"I have the simplest of tastes, I just like the finer things in life"
I am a busy boy. For my day job I work as an Environmental Biologist and after work I have many activities, including running a small business. I rarely have time to cook and honestly, I am not very good at it. I do enjoy baking though. Therefore, I find myself eating out everyday. In the last five years, I think I have cooked less than 10 meals if you do not include what I have made on the BBQ.

O-toro:
Born in Tokyo, growing up in New York and Toronto i have been fortunate to be exposed to so many different cuisines, with Japanese being a constant at home.
In Toronto my parents ran and owned a Japanese restaurant for some time and had the opportunity to work there and gain first hand knowledge of the tastes and traditions of Japanese cuisine. Leaving my family and living in Vancouver, I am more than happy to enjoy the great selection of dining that this city has to offer. Food is a big part of my life. I love all food, of all cultures. enjoy.

I love food and could easily go out to eat every day. I accredit my love for food to my pops, who has always enjoyed preparing a wide range of cultural meals, and because of that, we were always trying new things. He even let's us pick out recipes for him to make (I love going through cookbooks/magazines - Donna Hay is a favorite); I do consider this lucky and spoiled. I like variety and think that texture and flavour are the two most important aspects of food, followed closely by presentation. I'm not huge on visiting ethnic restaurants, not being a spicy food fan (runny noses, sweaty faces, awkward)...but, Japanese food is one of my favorites. It's hard for me to not order multiple items from a menu, I like to try new things, and prefer to order appetizers, (sometimes a main), as well as dessert; go full out on the eating experience. I mmmmmmm audibly when I like what I'm eating, anyone who's eaten out with me can attest to that. I love that I have fun friends to enjoy meals with. I sometimes have a hard time being brief when it comes to food.

Every new year I resolve to eat at home more, and every year I fail miserably. But now I get to document my shortcomings for all to see.

I was born and bread (yah, pun intended) in Toronto into the quintessential basement kitchen of my Italian grandmother. Every Sunday we would gather around Nonna's table to enjoy what had become normal to us; handmade pasta, well-simmered tomato sauce, braised meats, fresh panini, and of course homemade wine from Nonno's cantina. Now, whether it be over sunday morning dim sum or late night jamaican beef patties, I thrive on breaking bread with friends as I did with my family...buon appetito.

Like you, I am also on a gastronomic adventure of epic purportions!
I am not obsessed about food, I simply adore it with a sweet sweet passion.
I regularly look up cuisines and exotic fruits of all origins on the internets.
You can't know a culture until you've tasted it.
You have a fantastic site, I'm glad to have stumbled upon it while searching for a new place to eat tonight.
Keep up the good work and keep having great eats (O:
Dude. This is awesome!
Much love.

Vancouver Slop is for those moments where you can't decide where to eat.
Settled many lengthy debates.
Great new site!
If you are a food lover you must check out the Steveston Farmers Market. Two Guys With Big Peppers are there with awesome Blackberry Habanero and Cranberry,Sage & Habanero Jams.

Hey Matt!
Just wanted to say it was nice meeting you at the Livestock Block Party, if you don't remember I'm Eugene's best friend. I love this blog mostly because I love going out to eat, haha. Make sure to check out my suggestion of $7 Steak & Prawns Sunday at Loose Moose and maybe one day I will check out Tenhanchi since its right across the street but I'm still weary...
Cheers
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your stylish, sharp, honest food commentary... Will keep scoping out your blog for more reviews.
At last an honest food blog by someone who doesn't own the place!
A job well done in The Food City.
BTW have you checked out the new "factory outlet" in Richmond
www.thepresscafe.ca or the new "sushi mart" on Robson www.sushimart.com I love 'em both !
