I was here twice within 24 hours, both times chosen by friends.

The first, for the Decemburger grand finale. At 7pm on a Friday the place was slammed with customers but even without a reservation (yes, you can make reservations here) I didn't have to…More »

GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE ALERT!

Yep, it's true. The grilled cheese sandwich at Disgraceland qualifies as a gourmet and is currently the top contender in my quest for Toronto's ultimate grilled cheese sandwich - even though it had three types of cheese…More »

The arugula and radish salad I had today was a touch uninspired (c'mon, throw in some pumpkin seeds or other crunchies to mix it up) but the crostini and cream cheese on the side livened up the mood a little.

Oh Sneak's, my trusty and reliable old pal!

Every mischief-making night out should conclude with a default visit to Sneaky Dee's, and it usually does. There really isn't anything not to love about this place.

The server turnover is low - you'll always…More »

For the first time possibly ever, I visited Lakeview at a reasonable hour instead of in the middle of the night. I think it might have been 7pm? I was toggling between about five different menu items but finally settled on the o' standard - premium…More »

The Gladstone Hotel is divided into three funhouses - one is the hotel itself, which few Toronto natives will really know about, another is the ballroom café to the left of the lobby, which serves brunch, lunch and dinner and then hosts DJ nights,…More »

Busy, busy! On a Saturday around noon, Morning Glory was slammed with hungry diners and the staff was visibly frazzled. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich ($6) made with cheddar, gruyere and havarti and sliced tomatoes plus a side of rosti ($2).…More »

This is my new "go to" recommendation for birthdays and celebrations of all sorts. The house is actually a mansion and surprises abound at every corner. The patio is amply sized, plus there are two semi-private, 30-person capacity rooms on the first…More »

Probably my favourite sweet potato fries in the city. They're extremely thick cut - think one whole sweet potato sliced lengthwise into maybe four shards - and deliciously spiced with cinnamon, cumin, maybe cloves? They come with sour cream and also…More »

As you approach Leslieville Cheese Market, ignore the degenerates loafing next door at K&S Restaurant. The zombies are always around but thankfully they don't like cheese (or just can't afford it), so you can browse the store in peace as they clutter…More »

The food here was shockingly good. My grilled cheese with fries (only $8.95) was scrumptious - the aged cheddar, Monterey Jack and Swiss cheeses were deadly sharp and perfectly melted. This is not for fans of dull, processed cheese - this cheese has…More »
