perk up the taste with some onion and peppers - why
not!! Some Pubs we've seen around have
a beautiful selection of the best songs picked
for jukebox
playing with a modern machine that offers a huge number of such great
songs
from
the 70s (bee gees, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Yvonne Elliman, and tons
more) and with
the best songs from Van Morrison
("Someone like you" / "Have I told
you lately") Christopher
Cross (Arthurs
theme, Ride like the wind), Leann
rimes, ("Cant
fight the moonlight" - discounted
price, plus "Wasted days and
wasted nights") Jackie Evancho, Andy Gibb (even played a George
strait song - "Amarillo by mornin!" - nice
country selections equally!) You might even blow a twenty
on a
jukebox in that case,
and not live to regret it as it gives a shot in the arm our planet hasn't
had
for just too
bloody long now I say - time to end the abuse with bullshit
so-called music we are
subjected to in a bid to make for stupid applied ideations of so-called "equality" in
such regard as human sanity of actual objective merit historically speaking
as applied to music tastes
and what have you - for gods sakes I submit with care!
Jackie Evancho's best song performances
of traditional great songs were included in
what we found around, - except my most favourite "imaginer" -
although not a song
as well known here - check it out at my music appreciation and download site here:
http://musicfromrizzo.com (Greek dining community section of
Toronto
is in Danforth Avenue - east of Broadview)
BEST DAILY FOOD idea PICK
Souvlaki wrap - chicken or beef our Top favourite daily lunch
pick
(along with Italian or Octoberfest
sausage on a bun - alternatingly
between sausage and good
Souvlaki)!
Souvlaki
should be served with moist,
fresh prepared tender
tasting grilled meat, plus generous on tzatziki as we found it
to be here. Mondays are for vacationing seeming at some places (closed
mondays) aw
(on danforth avenue near chester subway station)
Lotsa fresh sliced firm quality tomato and onion slices with loads of tzatziki
Taste of the danforth festival 2023 hi-lights
Sausage vendor located additionally directly across from the rogers
flagship downtown store at the atrium on bay (next to eaton centre)
Seemingly keeping with some weird idea of a s0-called "Just society"
idea coined by his father - the former PM Pierre trudeau, young Justin
Trudeau seems hell bent on dope joints replacing all former starbucks
locations perhaps, while saying NO to a single bottle of molsons Canadian
beer or johnnys mini 200ml sherry at your more favourite sausage vendor
stand. now how much sanity is there in that either I say of this trudeau era
regime
My favourite drink pick here is johnny bootlegger grape
(sherry style offering 11.8%
alc content) Love molsons
beer on-tap only - ice cold!! (wherever theres an Irish pub
suitably staffed with a friendly waitress who knows our
own such music and isn't shy to have it heard on the jukebox
etc)
(recent price at metro grocers)
Should be sold in singles or by the pack
anywhere a person of legal driving age
might be able to do so. refreshment
stands including movie theaters and
parks and street cart vendors plus
every convenience store. dope joints
should be outlawed still and remain so
instead.
Best found Burger joint place here,
for
a reasonably
just $11.99
deal
(plus tax- complete combo!!) (Halal available) great decor - king st/seating to enjoy your
night
out or daily lunch here!
Side table for mayo, ketchup plus other added fixins. Nice fountain drink albeit
in plastic cup
Highlander burger combo special - also available at the danforth location
cheese included along with great tasting too homecut fries plus cold pop
The best tasting drink wherever liquor is to be found
to be had - smirnoff - I even then prefer port wine if
available though!
available by the whole case too on
amazon.com
- cheap to get stocked
up on now for parties etc!!
Rabba's sherbourne ave location on front
street. Other variations (cherry version, chocolate
swirl etc just a tad bit more, $2.99 plus tax)
A favourite meal gathering idea for all lovers
of sausage meats as (staple) basic food culturally! and why not souvlaki too, equally we say!!
Family treat take-out available cheap at select supermarkets-
shop around to see whos got the best BBQ taste and reasonable price
seasoned appropriately for taste, adding some
cilantro etc in too, "shish/seekh kababs" (beef skewers)
have made it into western (bbq idea) recipe books
equally it would appear) yum! (sliced spanish onion
and firm, yet ripe, red tomato slices too on the side)
plus hot
sauce! (tabasco etc)
Lovely idea for steak bites in garlic sauce
as an appetizer or main course with a side
perhaps such as pasta or french fried potato

