The Breakfast Guyz, the popular new diner in Windsor, Essex County is definitely a go to place if you are looking for amazing food.

They are known for their amazing breakfasts, but they also offer great lunch and dinners.

What is great about The Breakfast Guyz is their wide variety of food, including vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten free. A little something for everyone.

We order takeout at least once a week and love to go there when we can to soak up the atmosphere. The staff welcome you like family, and it’s just such a nice relaxing, happy place to enjoy a nice mimosa with your eggs benedict chicken and waffles!

WindsorEats Food Hall is definitely a hidden gem in the Windsor, Essex County area.

They are known for amazing margaritas & local alcohol/brews, but you stay for the fabulous food trucks that are parked there and chill time with friends. You can also rent WindsorEats for events! And wow, they go all out for you.

I, myself go there weekly for a nice relaxing time with my husband and dog (yes they are pet friendly and encourage you to bring them). The outdoor patio is a great space to unwind. And when the winter comes? You can sit outside with nice warming tables or cozy up indoors with specialty hot chocolates and s’mores. This really is a great place for the whole family to enjoy.

If you haven’t heard about WindsorEats you need to get down to 400 Erie Street East in Windsor, Ontario.

For more information, you can find them at:

I talked with CJ Erwin who is a local comedian but also runs Windsor Laughs Comedy Club.

Windsor Laughs brings stand-up comedians from across North America to Windsor/Essex County. Not only are they bringing comedy back to The Tipsy Toucan on Ottawa Street in Windsor, but to other venues.

CJ and Windsor Laughs bring not only established headliners but also new comers in the comedy industry to shine. I am so happy that comedy of all forms are making a comeback in our part of Ontario and appreciate CJ for giving us a glimpse into the comedy world.
