Editor

Katie Bridges is a cheese-loving, tea-guzzling Brit who has spent the past decade making Toronto her home. As the editor of foodism, she’s always on the hunt for the latest food trends — from the ongoing Toronto pizza debate to tracking down an olive truly worthy of her martini.

She lives in Toronto’s east end, where she’s rarely far from a new cocktail opening, dim sum destination, or a standing reservation for a classic Sunday roast. A firm believer that a good hotel bar can fix almost anything, she’s always scouting the next place worth lingering over a drink.

At home, she channels that same curiosity behind the bar, experimenting with local liqueurs and perfecting the classics. Equal parts neighbourhood regular and enthusiastic Toronto explorer, she’s drawn to the standout flavours and one-of-a-kind experiences that make everyday city life feel a little more special.