Have lots of grilled bell pepper slices with
lightly fried onion slices
The "Roy Public House Pub" at queen street east at
logan avenue (just next door the td bank branch)
has butter chicken curries on the menu as
"east ender" curry. Stick to the mild version here! (mouth on fire having tried their "spicy" version years
back) otherwise quite a nice enuf pick on the menu here.
Need

tasting

of toronto
Does your shopping centre food court have a
"bourbon street grill" outlet
as of yet? why not press for one if not already so.
A two meat one veggie along with rice or noodle combo at
Bourbon street grill at Eaton Centre (best taste and value
of any competing such offerings out there) is $12.50 plus tax
(just add bbq sauce as shown to the rice) the food otherwise
has lots of flavour and with nicely done tasty sauce in too
(Bourbon Street Grill - eton centre) Lousiana style cajun
foods along with sweet-sour type offerings from abroad.
A family size container offering of this tasty treat goes
for just a twenty dollar bill (tax included) at gerrard
square
food court as an outlet there offers similar menu
items
here too.
by the slice or by the pound - look for the sign with
reasonable price showing wherever it's to be found
Montreal smoked meat, corned beef & pastrami sandwiches (avec dijon)
The hi-light of my sojourn to the area of Toronto known as "little Italy"
was the discovery of this great western style bar with such nice food as:
Fantastic looking burger and fried potato dish - on my way home I also
went past a familiar looking large church structure of the main Ukrainian
church with this sign posted outside:
$14.69 full combo meal as
shown
If you love perogies like a few people I know
or want the taste of ukrainian sausage we
have travelled for these years past, try them
at http://heavenlyperogy.ca or maybe even
drop in and purchase at this church hall.
I never missed "Taste of the danforth"
over some years now (Greek festival
with lotsa reasonably priced tasty
souvlaki - shows generous community
spirit too however it was cancelled due
to red tape when previous mayor tory
was in his "lame period" of term in office
Italian
style grilled cheese -
that's the way its unbeatable!!
Generously filled wrap
- Italian style!!
Top idea too for quick lunch - sausage on a bun/croissant!!
My most fav quick
food too
by
far!! (a "good souvlaki" is next)
forget bagels - croissants are a more
tasteful idea!!
located on Queen street at Logan somewhat across from TD
(Served fresh from a warmer in foiled warp - ideal too for theaters
and airport counters at bulk discount from here) (Honey Garlic)
Served with carmelized onions and dijon mustard
The best tasting sliced meats (pckgd) are shown below:
Thai Chili chicken breast plus Kolbassa loaf. Check around!! at
"food basics" mainly
(Italian
fare)
Thick sliced meats are even more satisfying!
enjoy hot or mild (regular) flavour
Kobassa (the real stuff as offered by brands like
Brandt mainly plus maybe Pillers too) is the best
tasting such
great quality sausage meat to be found.
Brandt (my fav)
also offers a spicy version with
multicultural
appeal as it were, while both have
ham or turkey
options for kobassa - tasting similar
yet allowing
for non pork preferrers to enjoy kobassa
equally!!
Halenda brand seemed to taste more like plain
polish
sausage
rather than true polish etc kobassa. plain
"Polish sausage" also offered
by brandt and Pillers is
not as good a taste as kobassa version
shown here in
the brand names (brandt mainly) mentioned and similar
quality where it is to be found equally that is.
Aroma espresso bar offerings:
shown below is my fav way to see such a breakfast served
- even has gourmet toasted rye bread option and generous
cuts
of ham slices (lovely sausage if you prefer - or even bacon)
back bacon is a much better way to go over strip bacon
for breakfast sandwich offerings by the way, and ham
should always be an option to replace bacon for a side
offering with breakfast - eggs benedict style is tops!!
Tim's more recently had a mini breakfast sandwich
with back bacon instead. $2.99 Now thats more like it!
French style eggs benedict servings out there! yah!
Paddington's Restaurant and Pub at
St Lawrence Market - by the main entrance

