then it's all happy hour price.Here's a few of the classic dishes to order in Dim Sum, other than the usual hargow-suimai (shrimp dumplings) pairing.Tofu skin rolls with chickenSteamed roast pork buns (char siu bao)Pork in black ...

Just came back yesterday from a road trip to Toronto with a bunch of friends. That city is amazing! Toronto has such an awesome atmosphere and a great variety of delicious foods.

I will be sharing my eating adventures from Toronto in these upcoming posts. Stay tuned!

Canadian Road Trip
2009-01-09 15:39:00
Let?s say that you are taking a road trip to Canada with stops in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. Where would you go in each of these cities? The reason for this post is because I am taking a road trip to Canada with stops in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. What a coincidence! I attended a wedding in Montreal almost 10 years ago, but don?t remember much about the city besides taking a river cruise and visiting the William Shatner Center at McGill University. I?ve never been to Ottawa, and figure that since I?m there, maybe I can be Prime Minister for the day. Toronto is one of my favorite places, and I plan on visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame on this trip since I?ve never been there before. I?m heading to these cities as part of my third annual hockey road trip and will be attending NHL games in each place. Besides the hockey games, I?m looking for suggestions of things to do. Therefore, please feel free to add any suggestions about things to do and see in the comments section be...
