No, the name of this place doesn't refer to Jennifer Love Hewitt's vajazzled vajayjay. I'm not sure how it got its name but that's just one of the many questions I have about this kooky little deli/falafel shop, like:

German
Neighbourhood: Corktown
This tiny little lunch counter specializing in schnitzel is über-German; kitschy Oktoberfesty German, not disaffected Sprockets German. Five of us went for lunch today and squeezed ourselves onto the four stools while a steady stream of take-out…More »

My MacBook is in the shop. The surrounding air felt like a warm vat of mayo and then it rained buckets. My building shut off the water from 9-5. Today would go down as the suckiest day in history if it weren't for Hank's.

Forget Subway's $5 footlong. The Vietnamese sandwiches here are twice as delicious and they're only $2.25. No, that's not a typo. Each banh mi costs a twoonie and a quarter. No other food offers that much deliciousness for so little coin.

2 shwarmas for $8.99. I had the chicken shwarma and the S.O. had beef. Both were fresh, delicious, and packed with garlic sauce, tahini, pickled turnips and salad.
They're pretty dainty as far as shwarmas go. I was still hungry after I devoured mine…More »
You know all that loose change you have jingling in your pockets?
You could spend it on some trans-fatty processed crap from the convenience store that'll make you feel a little gross after you eat it; or head over to Korea Town for fresh walnut cakes…More »

I love certain things about Canada: universal healthcare, Sidney Crosby, poutine, and Caesars. Is it awful if I admit that peameal bacon is not on the list?
This was my first taste of the unsmoked back bacon, and while I liked the soft Carousel bun…More »

After hearing about how amazing their veal sandwiches are, I was really looking forward to trying one of them today. At 11:20 a.m., there was no line either. Great. right? Ugh. I took a couple of bites and gave up on it.

I went to Bitondo's Pizzeria on a fluke and had my first panzarotti[1]. I'd seen signs for panzarotti at various pizza places in town but I wasn't sure what they were. (Pizza joints in NYC don't have them.) But, dang, it's pretty delish at Bitondo's.…More »
This "chip truck" * was the 3rd stop on the Yelp French Fry Crawl - Part I.
The 1st stop was Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar.
The 2nd stop was Beer Bistro.
That's some big fry shoes to fill.
