Ali Baba Kebab
A few months ago I noticed a new restaurant setting up shop on Princess Street, just up from Clergy. I thought I was dreaming, a new Middle Eastern restaurant downtown! My favourite! I was so excited to see Ali Baba Kebab and knew that I had to try it. Harvey and I, along with a [...]

Taj Curry House
Darbar was closed for a week when I was having a wicked Indian craving. Rahim’s wouldn’t answer my calls. Curry Original was too expensive. I was stuck. I checked out Kingstonist’s poll and decided to try out Taj Curry House given its third place ranking. I typically order delivery when I get Indian as I [...]

Weekly Poll: Kingston’s Signature Dish
Philadelphia is known for its cheesesteak. Belgium is the birthplace of waffles. And Quebec lays claim to first combining french fries, cheese curds and gravy. While not every city in the world can claim responsibility for creating popular menu items, they each have unique and interesting restaurants, public markets, bakeries, breweries and other manufacturers of [...]

Top 10 of 2010: The Rise of the Locavore
As I start to consider my New Year’s resolution for 2011, I think a look back at one of my goals from 2010 is in order. My personal quest to eat and support local food producers is an ongoing quest, while my initial plea for help was well received. We got some great information on [...]

Pat’s Restaurant (it’s not sushi!)
In case you haven’t noticed, Kingston is full of Cambodian and Thai restaurants. Despite my 10 years of living here, I’ve only recently ventured into some of these establishments, the first experience being at Phnom Pehn nearly a year ago. A friend of mine is an excellent chef and made me some incredible Penang one [...]

The Rise of the Locavore
Like many people, each and every year I make a pledge to better myself, and give back to the local community. This year, I purposely kept my New Year’s resolution to myself. It’s not as though I was ashamed of my master plan for 2010, rather, I feared that if I put it out there, [...]

Ta-ke or Leave it
Well, I must say, we sure have a lot of sushi in this town considering our size. That is not by any means a complaint though! Yes, another sushi review. I can’t help it, I’m an addict! Harvey and I hit Ta-ke Sushi last week and I have to say I was not impressed. It [...]

Sima Sushi
This weekend Harvey and I had guests visiting from out of town. Little did we know, so did many people, including all the hotels and many of the restaurants. The city was flooded with dancers and musicians for the Rob Roy Highland Dancers Fall Competition making it difficult for locals like us to find a [...]

Sushi Ya
Last month I did a bit of crowd sourcing, and requested your recommendations for happenin’ sushi spots in the Limestone City. My call to bear chopsticks seemed rather popular, as it received 10 solid responses and nods to local restaurateurs. With a little help from my friends, and a desire to try something other than [...]