Nice service along the way. Seemingly Italian owned too - ciao folks.
If you are in cabbagetown - visiting or whatever , breakfast at Johnny G's
begins at 7AM - $10.50 as shown coffee not included - soft drink options
available instead too. (Four thin sliced ham or 4 sausage or 4 bacon strips
choices - why not get soft bacon if you prefer bacon for a change)
(daily offerings now also include Indo/Pakistani lunch/dinner fare)
(Popular Owner Terry Papas pictured) famous quote
by terry:

just down the street at the metro deli $5.50 fer crissakes
gets you a full pack for your own cafe/ family treat.
why not offer fresh butter tarts sold in packs too around
in stores, and cheaply so.
especially delicious and tender
tasting made -
(not overdone)
plus lots of curry mash potato
filling plus meats. somewhat similarly available
at
esthers soups and more (cumberland terrace)
(Yonge and bloor - west side across from
library) (not nearly as good as at Rusi's however)
prev Sri-lankan popular offering we should adopt
into mainstream I say!
Ikea diner is a place for a snack
or meal while shopping the best in furniture
ideas in certain niche categories that put to
complete shame any competitive ideas we've seen
around otherwise locally in the same category
or price bracket. Plus dishware and lots more.
Our lovely Italian print shown on our tourism
page is something I picked up from Ikea 20 years
ago now. My how time flies. Yet quality ideas endure!!
Fantastic quality complete handyman compact tool
sets (full size basic tools everyone should own
great christmas idea fer shure!!) these can be
a lifesaver when in need. Most of my furniture items
are in fact top model picks from IKea in key areas
such as bedroom.
nicest quality toolkit
gift idea from ikea!!
check out the French onion soup as a great food option at your local bar
I prefer creamy thai soup (metro, longos jefferson loction etc freshly
prepared) for
the nuisance of cutting through that gooey cheese now. oh well
Half price calamari special here on wednesdays!! wow!!
seasoned, cooked tender baby potato - yum!

Supremely great steak

She deserves this much at least - make it

Red Lobster Restaurants
Many locations throughout Canada

truly great Steak and lobster served

(love the long Island Iced Tea served here - have it every time,
from
the bar! - $9)
Gotta keep the place goin for the great
decor

Come in on mondays for the fantastic endless shrimp deal!!
$5.99 wine special
- fridays
maybe try too the (mainly broth) lobster bisque
Also, Complimentary fresh made english
biscuits served while your lunch
is prepared
The maritime lobster should be ordered broiled, and served with melted
butter for best taste (not boiled/steamed). steak only best when grilled over a fire.
these gift cards are each a great ideaFree refills on pop or GREAT (under $4)
lemonade
here too (as available)
flavours - regular, strawberry or peach with your meal!
Red Lobster Fish and chips deal (reasonably priced too - for
everytime)
(get mayo mixed in on that cole slaw!)

Remember to give a kings ransom of a generous tip here too, especially!
For the sanest of spirited women loving men, whosoever would dare say "all is lost here??" NEVER!!

oughta be locked down still - and remain so forever more amen!!

