Update - 1/26/2010

After my umpteenth visit, I think it's time to bump up BCD to 5 stars. (Cue the trumpets and confetti tossing!)

Flip off, Mother India[1]. Peace out, Gandhi[2]. I got a new favorite roti dive in town and she's sizzling like a pepperpot. Vena's serves up outrageously delicious West-Indian-style roti, and I'm hooked. Here's why:

What's that noise you hear? Oh, that was me grumbling that Gandhi Roti[1], though delicious, is too expensive for a hole-in-the-wall take-out joint that doesn't even have the decency to throw in some free chutney or pickles--or any other freebies…More »

Vietnam Noodle Star, WTF?

Why do you have to be so good and make all the other pho joints in Toronto seem like donkey dick*?

As if you need to have your massive ego inflated even more, lemme tell you why your pho is getting five stars:

When your Vietnamese dry cleaner tells you that Anh Dao is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown, you go ASAP. I went there for lunch with Neil "Vietnamese Food Nazi" T. and he gave it his "White People Don't Eat Here" seal of approval.
