I tried burgers from these 3 major Canadian fast-food chains and there's a clear worst

Nothing quite hits like a fast-food burger. While there's definitely better quality out there, it's somewhat nostalgic to pull up to a drive-thru and get a burger that you just know will satisfy that craving without breaking the bank.

I tried McDonald's in the US to see how it compares to Canada and the winner was SO clear

There's something about being paid to eat 10,000 calories in a McDonald's parking lot that makes a girl pause, look around, and think, "Wow. I made it."

McDonald's is supposed to be one of life’s great constants. No matter what country you're in (unless it's Antarctica), those golden arches are meant to deliver the same experience every time.

I ranked hot chocolate from Canada's biggest coffee chains to find the best (and worst)

As the cold snap settles in and the holidays draw closer, is there anything more comforting, or more festive, than wrapping your hands around a rich, steaming hot chocolate?

I love my coffee and tea, but hot chocolate hits differently. It warms you from the inside out, in every sense of the phrase.
