    Firstly, let me say the following sentence is completely my opinion and is not bound to any fact or research at all.  This place must be a mob front.  It has to be.  Without question.  Why?  There is absolutely no way that they can serve up the food that they do, in the enormous portions that they are, and turn any sort of profit.

    When you're working for the theatre and you're on a small dime, you look for any sort of discounts that you can.  Zoupy's became a place that you'd go to gorge.  A true to form deli, it appears to be family owned and you've got mom's behind the counter that do NOT want you to go hungry.  Ordering a smoked meat sandwich, though tasty, could for the more modest appetite be split with a person.  This is especially true if you are to get a side of fries that comes out like a side-of-beef-of-fries.  Read "big".

    The food is extremely tasty and they have daily specials that are always big on size and flavour.  Do yourself this favour.  Even if you're going to eat the food there, get it to go.  That way you can at least when you realize that the eyes-stomach ratio is not going in your favour, pack up the spoils and take it home with you.

    Ordering any kind of sandwich from Zoulpy's is sure to give you the case of your eyes being bigger than your belly.  The portions are ridiculous, especially for sammies like corn beef or roast beef - a HUGE pile of endless meat.  When asked "are you having anything with your sandwich?" you can easily reply with "a loaf of bread, please!"

    Their chicken salad is by far the best I've ever tried.  My perfect hangover cure, in fact, is a Zoulpy's chicken salad sammie and chocolate milk.  Comforting, and delicious!

    Their soups and specials of the day always sell out fast, so be sure to get  there early.  There's always a lunchtime rush around 11:30am-2pm, of business men and woman eagerly lined up to place their orders.

    Pricing is fair, especially for the large heaps of food you are served.  

    Zoulpy's have recently been taken over by new management, so some of the favorite characters who were working behind the counter (forever, probably) are no longer there.  Sad.  

    If you're hungry, definitely go here.  If you finish your meal, you are a champ!

    I HEART ZOULPY!

    This place is a happy place. A lovely, friendly, busy emporium of diner delights and greasy spoons. You'll fall in love with the owner and staff as soon as you approach the counter.

    They'll make you whatever you want. The menu is posted above the grill and the specials updated daily on the blackboard. Their homemade soups are delicious and make you feel like you just came home after tobogganing with your older brother. Hearty. Warm. Savoury...

    Zoulpy's will get some badass lineups during business day lunch hours, but it's worth the wait if you've got the time. It's also the perfect spot for a hangover-cure brekkie where the coffee's hot and there's always a newspaper lying around. And hey- you can have a beer with that too!
