  1. Xiomara (Reply) on Saturday 25, 2011

    Hi Jess!

    Xiomara here. We met at Ki the other night. I’m a friend of Cynthia at ASC PR. I’ve read your whole blog back to front this week and I love it! Seems we have some similar taste in food. I really enjoyed reading about your escapades in food and will return often.

    Could I make a suggestion? You might want to add a section that ranks the restaurants by your star ratings? If I were in a pinch, I would LOVE to come back to this site and go straight to your favourites!

    Keep up the good eatin’!

    Xiomara

    • Jess (Reply) on Saturday 25, 2011

      Hi Xiomara – Thanks for stopping by and for the suggestion! I really appreciate the feedback. I will definitely get that into the works (…or Mike will). Hope to see you again!

  2. sir louis solomon (Reply) on Saturday 25, 2011

    Where can you find tripe in Toronto??

    • Jess (Reply) on Saturday 25, 2011

      Wish I could help you. Unfortunately I don’t eat tripe very often!

  3. Brea (Reply) on Saturday 25, 2011

    HI Jess!

    I found your site through Abbey’s Kitchen! I’m moving to Toronto in a few short weeks & am so excited to start eating with Abbey (Just to clarify, I’m her little sister’s best friend… not a random internet stalker 🙂 also my boyfriend would also like to join the hard core foodie partner support group). I love that your site is divided up into Toronto’s neighbourhoods! So helpful as I’m sure it will take me months to figure out where the hell I am!

    Hope to cross paths (or forks) with you in Toronto!

    Brea

    • Jess (Reply) on Saturday 25, 2011

      Hi Brea – Moving to Toronto? Welcome! You’re definitely in for a treat. Toronto is such a fantastic food city that has grown so much in the past few years. I’m glad you’re enjoying going through my blog. I hope it’ll be helpful! I’m sure we’ll cross paths in the future. Cheers!

  4. Tracey (Reply) on Saturday 25, 2011

    Hi Jess – this is an impressive list of restaurants and reviews. I look forward to coming back again and again. Thanks!
