I am 11 years old, I live in Toronto with my mom, dad, little sister and little brother and I like eating. I have good taste (no pun intended) and in my quest to eat healthy, organic, local and nut-free foods, I rate and review!
I started this blog reviewing restaurants I go to with my family. Now, I am reviewing everything from restaurants, products, people and markets – in writing and video.
We eat local, organic, healthy and nut-free foods. If you have a restaurant or place that you would like me to review, please email me at rystorm@gmail.com and I’ll check it out. I am not your average 11 year old eater, so, please do not suggest McDonald’s, because I would rather starve than go there!
(I started this blog when I was 8 and I don’t have much time to write, but will post as many reviews as I can, send me an email or tweet if you have a question)
Take a look at My videoBIO!

I don’t drink milk Chef Gigi – just brown rice milk at home. But, I wouldn’t buy or knowingly put hormone and antibiotics and chemicals into my body!

Amazing blog Ryan! Have you tried the burger at The Rosedale Diner? You must go! Organic, grass-fed, hormone-free….comes in a pita. They have a bison option too. It’s’ definitely a more pricey burger, but totally worth it. Check it out!

Hi Ryan,
Love your blog! Have you tried the burgers at The Rosedale Diner? My favourite! Organic, grass-fed, hormone-free. They come in a pita. Amazing with goat cheese! A bit pricier than other burgers, but totally worthwhile. Check it out!

I haven’t tried them in a few years but maybe I’ll go and try them again because you suggested.

I love you! Please call me at 967-11-11. Just kidding, Pizza Pizza is so lame! I would rather eat Silver Hills Squirrelly Bread with some Kozlik Mustard (Tarragon 4) than eat there!
March 20th, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Ryan, make more videos. Your voice sounds so smooth, its like eating fresh Silver Hills Squirrely Bread with Kozlik Mustard (Tarragon 4). P.S. Being vegan organic is awesome!

Hey Ryan! I gotta say, I’m really impressed that an 11 year old kid could write a blog like this, reviewing organic nut-free foods! Awesome job! While I was test tasting in the GTA, I found this great organic farm which was absolutely delicious! It also has really exotic looking vegetables that I had never seen. (Sadly) I forgot the name of the farm, but I can drive back there to check what the name of it was (and eat until I burst).
Anyways, keep up the good work!
SIncerely,
Melvin
April 15th, 2012 at 6:52 PM
Thanks Melvin! Please let me know what the name of that farm was and where you visited it!

Hey Ryan,
You are such a little cutie!
I could just eat you up… If you were organic and all

Hello there, Ryan.
It appears that kid as young as 11 actually DO care about not stuffing chemicals into their body. I find this FANTASTIC! I own a restaurant in Toronto, which is completely nut free and organic. The address is 2328 Danforth Avenue. If you want to come down (might be a bit of a hassle), I can give you some free tastes of some of our dishes! Your parents or you can also access me via phone at 416-484-0654.
Keep up the blog, and keep eating!
Sincerely as ever,
Lorenzo
April 17th, 2012 at 7:08 PM
Thank you so much Chef Lorenzo! I would love to come to your restaurant, but please can you give me the name and website? I look forward to reviewing your place. We come to the Danforth all of the time, and so excited that there is another place we can eat at!
Ryan

Hey Ryan,
I’ve been to Lorenzo’s place and his restaurant is Amazing!
the restaurant is kind of hidden at the back of the building called Blue River House!
I don’t know name or the website but hope I helped!
(You are such a cutie pie! :))
