Meat dreams are made of these.....I think this was Annie's original intent on these lyrics. I believe that the reason they were changed was some angry vegetarian stepped in with a broccoli wand and stopped the masterpiece. Who then would preach the…More »

Teddy's is an Oshawa staple.

When my friends and I get a chance to catch up in the shwa, this is usually the first place of recommendation that everyone screams out.

What is so special about Teddy's?
- great veal
- great fries and gravy
- their house…More »

Damn, damn, damn. This place is fantastic.

One of the better qualities of the dirty shwa is the eastern European representation going on. It is not as strong as when I was a kid growing up in sha-wiggity, but some of the lingering elements are still…More »

My third review in a row of an Oshawa spot south of the 401...aka the south shwa....the nasty part....

This place opens before dawn.  Everything here - amazing.  I have yet to have something from this place that doesn't knock my socks off.

As I was visiting my parents to get my snow tires put on, I wanted to up my Decemburger ante so I stepped into Mr A's.

I had Mr A's house burger. It had Mr A's bbq sauce, peameal bacon, mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and relish. Oh wow...what…More »

Lets face it, Tim Hortons sucks.

So, why write a review?

Cause this is the sketchiest Tim Hortons that there is in Oshawa, and that is saying something.

Why am I a fan.  The people watching, of course!

You want to see a large selection of smokers, go…More »

I have been going to Donn for over 10 years and I completely trust him.  I go in, and let him do whatever he wants.  Donn is a master with his…More »

Another Oshawa staple.

Another Oshawa business south of the 401.

This place is so close to GM, that they have a GM burger. There is not an inch of wall space in here that is not covered in a license plate, or some piece of Elvis memorabilia.  

There…More »

White Feather's is a great place to stop at if you are heading north of Oshawa into Port Perry for some small town shopping or gambling.

There is a little cafe inside where you can get sandwiches and fresh baked goods.  Everything from breads to…More »
