#1 on everyone's list for top restaurant
dinner treat idea (Steak and lobster)
    
(See specific restaurant choices                  "Port" wine
further below on this page)                           18% - 20% alc

For an alternate sorta thrill, why 
not try a French "coq-au-vin" dinner 
plate chef's choice from the kitchen
on occasion once in a while too eh








Stand-up Comedian Mr. John Pinette's "other half's" 
Irish!! (He's Italian yet raised Irish/Italian" - yay)




Great Irish stew ideas for Pubs

Irish Lamb stew with potato

Irish Pub stew example - beef or lamb
(tabasco as required additionally ta 
and merci equally)


 Best food value from a can - beats Campbell's etc soups
and Chili offerings out there etc all te hell! Best taste quality 
and value of any such idea of food serving. Stock up on lots! You'll
be hooked. Have even some Franks etc hot sauce on hand too
if you like additionally. (No Frills grocery locations)
A USA product initially, also made locally elsewhere under 
licence agreement or their own added plant in your own locale.
Higher priced usually at Shoppers Drug Mart grocery (Beef stew vers)






steal tastes bloody awful in reality!
Their in-store fresh made vers offering 
was instead, a much nicer idea of quality


(dont need this spicy instead of mainly
tasty creamy as we prefer fer shure!)


Tasty homemade style beef stew 
recipe for restaurants equally.
serve with hot sauce as always 
too!


Chicken gumbo dish - great 
with hot sauce on the side!!


Dear kaley cuoco loves
my favourite brand of vodka
too it would appear (I love
the "smirnoff ice" coolers
most of all - and vodka 
with orange juice too - why not!!) 


http://10mostbeautifulwomen.com/kaleycuocofanpage

 














Creamy Italian chicken marsala
- enuf of the just pasta and
tomato sauce idea of a cheap
copout eh!





buy meat cheaper in pckgs of 5 or 10 or more at competitive supermarket outlets
20 minutes in the oven (turn over once in-between) voila - a feast for cheap!


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:

(Greek dining community section of Toronto
is in Danforth Avenue - east of broadview)



Souvlaki wrap - chicken or beef
our Top favourite daily lunch pick!




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) same quality of food
available at the greek owned Frankie's diner on queen st west near shaw
street.






Frankies $11.75 (plus tax and tip)  home made burger combo special
with soft drink plus fries all included (custom toppings picks of
your choice - fresh tomato lettuce relish and pickle included free)











Best Burger deal here too, for just an approx
just ten dollar outing! (plus tax- complete combo!!) (Halal available)



Queen street East @ broadview

Queen street East @ broadview


Over this past decade I've been in literally hundreds of times I figure for the Wednesday drink and burger special back then - now its just five bucks fifty
for a full 20 oz pint on their molsons and other drink specials - late nights and
afternoons too - check for posted times. currently 3pm-6pm and again from
9pm - close (as late  as 2AM at the atrium on bay location - its the only one
for me as they potentially have the right music with the jukebox option mainly
available for some of the greatest songs of 70s-90s decades plus more!
Special also applies all day sat-sun (check for latest on specials pricing
and times)



The best tasting drink wherever liquor is to be found
to be had - smirnoff


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!!




BBQ chicken beats greasy salty fried chicken
(use tasty sauce/ bbq paste)


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)






Beef stew or indian curry adaptable recipes (always cook in oil
base for best taste results I find!!)



Comedian Mr. John Pinette decries salt levels in KFC style
chicken offerings
 

Comedian John Pinette - Salad aint no food!



The "Roy Public House Pub" at queen street east at
logan avenue (just near td although the atm section
is only open during office hours - unlike before -
alas) 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.




Tandoori flavour quarter chicken tray
serving IDEA

(pdf format file)

Chicken tikka servings

Click here to view or download/print a sorta similar
style recipe (pdf format file)


Tandoori drumsticks or quarter chicken servings
are even more commonly found - consistent tender,
and juicy, (marinated quality) with generously coated
tandoori flavour pasty sauce should be desired.




Tandoori quarter selling for under four bucks
(with tax) on dundas near jarvis. Need a source
for fresh consistently great tasting (packed with
sauce) tender (marinated even) offering for
real success on this one.


Not that this would get my lunch dollar over an Italian
sausage on a bun with fresh sliced onion instead- no way!
ha ha






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)


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!!



The best tasting sliced meats (pckgd) are shown below:
Thai Chili chicken breast plus Kolbassa loaf. Check around!!

                                                       


also nice is Hungarian
Kravovska sliced meat
                                   


        $5.50 reg

                                         

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)
pictured at the OK diner (its friendly greek family owned too by
the way) 1128 queen street east - get off at jones and walk back
westward a just less than a half a block (1128 Queen street east)
see more including hours open at this link here:
https://www.yelp.ca/biz/ok-ok-diner-toronto
($9.50 plus tax and tip - as pictured recently) shown are 2 large poached
eggs or three eggs if you prefer prepared non-poached instead (over easy
etc)




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 has a mini breakfast sandwich with back bacon. $2.99


French style eggs benedict servings out there! yah!




Paddington's Restaurant and Pub at
St Lawrence Market - by the main entrance


Paddington's menu variety plus all the Guinness/Smirnoff/Wines
and other such ideas as you could possibly handle!!


Future Bistro - West just past Spadina
on Bloor (Near the subway station)


Future Bistro's Breakfast eggs combo - lots of choices in omelettes
and more (try the "all day" grillwurst sausage dinner too if you wish) Liquor licenced


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)


Pumpernickles
locations (breakfast and lunch)

$7 breakfast includes breakfast sandwich plus coffee
wednesdays, while on fridays, enjoy too their "Classic
hot breakfast" (normally $8.95 - only $7 on fridays)

especially delicious and tender tasting made -
(not overdone) plus lots of curry mash potato
filling plus meats. similarly available at
esthers soups and more (cumberland terrace)
(Yonge and bloor - west side across from
library)


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




check out the French onion soup as a great food option at your local bar
I prefer creamy thai soup (metro, longos etc freshly prepared) for
the nuisance of cutting through that gooey cheese now. oh well





add seasoning into the beef would be our suggestion -
although the complimentary HP sauce goes about as
far for the nice taste too




Recent treat on easter sunday - pack your own music (mobilephone with
headphones configured with ray conniff and tom jones etc  - or suffer
through a full bloody hour of rap genre so-called (sickening alternative
culture enforcement to those who are genuinely incurably conservative
taste minded) music . You do have smirnoff ice available here! ta












Now just $2.99 each - the mutual street metro location even offers them to
you cooked with a lovely soft bacon strip wrapped around each one!! - nice!!
(optionally that is - same price) best location for metro deli for quality.
lunch items aren't sold before 11AM despite being on display. breakfast menu
not yet showing as an added option perhaps too.


 

check out the "firkin bar " locations around town too
("where have all the flowers gone in this town around??")

"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 our
respective countries in addition, also in clear evidence
(lovely TD bank branch location on the danforth near 
the greek tourism area) by the way tD bank is the #1 
bank here and is positioned internationally, plus we 
find it to be best of bank services provider speaking 
for many such folks as have made TD #1 - its the official 
blu-jays bank by the way too. TD also has the most 
convenient ATM designs with multiple choices of currency 
denominations when you make a withdrawal - even just a 
five dollar bill if need be - and their unlimited transaction 
plans allow all the debit card use for a reasonable small 
monthly fee - you can even use their select ATM dispenser 
for US currency withdrawals rather than having to go 
elsewhere trying to find it at such reasonable cost and 
convenience. In the U.S. too we like citibank too mainly for 
best similar service too hopefully!!


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)
