It feels like only yesterday Nyssa joined us for her internship and it’s already her last day. Now to be fair it was an exceptionally short internship, but Nyssa got a lot done. 
So it seems right to finally introduce her to you so you can say goodbye.
Who are you and where are you from?
I am Nyssa Tilford. I am, I guess, from Vancouver. But have been living in Toronto for the last 3 years.
What do you do at Plethora Press?
I post Photo of the Week and see if any of the restaurants have closed down and if they have I do a Red Pen Update. And I’m working on a secret project.
Where is your home town and what is it's signature dish?
My home town is Vancouver and we have the best sushi outside of Japan.
What is your favourite comfort food?
Let’s go with the cliché of ice cream. Cookie Dough or Brownie Bits or Vanilla or Moose Tracks or like very ice cream flavour there is, except Mint Chocolate. I hate Mint Chocolate.
What is your favourite food discovery?
Oh, Peking Duck. The first week I was in Toronto, Jason took me out for Chinese food, with my new group of friends and we had Peking Duck. They roasted the entire duck with the neck and the head, then sliced it in front of us. It was really tasty! Ironically the restaurant we went to is called the Peking Man up on Sheppard.
What cuisine are you looking forward to trying?
I’ve never had Vietnamese. I’ve never had Ethiopian. I’m pretty much up for anything.
What is your favourite CheapEat in Vancouver and why?
There’s a restaurant in North Vancouver called Tomahawk, my parents used to take me there for breakfast. It would just fit into CheapEats but it’s really good food and one of the best Eggs Benedicts I’ve ever had.
White Spot! I miss White Spot. I love White Spot. They are famous for burgers and fries. They originally started as a diner chain. But my favourite thing on the menu is a beef dip with a caesar salad. It’s SO good.
Thanks Nyssa. It’s been a great month having you in the office, have a great time at Waterloo!
