Neighbourhood: Downtown

5.0 star rating

It's a hotdog. A simple and humble hotdog.

Miso for mustard, bonito flakes for relish. Terimayo, oroshi, okonomi, tonkatsu. Ah, such simple concept done so well - now that is a beautiful thing.

3.0 star rating
  Update - 4/4/2012

An update:

After reading my review, the owner of Bada Bing contacted me to give them another shot. Though the offer of a free sandwich was tempting, I can't eat the wheat (as I mentioned in my first review), so I once again opted for the bowl.

Now,…More »

Why is it when people are describing gluten-free options they say things like, "yeah, it's pretty good... you know, for gluten free pizza." Oh man, where can I get me some of that not-as-good-as-the-real-thing product?? Sounds fab! Fortunately for…More »

Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant

3.0 star rating
  Update - 9/27/2011

What on earth happened here?? What used to be the only place to get a decent falafel in town has transformed into a falafel plus shwarma joint. Apparently multitasking isn't their strong suit because not only is the staff miserable (and new -- who is…More »

Sweat dripping from my pores, the flush of red that fills my cheeks, the extra seven levels of spice that translates into an entirely new flavour, the satisfaction of knowing I made it through the entire dish without flinching - I adore spicy food.

You go, you order some fish, you sit by the water, you watch tourists decide on which fish they may wish, you enjoy your ish of fish.

Fresh fish, crisp chips, chilly-day chowder, sesame oil in the coleslaw? Yum.

And repeat.

Chimichurri! Chimichurri! Chimichurri! Chimichurri! Chimichurri! I'd go here errday just for their homemade Chimichurri (because, naturally, I eat an ENTIRE JAR of the stuff in one sitting). Yes, they've got empanadas, but as a glutard (real word,…More »

I'll admit to being slightly biased when it comes to rice bowls. I pretty much live on them at home, so I know a thing or three when it comes to their ingredients and preparation (which, by the way, are both minimal). I mean, how much easier and more…More »

Well hell. Japa Dog got itself a real live sit-down restaurant. Now, I love Japa Dog. I love that they do miso for mustard, bonito flakes for relish. I love each and every single one of their dogs: terimayo, oroshi, okonomi, tonkatsu -- gimme aaaaall…More »