at this price I'd settle for just bein around

tip lots (tops spirited gals deserve most)!!
Wednesday special wings plus roundish curly fries
$11.99 - why go anyplace else fer crissakes huh!!
Hooters happy hour domestic bottle
$3.99 3pm-6PM weekdays
Went by friday night recently (fish and chips on special
here) and the huge seating seemed all took - as the place
seemed fully packed - wow! I just come looking for Irish
spirited talent around so I can give a worthy such weekly
tip (been saving these for a while now in this town) ha ha
Lusrina Limonata brand (amazon.ca) is tops instead!
(blended with a bit of orange juice additionally)Plus, great passion fruit drink available
widely from Cdn distributor $3.25/litre
(Cheapest is "No Frills" supermarket)
Gotta have this stuff around on the menu! Delicious!Tropicana concentrated grape juice gives
a uniquely rich delicious taste for grape
juice/wine fans!
Many bars tend to offer specials such as a Burger meal
deal with a drink purchase along with a "Happy hour" drink
offering daily. I enjoyed even more, recently a grilled jumbo
(pictured) huge kobassa sausage on a bun plus purchased
a delicious Smirnoff (with ice) at this bar. red lobster
would be a nice place to go find some tender beef
burgers mainly - why not eh!!
A&W (just $2.80 buddy
burger) great tasting
burger at a nice price. add more for cheese or
added beef patty. Real fresh beef taste with mayo
and carmelized onion toppings included free.
Great way to serve coke, orange juice
real
lemonade or what have you in a large chilled
mug at
reasonable price. that's the way to see it
done folks!
($10.99 plus tax - "no tipping" is the norm around such fastfood
outlets here - nicer fixturing than macdonalds and far better
value and taste over harveys and wendys too) tasty sausages -
not too oily or salty tasting like so many such ideas around town
(Open 24hrs d/t plus john st, and queen st E)
(church street at shuter or at front street and church plus more)
don't like root beer personally, but the other (coke etc) pop
here is great instead. I just LOVE the juice (one dollar xtra and
well worth it I might add!) 4 bottles root beer special $6.99
with free buddy burger coupon - yay! also open 24hrs queen @logan
Tims has a delicious cheese topped (or plain)
croissant that tastes like a delicate pastry
all the way through, ask for it (microwave)
heated and buttered. price recently increased
to $2.49 plus tax from the previous $1.69 plus
tax not so long ago still seeming now.
Tims had fantastic value as well in quality items such as
their fresh baked apple fritter, sour cream (sweet) glazed
donut, boston cream and fruit explosion muffin offerings
all around a reasonable $1.49 plus tax. Best deals in town
tims great tasting french vanilla capuccino
its the best coffee idea in town for actual great taste
why not have it available everywhere - many coffee vending
machine operators do have this amazing flavour available.
Beats plain tasting coffee thats fer shure!!
Tims previously have offered a great creamy thai soup
(fresh made is great here) plus truly great sandwich deals
that are fresh made and topped without hassles of settling
for the rigmarole of subway across the street.
Tim's fantastic fresh made sandwiches with fresh
tomato slices and romaine lettuce head plus cheddar
cheese on meats such as ham, or turkey. Ranch dressing
etc included or ask for whatever mayo, mayo-Jalapeno etc
sauce style you prefer. They do need to have mustard on
hand (even
dijon mustard perhaps at a premium) plus spanish
onion slices
too. (worth paying for here than elsewhere at the
moment I find)
Starbucks, while having the rightmost idea with
their own "blonde
flavoured" coffee product, fail miserably on
fresh offerings
they cannot be allowed to advertise without,
such as the items
listed just above as available at tims, but
would pay more for at
starbucks for the great lovely
atmosphere potentially, fixturing
already in place with no
further need for continual expensive "re-modelling" projects
-
we all have to pay for to keep such make work projects
continually
alive and seeming recussitated yet again seeming,
against the odds.
Plus all fast food chains must be legislated to protect the
environment by stopping the B.S. lip service to making real cups
mugs, glasses and plates available as billions of paper products
are filling up our landfills as they just don't "get it" when it comes
to right minded service hospitality in such affairs, however that
should not allow abuse of the planet which is still ours as surviving
human beings you must be aware of as so concerned of course, still.
formerly at
metro on front @church street's
lovely flavour (creamy)
thai chicken soup (western
style and quality flavour
certainly)
should be offered everywhere as the main soup every time you stop in for
lunch or snack or beer etc drink
Creamy ham and potato
Should have lotsa ham and smaller matching cuts
of potato - have the tobasco or similar hot sauce on
the ready for more of a kick to the taste equally!
