What's in an egg?
Good Egg is a shop dedicated to those who like to eat.
We’re found in Toronto’s Kensington Market, a place we highly recommend you visit because it’s where you’ll find us.
Come by for a kid-in-a-candy-shop experience. You’ll be among books and things devoted to the art and culture of food, and some silly stuff too.
Art, eh? Consider this: if food, like sleep, is a basic human need, and we dream while we sleep, should we not dream while we eat? Good Egg thinks so.
We also think that given the many schools of thought on how we should eat, we’d opt to serve the whole hog. Our selection of books reflects every food philosophy.

Special Skills
Around the shop we like to joke about the little things we do that while not quite resume-worthy, ought to be.
Annie can recite le Creuset stats with the precision and speed of a robot, and bakes stellar lemon loaves. Lauren makes friends with every Japanese person she meets. Beth always appears at the right time, and never says the wrong thing. Didi knows the names of many colours. Olivia is a metal master, both music and knives. Saelan and I have yet to meet, and I already owe him money.
I’m no one trick pony. My impressions of Bob Dylan, John Travolta, and Grant van Gameren are gutsy if horrible. When it’s peach season, I can sense the fuzzy fruits are near moments before they hit the shelves. And my greatest skill, the ability to watch cooking shows consecutively for days.
We all bring something to this world. Tonight I grilled a turkey patty and served it on a yeasty whole wheat bun, smeared with roasted cherry tomatoes, caramelized garlic, avocado, and shredded iceberg. I’m putting burger toppings on my list of special skills.
