Customizing your meal is a trick many health-conscious diners try. But is it a real calorie saver? We sent a regular pizza and a light-toppings version from Lil’ Baci, which has just opened a new midtown location, to the lab to find out.

Venerable Toronto roots-rock outfit The Sadies are hitting the road for a Canadian tour with Neil Young and Crazy Horse, who are touring in support of their phenomenal new Americana album. The bands will be making a stop in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre on Nov. 19, and Los Lobos is also on the bill.
If you’ve been hoping for more shops like the Drake General Store in Toronto, you’re in luck. This Wednesday, the girls behind unisex label Muttonhead (who have also created a name for themselves with some of the best pop-up shops this city has to offer) have pulled together an assortment of Canadian goods in order to set up the Mutts & Co. Variety Store.
La Carnita drove Toronto totally nuts as a pop-up taco shop, and it finally opened a permanent location on College Street earlier this month. Of course, the new restaurant offers more than just tacos (we hear it does a mean mango salad), but with five of them anchoring the menu, plus a rotating special, tacos are certainly the stars of the show. We stopped by to see what they’re like.
The space at 1 Balmoral Avenue has housed a number of different restaurants over the past few years: most notably Terroni, then the short-lived Divino, which closed its doors earlier this month. Now the team behind Rodney’s By Bay is setting up shop there with an upcoming seafood spot to be known as John & Sons Oyster House.

At this year’s New Zealand Wine Fair, I tasted a Gewürztraminer that was absolutely delicious. When I went back to my notes, I found I had tasted it at the same event last year. But the extra time in the bottle had really developed its bouquet. This Marlborough Gewürz exudes aromas of lychee, honeysuckle and rosewater. On the palate, it offers peach and pink grapefruit flavours.
Nothing pleases a polite Canadian more than a touch of subdued, international recognition, kind of like when British brewer Innis & Gunn releases its annual Canada Day beer. This brew is probably more specifically patriotic about our national holiday than any beer from a Canadian brewer. The quid pro quo reason for the special release is that Innis & Gunn is the best-selling bottled British beer in Canada.
If you’re not wearing Canadian on Canada Day this long weekend then, well, you get zero points for patriotism. But if your closet is lacking in the department of maple-certified goods, don’t fret, we’ve found the best possible tank top. It’s red, it’s white and it’s got a dizzy-eyed bear (designed by renowned Canadian artist Geoff McFetridge) smack on the front. How fitting for a party weekend up north, eh?
