Foodists is a collective of like-minded food worshippers. We breathe and sleep in order to eat and drink. Have something to share with us? We'd love to hear from you. If it's something to eat or drink, even better.
For years those of us living in Toronto have watched while other cities across North America have celebrated and grown their vibrant street food scene. We’ve traveled sampling noodles, tamales, fish tacos, pulled pork…

There’s a new dog in town, just in time for the Olympics. For the roving hordes on Granville Street who don’t want slices of pizza, there’s now Dougie Dog. All natural dogs served up in L.A. rockstar…

The biggest bummer about wandering the markets while travelling is not having a kitchen to cook the enticing ingredients in. My eyes sparkled when I saw the lovely innards displayed proudly throughout Mercato Centrale…

A while ago we noticed renovations happening at a local Korean restaurant. It wasn’t a particularly great restaurant, so we were curious if it would improve. We weren’t disappointed. Some of the most…

Pad Thai is one of those dishes that I have tried and tried to recreate, but have rarely had much luck with. Even in restaurants here, it’s usually not that great. You realize this especially if you’ve been…

Postings about the taco quest have dwindled as of late, but the quest continues. In fact, the quest has grown in size as Mexican restaurants seem to multiplying like rabbits around this city. I guess I’m not the…

Three years after moving back to Vancouver from Southern California, I have yet to find a decent taco in this city. Sure, you can go to any Mexican restaurant here and order a taco. But they’re nothing like the…

I may have spoken harshly a little too soon on CBC recently regarding “lame hot dog stands” being the only street meat in Vancouver. On a late night walk recently, Andrea and I discovered an innocuous hot dog…
