This past Saturday two of my very dear friends, Noreel and Romina, tied the ol’ knot. And they did so at an intimate venue, with lovely unique details, over my favourite weekend meal — brunch! It was the first brunch wedding I’ve ever attended, and I was very excited to sample the food. So once the ceremony ended and I dabbed my eyes dry after their hilarious and touching vows, it was all about custom-made breakfast sandwiches and frozen hot chocolate drinks.
UPDATE: We are sad to report that OddFellows closed down on February 1, 2011. RIP Taco Hell.
Welcome to Taco Hell. Every Sunday at OddFellows (936 Queen St. W.) the young, hip and hungry gather for this aptly named dinner event to nosh on all-you-can-eat tacos. It’s $15 per person and sitting along their communal table or out on the side patio is a great alternative to a traditional Sunday night dinner. Based on my first experience, the “hell” part likely refers to the way you feel after distending your stomach way past its normal capacity. I literally thought I was going to have a taco baby.

There are few things better than trying out a new restaurant with a favourite eating companion. On this particular evening I was accompanied by fellow food-lover and TV producer Jason F., and we headed to Origin (107 King St. East), the newest venture by Colbourne Lane’s Claudio Aprile. Sadly, Claudio was not working the kitchen when we arrived, but with the best seat in the house, our meal was as entertaining as good TV.
Lunch during the week usually means I’m eating leftovers at my desk, digging into a $4 Cobb Salad or, when it’s a special occasion like a co-worker’s birthday, I’m heading to a more civilized outing. On this day we walked a few blocks to a restaurant the birthday girl had been wanting to try, Globe Earth (1055 Yonge St.)
Of course we all want to know what the food was like. Read on for a look at 4 of the lunch dishes.