Loblaws $3.99 and up lobster bisque offering is now a bit shy
on flavour - but is generous sized an offering and a real
treat at this price anyway likely. (Lower jarvis st. location)
Great everyday delicious lunch and dinner value lunch/dinner meals between
$10-$15 (Another most favourite recommended pick too around these price levels
choice of one or more lovely meats and great fresh prepared sides equally in very
reasonably priced combo offerings starting around just $8 plus drink if desired)
best
food court
choice above
all else there!!
Eaton Centre location plus others
Lamb shank idea - why not in a
sauce/curry (for fans of
greek food
especially too!)same for meatloaf alternative style of prep
quality/value remains steadily superior on butter chicken here
In the past great (boneless) beef/reg chicken curry was too
here to be had too.
A cross between tandoori style and tikka flavouring instead
this boneless chicken offering is fantastic and would be a huge
success adopted
as our own style of mainstream dish I suggest.
Its shown
above when it was first introduced into the
neighbourhood
here equally, in what was fresh made with
adequate amounts of lovely tasting sauce cooked in -
both aspects of which elusive now for the past quite a while
however when done just right as first introduced, this item
would beat any fast food chicken alternative ideas around
and provide a great taste treat at home or when dining out
too i might add. (should not be hot spicy, but with tangy style
special taste appeal instead) try it here too I'd say
should be tender as if marinated seeming perhaps too
likely.
Apna taste brand tasty veggie peas and potato
samosas with tamarind sauce pckg - walmart
rabba and loblaws owned locations incl
shoppers drug mart locations - just heat up in
microwave and serve at home or cafe/ restaurant
the Metro Supermarket has samosa options too
beware "biriyani" dishes which consist mainly of rice
with little more to justify the prices in this town.
You'd be better off with a well made curry and
pita bread (naan) on the side (or rice/pasta) at
a
reasonable enough of an idea on price/value
get it fresh made here whenever available!
Lets have more such creative style offerings
for breakfast
everywhere eh
The only way to cook
bacon so it doesn't seem like
dog biscuits it is that your crunching on instead
Bacon has to be cooked SOFT - not crispy or it aint
worth eatin, let alone payin for for crissakes!
done right (completely soft) its delicious stuff!
great eggs benedict here too - open on so-called holidays too
now that's so bloody sane an idea for this finally town too!!
(d/t Esplanade location now closed down, open instead
at bell trinity square- behind eaton centre downtown)
(or head east a few blocks to st lawrence cafe also on the esplanade)
Just under fifteen bucks for a full litre of "Port" (Tawny 84) @LCBO!! my fav!!
If you own a restaurant, best deal on great shiraz red wine glass
offerings are made even more possible by Fronterra from Chile ($17.95
Cdn/
1.5L)
"Port" is now used for fortified wines specifically from Portugal
as they have the name "Portu" reserved - its simply "fortified wine"
by whatever such name elsewhere made, in either
"Port" (my fav) or Sherry" flavour offerings
An approx ten dollar bottle of 750ml Local made "Port" is simply the best
deal on (fortified wine) alcohol at the liquor store - period!!
(Other Imported Port/Portu brands expensive by comparison here)
Helluva discovery - great Sherry taste at
an unbeatable $2.50 price
Check Ontario beer stores or LCBO shelves for stock
www.eurocoalition.org"Bourbon Street Grill" Unbeatable for taste and sheer value - amazing
amounts of food in huge selections including spicy beef, garlic or cajun shrimp,
Bourbon chicken (specialty here) and lots more with great tasting lotsa sides
to pick from - all fresh made - around ten bucks for a combo - my fav deal here!
- check for end-of-day specially pre-made combos too - around seven bucks to go!
maybe Also try the food court at Gerrard Square Mall (near pape) for similar
food but with less taste
Nice looking branch with flags of friendship between the
respective countries in addition, also in clear evidence
(lovely TD bank branch location on the danforth near
the greek tourism area)TD also has the most convenient
ATM options with multiple choices of currency denominations
when you make a withdrawal - even just a five dollar bill if
need be (other banks slow to catch up) - and their unlimited
transaction plans allow too all your debit card use for a
reasonable monthly fee. In the U.S. too we like citibank too
mainly for best similar service too hopefully!! TD is top
pick for service with greatest value here in banking we say!
TD did a great job in sponsoring the festivities in the Italian section
on college street during the 2022 festival season celebrations -
ta and grazie equally folks!! ("second to none" - thanks again to TD
- canada's #1 bank and international too)Click here to view our wines and spirits webpage

