Despite the name, you won't find Chairman Kaga waxing glorious fables about foodstuffs here. You will however see talented chefs spin knives, flip vegetables, and grill your dinner with flair (and flames!) right before your eyes. The Teppanyaki table…More »

Not really the best diner in Port Credit. The Satellite is a perfectly round establishment a stone's throw from the Clarkson GO station. Being attracted to perfectly round things, I had no choice but to spin the car round (right round baby, right…More »

Just for fun, let's pretend that you, gentle reader, have never set foot inside a Walmart Supercentre. Let me set the scene. Since we're obviously in the 'burbs you must first manoevre your SUV or minivan into a parking lot that can only be measured…More »

Came here to celebrate Year of the Rabbit with a dozen peeps roughly split between Asian and gwai lo. Our hosts were regulars so the service was pretty solid and attentive. The food on the other hand was a hit and miss. Just for fun, let me enumerate…More »

In my previous life of coordinating medium-sized construction projects (it wasn't always Yelpsticks and FUCing for this guy), I got to know Square One intimately. I would visit the mall often and got to access its strange nooks and crannies, hidden…More »

Finally got a chance to visit the long-bookmarked Leela's Roti and Doubles while I was doing some penance in 'sauga. Located in a plaza near Erindale GO Station, there was a queue of hungry patrons when I got there, and the delicious aroma of West…More »

  7/5/2011 First to Review

It was the promise of $3.50 breakfasts that lured me into this curiously-named joint across from the Sheridan Mall on Erin Mills Parkway. Sharing a plaza with Swiss Chalet, Chef At Your Hands is an all-day-breakfast spot that also features weekend…More »

I visited here with my immediate family and grandparents who are visiting from India. The GPs were immediately taken by the name, wondering what the liberation from samsara and attaining moksha had to do with buffets. "Canadians throw around these…More »

Category: Parks

4.0 star rating
  7/9/2011

In a city that is known for its four-lane swaths of asphalt slicing up the city, copy-paste subdivisions, gel-topped guys who say "safe," gargantuan shopping malls, a mayor as old as time itself, and one-hour bus rides on MT (no matter what the…More »

You like mashups? Crank up the Girl Talk and shuffle into Country Style Bistro Deli. You got yer coffee, yer breakfast sandwiches, subs, wraps, salads, dough-nuts of course, and a TCBY for good measure.

CSBD is situated in the parking lot of a plaza…More »

Via satellite the industrial parks near Dundas and Hwy 403 resemble a featureless grey morass. George Orwell no doubt envisioned these sort of drab units when pondering the future. But unlike 1984, there is White Gold at the end of the dystopian…More »

Not a bad little Longo's. And by "little" I do mean "absurdly large." I don't have much to say on the grocery portion, but we did stop in to try their freshly-made pizza. The pizzas are reasonably priced, if lacking a bit in variety. Two of the…More »
