Confessions of a Macaron Addict: Boutique Point G

Amanda Di Pancrazio May 15, 2015

Before I begin, let's be clear that I'm talking about macarons. They're those adorable - often colourful - treats seen in the photo above, not to be mistaken with the coconutty nasty "treat" known as the macaroon. Cause who the hell would write about macaroons?

The King Lives - and he makes the best tacos in town

Amanda Di Pancrazio April 26, 2015

It's no secret - I love Mexican food. And I absolutely loathe what most people believe is Mexican food. Let's get real here: 3 Amigos is not Mexican food: it's tex mex. If we all got a taste of the real deal, we'd all be hooked and we'd all be a bunch of jumbo-sized oompa loompas. Totally worth it.

Auberge Dragon Rouge: A Theatrical and Meaty-Meal

Amanda Di Pancrazio April 7, 2015

A month ago, the BF proclaimed that we needed to go to this restaurant that a co-worker told him about. He said it was a medieval-themed restaurant with good food. Oh, OK.

Naturally, I did some reading because I wanted to know what I was getting into. Would there be sword fights and jousting and knights in full-body armour?! No, there isn't, but I quickly came to realize that this place was much more than just entertainment: their food was actually good. It just so happened that the thematic entertainment was a perk. Now I was intrigued.