181 bay street entrance or enter from yonge street
Enjoy a Kafta kabab wrap or beef or

generous filled (beef or chicken or mix of both)
is to be found here at a franchise chain
called "german doner kabab" founded in 1989
has locations around the world including european locations
such as in sweden plus new york etc etc.

is worth it compared to other doner offerings in this town
$13.80 plus add $5 for combo of large fountain drink
plus french fries in your choice of flavour (curry style etc)
queen street just steps east of john
naan and kabab house has a succulent half tandoori
dinner offering to which you can add a beef skewer too if desired. great
value either way

silk road
kabab house
(d/t on bay street
close to office
towers and major hotels
- delivery available)
has a "waziri" dinner including tandoori chicken skewer plus a
skewer of beef, along with rice, salad
and pita bread
offering. quite
reasonably priced. While turkish kabab skewer dinners
and similar
koobideh Kabab
skewer dinners
at persian
restaurants
do offer some
appeal too
certainly, its
often pricier
and not with
as much taste
and side sauce
as these two
afghan picks noted here above all
other such
picks
Lots of seating indoors, plus delivery by ubereats- skip the dishes (or
pickup)
- lots of major hotels nearby
- save on room service in this
town
Persian style "koobideh"
Deliciously fresh made dual beef skewer Turkish kabab dinner plate $20
for complete
meal as shown - Kismet restaurant (fine dining - lotsa seating for your
party or group)
near Broadview on queen
"The New Yorker Deli" restaurant at Bay and bloor in Toronto
offers a variety of smoked meat sandwiches and more. Just love the large
Orange juice (fresh squeezed for just a four dollar price plus tax)
great
euro spirited waitress often!
Japanese
village
restaurants across
Canada is a popular
place for a "cooked
at your table" experience
in tasty cuisine
such as teriyaki
steak and shrimp
and more! Ths aint yucky sushi food
instead, thats fer shure! (No longer
in Toronto? real shame!)
For more tasty takeout, consider
spadina st. (west) Chinatown section
or on broadwiew at Gerrard (west side) for mainly just great BBQ duck by
the pound - only around five bucks a meal in days gone by...
get in on tasty (though pricey) ginger sauce with this then
even more tastier item
Shrimp lo-mein with jumbo shrimp and fresh tasting
veggies and sauce on the spaghetti
would be nice with sriracha sauce
garlic shrimp in creamy sauce - western recipe
food idea
Thai curries could offer great tasting
curries with even
more
menu compatibility with western fare - check around recently featured at "oriental grill" at
gerrard square (pape & gerrard, halfway between east chinatown and
"little india" -
Their daily specials always include the
great "bourbon
chicken" combo lunch offerings too
($10) (one of the best food deals on "the planet") gerrard square food court location only - quality at their
related
chain location d/t not the same as we found here -
shown below is their spicy beef option - plus several more
choice options to select from here (all at $10 for combo
with rice or noodle along with generous meat dish serving)
Also based at the gerrard square food court is
just opened "La sani" grill. $13.95 for a dual kabab
combo as shown (incl rice with green salad
combination) the place has much potential here
no doubt yet comes up short at this time on fresh
taste quality as the beef skewer seemed re-heated
from the night before likely. Oh well, live and learn
personally dont like this choice of salad especially
prefer cole slaw with tons of mayo mixed in for taste
instead, plus the rice could be even better tasting
with naan (buttered and fresh toasted) option too.
had a tasty chicken dish here
recently (Thai basil chicken)
in a tasty sauce - $6.95 plus tax for just the curry dish -
opted for no side dish like rice or noodles.
$15 greek lunch special at krystos near
King and river - nice place for private party

Folks using food delivery services
such as uber, skip the dishes etc
are in fact paying for this service
through possibly higher prices for
portion size, and directly related
added "service fees" which may be
levied in addition to the actual
amount touted as "delivery fee".
Best deal is always on pick-up
or dine in. Or to use the restaurants
own delivery service as its a cheaper
way usually, despite still costing more
for having delivery than if you could
arrange for pick-up and get the food
home still hot and fresh or re-heat
without severe loss of fresh quality.
no-frills and
freshco have daily low prices on "Simply
brand"
favourite brand quality juices - lemonade and orange etc
No-frills is best for 2l pop in brand name choices or generic
brand prices. Best selections of pop available in town are here
My own best pick is the Lurisia flavoured offering
of bottled Limonata from Italy - served chilled. has concentrated orange juice blended in for
great overall added taste enhancement
experience!!
Best limonata brand!!
