Made only one purchase today for #visaeveryday. We had brunch at the Richmond location of Browns Socialhouse.
Normally, grammatical offences would have knocked this casual dining franchise off my list. First, its name. Shouldn’t it be Brown’s or even Browns’? Socialhouse is not a word. And its noun-verb mixed motto of “Restaurant. [...]
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 [...]

Last summer, Gwendolyn and her sister — for the sake of research of course [...]
Lineups are the bane of weekend brunchers in Calgary. It’s always a pleasant surprise when you don’t have to stand in line for at least 15 minutes, perhaps cupping a precious cup of coffee while craning your neck to see how far down your name is on the waiting list.
The Bistro at Art Central [...]
I was craving waffles one morning so took the opportunity to try the Belgian kind I’d heard so much about at Manuel Latruwe.
The bakery sells flaky croissants, fresh bread and sweet pastries at the counter. But you can also order off their short breakfast/lunch menu for eating in the cafe.
I can categorize [...]
