Woohoo, my first restaurant review is posted on blogTO.com this morning! Please do visit, and feel free to comment there if you like the post. :-) The restaurant I wrote about: Chai on Bayview Avenue, one of Jeff's and my favourite brunch spots.

As I've mentioned before, I've been hired by blogTO for their Books/Lit and Food sections. blogTO is a Web site about Toronto culture including the arts, music, film, fashion and food. I did ask if I could post about music as well, but apparently they have more than enough music bloggers. :-)

For the Books/Lit section, I'll be interviewing Toronto authors, editors, publishers, specialty printers as well as profiling bookstores in the city. If you know of a person or place in Toronto you think should be interviewed or profiled, please do let me know. I'm mainly looking for people or places who haven't already been profiled a zillion times before, more independent / small business than mainstream.

For the record, my policy re: restaurant reviews is going to be the following: I'm only going to review restaurants I like. This doesn't mean I won't have some minor negative comments sometimes, but with so many small restaurants struggling to keep afloat, I see no point in bashing one publicly. I'd rather use the space (and my time) to promote restaurants that deserve to be promoted.

I had a WONDERFUL time at the Dust Poets concert at The Stream
in Orangeville, by the way. More details in an upcoming Blathering.
