By Melissa Arditti (WINDSOR, ON) – Reputation is important especially when it comes to restaurants. Although everyone has their personal tastes, there does seem to be a consensus in the food realm when an establishment is absolutely fabulous or demonstrably awful.

By Robert K. Stephen (CSW) (TORONTO, ON0 – The news article posted on the bulletin board at the Mystic Muffin reports an $11 million dollar hashish seizure in Spain. Given the name of this place and the prominence of a hashish seizure article I am beginning to wonder if there is some meaning to “Mystic” [...]
By Melissa Arditti (WINDSOR, ON) – Sometimes a meal cannot be complete without dessert. When you arrive at a family owned and operated restaurant like Tunnel Bar-B-Q here in Windsor, that has been in business for over 70 years, there is a reason why you keep coming back.

It is ultra-modern and lean, but unfortunately looking a bit like it’s been slapped [...]
By Robert Stephen (CHICAGO, IL) – I have a pal from New York, Mr. G, who has recently described, in a string of animated e-mails, his dining experiences in Paris for the past week.
