My MacBook is in the shop. The surrounding air felt like a warm vat of mayo and then it rained buckets. My building shut off the water from 9-5. Today would go down as the suckiest day in history if it weren't for Hank's.

Darnit. The secret seems to be out on this place. In past months, I was the only person there around dinnertime but yesterday, the joint was "swimming" (tee hee) with customers!
They've opened their patio which allows a few more patrons to sit and…More »

I have a certain contrary nature that makes me disagree with you just cuz. 4 out of 5 dentists recommend chewing Trident? I'd be that one dissenting dentist just to screw with the figures. Yes. I'm THAT person.

Forget Subway's $5 footlong. The Vietnamese sandwiches here are twice as delicious and they're only $2.25. No, that's not a typo. Each banh mi costs a twoonie and a quarter. No other food offers that much deliciousness for so little coin.

My new fave combo: strawberries, mango, and pomegranate seeds on the original frozen yogurt. ^FLUV^
Toppings were still fresh even when it was nearing closing time.

Hallelujah! I FINALLY FOUND IT! The frozen yogurt that launched the Red Mango and Pinkberry craze in the States. (Google it.) The Canadian incarnation goes by the name Yogoberri and I discovered it inside a tiny Korean bakery along Bloor Street's…More »
This "chip truck" * was the 3rd stop on the Yelp French Fry Crawl - Part I.
The 1st stop was Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar.
The 2nd stop was Beer Bistro.
That's some big fry shoes to fill.
Luckily, Mr. Tasty Fries has huge feet. (And you know what THAT means.)…More »

2 shwarmas for $8.99. I had the chicken shwarma and the S.O. had beef. Both were fresh, delicious, and packed with garlic sauce, tahini, pickled turnips and salad.
They're pretty dainty as far as shwarmas go. I was still hungry after I devoured mine…More »

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:
