Renowned chef David Chang — ever heard of him? — has expanded his Momofuku empire to Toronto. Of course, that’s only news to those who have been living under something decidedly stone-like for the past year. The resultant buzz has turned Toronto’s foodsters into a throng of screaming Bieber girls, but is Momofuku going to revolutionize the city’s restaurant scene? Probably not. It already did that several years ago.
What does one wear to one of the biggest fashion face-off parties of the year? Where it’s not a matter of dress code, but a matter of being stylish enough to make it onto the guest list in the first place?
While the Junction has long been cropped out of Hogtown’s nightlife map, 3030 is here to prove that it’s worth a visit. Under prohibition until as late as 2000, the west-end hood is known as a décor-lovers destination. So when Jeff and Jameson Kelly opened their bar this past May, residents let out a collective whoop. Seeking to become more than just a local watering hole, the joint has plenty of tricks up its sleeve: pinball tourneys, brunch, live music and more.
When Apple launches a new product (like the new iPhone 5), we can expect a big hoopla. But, really, nothing beats holding a phone in front of a blank piece of paper. Simple, and to the point.
Quick, tasty and packed with energy, these recipes are perfect for back-to-school mornings

A little while back, we told you that if you aren’t following any Canadian comedians on Twitter, then you really should be. Steve Patrick Adams is one of those people. It’s not because he won Best Stand-Up Newcomer at this year’s Canadian Comedy Awards or that he likes to post pictures of his fat cat. It’s mostly because he’s, well, funny. And he’s on the rise. We chatted to Adams about dinosaurs, his cat Chub Chub, and a man with a peg leg.
Every week, we round up the best events from the city’s fashion scene. In this edition: Comrags and Plaid team up for Fashion’s Night Out, The Narwhal celebrates its second birthday, Fred Falke hits up The Hoxton and more.
One-man-shows have never been my cup of tea. That goes for one-woman-shows as well. Dialogue between two or more characters is such an essential part of live theatre that I find it glaring when it’s missing.
It’s not too often that one hears of a restaurant closing on the Ossington strip these days, but brunch spot Goed Eten has served its last waffle. A message from Goed Eten’s Twitter account announced the closure, and we also confirmed with a former Eten employee. Owner Johan Maes will apparently concentrate his efforts on his other restaurant, Le Petit Dejeuner.
First impressions are important on the first day of school. In the ’60s, kids made sure to wear their best fedoras and striped shirts, and made sure their bicycles were looking super fly. Nowadays, we just call these people hipsters.
Though we reported about TIFF Bell Lightbox’s upcoming exhibit, “Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style,” back in April, TIFF recently announced some extra additions to the Bond bonanza, which kicks off Oct. 26, including three TIFF Cinematheque film programmes. In tribute to the suave spy, we present our favourite not-so-debonair deaths.
