Blue Donkey Hoofs it to Celebration Square
Mon, 10/31/2011 - 08:20
The street food revolution—as much ballyhooed as stifled in Canada’s largest city—is alive and well in Mississauga. One need only have attended the recent festival devoted to the phenomenon—Food Truck Eats!—or taken a stroll over to the place that hosted it—Celebration Square—to know of the food-on-wheels appeal in this forward-thinking metropolis.
The Blue Donkey Streatery is Mississauga’s most ass-kicking new food truck, a rolling tribute to the increasingly popular concept that’s currently parked at Celebration Square...more
Of Chinese Food and Charity
Wed, 10/05/2011 - 09:28
Egg rolls and Governor Tao made room, last weekend, for Ferraris and car babes, as a local restaurant played host to the Supercars Show Mississauga.
A fleet of exotic dream cars filled up the parking lot of Summit Garden Chinese Cuisine, in an effort by owners Ken Choi and Lawrence Lo to simultaneously indulge their passion for luxury automobiles while raising funds for charity.
Among the coolest wheels on display at this Dundas St. W. and Winston Churchill Blvd., eatery were an orange scissor-doored Lamborghini Murciélago, a lust-worthy Mercedes Benz SLS AMG and a pimped-out Peel Regional Police cruiser that gave onlooker...more
Pizza Hut Delivers
Mon, 08/08/2011 - 12:48
The world’s largest pizza chain, well represented in dough-loving Mississauga, is apparently the best spot to go to get your pie on.
According to Empathica, a customer experience management solutions firm based in our fair burb, Pizza Hut scores the highest customer satisfaction rating there is to be had. The restaurant, they report, really delivers on a number of key customer-service ingredients, including keeping its floors swept and dispatching its flat-box goods in a timely manner.
With this development, Pizza Hut strips last year’s winner, Papa John’s Pizza, of its top-performing crown, but perpetuates its category legacy, with the world’s four largest pizza chains continuing to outpace...more
Turbulent Tides

Although Toronto City Council has suspended any further consideration of a proposed ban on the sale of shark fin in city restaurants until the fall, Toronto’s waters remain churned up about the stuff. Until conditions improve, urbanites fishing for fin might just swim clear of the controversy altogether, and take a trip to the ’burbs.
Indeed, there’s no shortage of opportunities to indulge in this exotic dish—a staple of Chinese wedding banquets and other cultural festivities—in Mississauga, where Chinese restaurants abound and many are longtime purveyors of the fin.
Herewith, some suggestions of where one might score a steaming bowl of this dubious (and pricey!) dish in our town...more
Buffalo Wild Wings Joins Growing Flock
Tue, 06/07/2011 - 10:25
There’s a wing war afoot, and Mississauga’s providing the turf.
The popular American chain, Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar, has just announced plans to feather a new northern nest (its second, since its Oshawa location—the first Buffalo Wild Wings Canadian franchise—launched in mid May) in Meadowvale. The Mississauga restaurant is slated to open in the Highway 401 and Winston Churchill Blvd. area some time in late October or early Nove...more Good Food Party in Mississauga
Thu, 04/28/2011 - 09:42
Just as Prince Andrew and his bride are consummating their passion across the pond, lovers in this neck of the Commonwealth can celebrate their own ardor—for food. Enter the Good Food Festival and Market, a vast tribute to the distinct pleasures of eating that will sprawl across the International Centre (6900 Airport Rd.) on the Royal Wedding weekend.
Running April 29 to May 1, the annual event has lots that’s new for 2011, including live appearances by a clutch of Food Network personalities, more than 150 free cooking classes, and a tasty parade of food and drink freebies. There’s even a contest for the best decorated Royal Wedding cake, for those food-loving monarchists who were excluded from the Wales’ invitation list...more
Coconuts for Raw Aura
Thu, 03/24/2011 - 11:05
Something’s cooking at Raw Aura, a bustling organics restaurant at 95 Lakeshore Rd. E., but it ain’t the food.
This popular vegan eatery has drawn attention recently for its executive chef Douglas McNish’s public enthusiasm for coconut oil, a miracle in liquid form that is arguably the world’s latest and greatest superfood
“Coconut oil is the healthiest fat on the planet,” raves McNish, whose menu is composed solely of raw, sustainably harvested organic ingredients that are never heated above 43C (to retain their digestive enzymes, essential vitamins and mineral content). “Because of its chemical structure, it acts as energy instead of storing, like regular, unhealthy fats.”
Nor surprisingly, McNish employs the stuff liberally at his restaurant....more
Of Jazz, Chicken Wings and Flying High
Mon, 03/14/2011 - 09:48
Take in some tunes, drink back some suds, maybe crane your neck at the big birds taking flight over your head. So goes the recipe for a fine Tuesday night in the mighty Miss, its musical entertainment provided courtesy of the Mississauga Big Band Jazz Ensemble, a rollicking assemblage of spirited musicians that now has a standing date at the Sky Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge, just this side of Pearson International.
Starting February 22, this swinging 18-piece ensemble plays the last Tuesday of every month at Sky, an airport-area staple that has long attracted the traveling business crowd in the market for some roadhouse respite from their red-eye rides. Along with its award-winning chicken wings, the restaurant’s oversized stage is among its finest features...more
Wacky Wings Beat All
Thu, 02/10/2011 - 11:05
Mississauga virtual play enthusiasts with an appetite for enhanced gaming will eat up the news that the Playdium will shortly be outfitted with an adjacent wing joint. The Wacky Wings Eatery, Beverage & Sports Co. will open at the popular entertainment centre, at 1248 Dundas St. E., on February 3.
The restaurant, which currently operates two other locations, both in Sault St. Marie, Ont., plays up its northern roots with a cedar-log-lined interior and custom wooden tables, chairs and bar top. They’re all the product of the labour of six lumberjacks, who traveled to the Sault for 10 weeks to chisel massive hunks of white cedar.
The 16,000-sq.-ft. Mississauga premises, which can house more than 500 fun-lovin’ folks, features a sports bar replete with giant plasma screens and some 65 televisions, a “fun zone” featurin...more
