Then The Eat Street Cookbook Arrived

Then The Eat Street Cookbook Arrived

Gerry just came into the office with a big padded manila envelop (I was going to say package, but I know some of you would read that wrong.) Inside was my last prize – the new Eat Street Cookbook. It’s filled with great recipes and beautiful photos. Even the trucks I visit the most – El Gastronomo Vagabundo and Caplansky’s Deli Truck (aka Thundering Thelma). And from the episode I was IN – Smoke’s Poutinerie . For the West Coasters, don’t worry, Japadog and Vij’s Railway Express are in here too! They’ve included a Truck Index and a Recipe Index.…

Chef Adam Hynam-Smith in Chefs #LoveCDNBeef on unsweetened.ca

The first time I meet  Chef Adam Hynam-Smith, our next Chef in the Chefs #LoveCDNBeef series, he was leaning up against a food truck in the Distillery District at the first Food Truck Eats event. That may have been the last time I saw him standing still. I was there early taking photos and “helping”, so when he offered me a sample, I turned it down. I figured it wasn’t really fair to sample early.  I was a fool! Within 15 minutes the line up for  El Gastrónomo Vagabundo, the food truck he runs with his partner Tamara Jensen, was…

More Than I Could Eat @foodcabbie

More Than I Could Eat @foodcabbie

This $5.50 breakfast special from @FoodCabbie was more than I could eat for breakfast and I even got it without the refried beans.  (it’s the Breakfast Special on the green paper below the menu, but I think it’s almost exactly the same as the Breakfast Burrito, just with homefries) Good solid breakfast food with a little spicy kick.  The only disappointment was that after a long conversation with Rob  at Matt’s Road Show dinner about NYC food truck coffee I was craving good food truck coffee.  Unfortunately this truck doesn’t serve it. Luckily Rachel had me covered at the office!…

Lex on Street Meat

Lex on Street Meat

Yes it’s true, I’m going to be CBC 1 discussing Street Meat with Jian Ghomeshi on Sounds Like Canada Friday. I’m hoping the conversation will expand beyond just Street Meats since the hotdog cart is the strongest representative in Toronto’s Street Meats category. However there are plenty of other Street Treats to be had – empanada, puri, doubles, pupusas, roti, roasted corn and even waffle fishies filled with bean paste. And I’m willing to wax poetic about all of them! Jian & I will be joined by a food blogger from Vancouver and a donair & dog aficionado from Halifax.…
