4/25/2010

The UYE to shop at Bulk Barn[1] marked my first visit to the largest bulk food retailer of The Great White North. Like everyone else at the UYE, your head probably just exploded and you're asking, "You've never been to a Bulk Barn??" Well, I grew up…More »

1/19/2010

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 »

At a previous Yelp event, the locals were talking about using their "Canadian Tire money" and I was like, "Huh? What's that??" I'd never been inside Canadian Tire because I honestly thought it was a store for car parts. And I thought Canadian Tire…More »

Canada
(416) 703-4865

Categories: Women's Clothing, Men's Clothing

8/26/2009

I'm shocked that Joe Fresh hasn't invaded the States yet. Their clothes are cuter than the Gap's and about half the price. And I'm not worried that they're going to disintegrate in the wash like H&M's threads.

Category: Canadian (Traditional)

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

"OMG! Mr. Greenjeans! I used to come here all the time for burgers," said the S.O. I'd never heard of Mr. Greenjeans but we stopped in for lunch so that the S.O. could have some kind of Proustian moment with a bun-encased beef patty.

8/27/2009

I was in the area and needed a quick take-away meal before my famished state led me to chomp on my own hand. The only other options on the street were: Mr. Sub, Subway, and Quiznos. I wasn't in the mood for a sandwich. I settled on Swiss Chalet.
