Where I Go Out
Spicy pork neck ssam
$$, Korean, Gastropub, Trinity Bellwoods
"This is the first place I visit when I'm craving Korean food in Toronto. They also take their music seriously, which I appreciate."
Peameal bacon sandwich
$, Bakery, Sandwiches, St. Lawrence
"It's a delicious sandwich, but you know what makes it even better? Kozlik’s mustard. It's seriously the best mustard I've ever had, and I eat it all the time when I'm in Toronto."
Pigs' head w/ Momofuku lentil miso
$$$$, Modern, Full Bar, Asian, New American, South Of Market
"I recommend the pigs' head with lentil hozön and bönji, pickles, red wine vinegar, and lentils from Benu by chef Corey Lee."
Mamma's meatball pizza
$, Pizza, Six Points
"Mamma's is a favorite with the Momofuku Toronto staff. It's a chain with locations all over Toronto. I like the meatball pizza, which I add mushrooms to."
Phở
$, Asian, Vietnamese, Trinity Bellwoods
"This is my go-to phở joint because the broth is clean and delicious. The veggies are always fresh, and they have a large menu with options that will make your whole party happy."
At My Venues
Beets, citrus, rye, xo sauce
$$$$, Modern, Full Bar, Asian,
"Crazy delicious, unexpected flavors. The xo sauce adds a depth of umami flavor that you don’t even realize this dish is vegetarian."
I love the pork belly buns, too much!
$$$$, Modern, Full Bar, Asian, New American, Bowery
"The melt in your mouth fat from the pork belly mingles nicely with the rooster sauce finished by the crisp and crunchy cucumbers enveloped in the soft fluffy steamed buns."
Spicy pork sausage and rice cakes
$$$, Modern, Full Bar, Asian, American, Ukrainian Village
"Spicy is an understatement—this dish is hot and so damn good. The crispy and tender rice cakes make the dish."
Cookies
$, Desserts, Melrose
"Christina Tosi’s cookies are all delicious. It’s impossible for me to choose a favorite, as I have had so many great cookies there. They’re chewy, fun, and they always have a slightly doughy, delicious taste."
Fried chicken
$$, Japanese, Noodles, Midtown
"If y'all are in NY anytime soon, plan ahead and make a fried chicken reservation at Momofuku Noodle Bar! A special reservation is needed for their fried chicken served two ways and it is a must!"
