Brunch is one of my favorite things! You eat yummy breakfast food on a Sunday when you finally get your lazy ass up, preferably in good company, with lots of coffee, paper and crossword puzzles optional. So, I've decided to write a review on every place I've been to - also because I get to combine my love of writing and food. Now Toronto-Brunch is GoodFoodToronto as my love of food has been extended to include my eating adventures all day all the time anywhere!

1 large dark chocolate truffle, or 3 pieces of your favorite chocolate
1 tbsp peanut butter or other nut butter
