DiningOut Toronto Food Publication In Review

5/20/08

Just got a hold of DiningOut which is a publication that focuses closely on fine dining in Toronto. Not bad in fact very informative yet I feel like a few ends are missing from this magazine. Some of the articles are very brief and they keep it short and sweet for the most part. The great thing about DiningOut mag is that they offer a food guide towards the back of the magazine which highlights some upscale places which are some what uncommon to eat at. It's always important to take recommendations for places that you've never been too hence some of our reasoning for having a site like the Tastebuds. One thing I did enjoy about DiningOut is that they did a write up/interview on the restaurant Six Steps. Pretty cool to hear about Six Steps and of course about their place which is right near the St.Lawrence Market. Others things I enjoyed where the odds and ends from restaurants to recipes to full thrown articles on tuna. Overall great direction within this magazine and definitely worth picking it up from newsstands.

seared sashimi-grade tuna is life....

5/4/08

Some people squirm at the thought of raw fish, but the rest of us make up for that by happily eating deliciously fresh and raw fish as often as possible ( unless pregnant or elderly). Pass the sushi, pass the raw tuna, and definitely pass the seared tuna from Pf Chang's, a wicked restaurant chain in the U.S. It was on this night in Florida that I shared a seared tuna appetizer, Ginger chicken with steamed Broccoli, Mongolian beef with scallions, and chicken lettuce wraps with my mom and sister.

The meal was delish but the tuna and lettuce wraps were the star players...my camera was acting a bit strange so the lettuce wraps were un-photographed :(

...And a really miniature cheesecake dessert in a shot glass to end the meal- it was kind of overly sweet and overly creamy, but was too cute and too cheap ( $2.00!!!) to pass up....

cheesecake also= life
