- Whip it bad: <strong>whipped animal fat in lieu of butter</strong>—pork at Keriwa, duck at Yours Truly— is admirable in its nose-to-tail intentions, but it coats our mouths with gamey grease. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/from-the-print-edition-daily-dish/2012/03/29/where-to-eat-now-2012-trends-we-love-hate-vote/#poll6"><img src="http://media.torontolife.com/img/features/bestnew2012/TLWheretoEat2012_vote.png" width="272" height="81" alt="POLL: VOTE ON THIS TREND" border="0"/></a><br />
