A love of shoes and fried chicken on Oscar night is just part of my friendship with Shawna who hasn’t lived in the same city as me for years. So when we do get to meet up, we look for a great restaurant where we can feast and catch up. Since she eats mostly vegan, [...]
When we visited my sister in Toronto, J happened to be on a diet of no gluten, no sugar, and no yeast. She miraculously found a fantastic place for lunch that fit that bill called Zocalo. We thought it was a short walk from her place. But it was one of those stinky, humid Toronto [...] UPDATE – March 2011: Organics Delivered has gone out of business.
