special is a great lamb burger choice including fries for just $8.95
at Christina's restaurant too, next door
Souvlaki on pita picks include (besides pork) chicken or even lamb (better
than a steak most places!) options Mondays are for vacationing seeming at
some places (closed mondays) aw! (on danforth avenue near chester subway
station)
http://restaurantreviewsbyrizzo.com
Also Great food + decor at Christina's next door to the Danforth's "Friendly Greek" Restaurant
Lots of great pork (or chicken) and tasty tzatziki sauce, lovely fresh tomato
Onion plus they even throw in french fries for you for free seeming I'd say!!
Best service experience was found here in all the places as such I tried,
(Christinas on danforth taking top spot with kind service from Herald) also
a young greek woman at aristos sure too has her heart into her profession in
what is our hospitality and service industry as relates to the vital needs for
such best food as souvlaki remains forever more - check out their website too:
click here
by the way, Souvlaki should be served with moist, fresh prepared tender
tasting fire grilled meat, plus generous on tzatziki as we found
it to be here plus at similarly popular spots such as (greek
family owned) golden diner and Frankies on Queen street west,
across from CAMH plus The friendly greek on the danforth.
$8.95 chicken or pork souvlaki on a pita fresh sliced tomato and white onion slice cuts with tasty tzatziki sauce and tender meat
more below:
ideas for all bars and diner/fine restaurants equally The Greek owned "Golden diner" at Jarvis/Carlton has great (under $20 dinner) Lamb Souvlaki - tastes like enjoying a steak! (cooked over a fire grill) Also
molson Canadian beer is a reasonably priced just
$5 add-on - nothing beats smirnoff if you arent
killin time at a bar and just maybe having a couple
beers instead there. my favourite beer is peroni
(mild tasting, yet with full 5% alcoholic content) or
even better for now Molson tallcan 6% cold shot! wow!
Krystos is now "Freddy's greek"
148 sumach (near distillery district)
lamb souvlaki dinner is approx $20

souvlaki lunch special, weekdays at "freddy the greek"
Plays greek music most of the time while you dine
near King and river - nice place for private party
including your private wedding reception
Jimmy the greek franchise at brookfield place on yonge st
downtown food court apparently only boils the chicken
served in their $9.24 (plus tax) souvlaki wraps so not
worth it for taste here. ask them to fire grill instead.
or try frankies at ossington or "the friendly greek"
on the danforth instead for "the real authentic quality"
check around

where the best approach isnt employed
in cooking or preparing such favourite picks
Turkish adana kebab beef skewer platters
are #1 pick for mideastern foods
Try the naan and kabab House on Yonge St

Toronto's mayor chow hasn't a clue as to how hard a financial picture the industry has
always faced and many were ruined through the covid fiasco poor handling too.
Small restaurant owners need a complete break from such excesses as liquor licensing fees
or patio fees and should even get a share of the taxes collected on food sales at their
struggling restaurants in what should be a subsidized industry where merited, in place
of any more funds building bombs and destructive minded munitions to plague the planet
with fer crissakes! Meanwhile Chow has voted herself a 25%
whopping raise to an unconscionable (under the circumstances) $225,000.00 annual salary
plus allowances. There should be a plebiscite to first gain approval for this action, I say!
html5 video by ThunderSoftHey Sheldon! buzz off eh! Its dear Penny who keeps our humanist spirit alive
and would instead deserve what monies chow is pocketing advocating for your "cause" instead

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

banking needs that are just plain nicer designed.
taste may vary depending on sauce used
and more
Best place for take-out shrimp! loblaws
deli counters are a nice treat!!
The best tasting drink wherever liquor is to be found
to be had - smirnoff - I even then prefer port wine if
available though! (Plus molson beer in pint draft size)
Rabba's sherbourne ave location on front
street. Other variations (cherry version, chocolate swirl etc just a tad bit
more)

Family treat
take-out available cheap at select supermarkets shop around to see whos got the best BBQ taste and reasonable price
!test
For the next christmas / thanksgiving etc dinner
make it a deliciously thick pork loin slice over a bland
tasting turkey!!
or go for the tasty style of
serving turkey - braised
(pictured on the right)
Why not add duck over turkey?
Tastes better bbq and is hugely popular
-
Whole bbq duck - a great idea for you and
your date -
or even as part of
a nice family
get together
Party time!!
Lovely idea for tender steak bites in garlic
sauce
as an appetizer or main course with
a side
perhaps such as pasta or potato
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)
(video above)
Delicious chicken curry expertly made
Western dish alternatives to "curry" do abound deliciously!!
Hungarian Goulash is a popular western standard
which replaces curry as a mainstay on menus
more
extant around restaurants in europe, but not yet
sufficiently so around toronto and
related areas - beef skewers with light seasonings re a great meal idea plus
hearty beef chili too
(video above)

onion all result in
great taste packed in to draw in
crowds with - why not at red lobster etc even
St Lawrence Market

Formerly at the greek "ok diner" on queen st east

cuts and bread choice pick even and lovely potato
French style eggs benedict servings out there! yah!
back bacon is a much healthier way to go over overly oily
strip bacon (including for taste)
for breakfast sandwich
offerings by the way, and ham should always be the option
to replace bacon for a side
offering with breakfast
- eggs benedict style is tops for taste with hollandaise!!

gift idea from ikea!!
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.
check out the French onion soup as a great food option at your local bar
I prefer creamy thai soup (metro, loblaws, longos at jefferson st) etc freshly
prepared) for
the nuisance of cutting through that gooey cheese now. oh well
seasoned, cooked tender baby potato - yum!
Great sausage with better pick of potato style over mash
would be the way to go instead we'd now say!! (ciao)
Lamb and potato stew (add some sriracha too)
Copenhagen cheesecake - even served by irish spirited gal. with
in depth knowledge of these offerings here, all the way from denmark

here!! (20 adelaide just east of yonge st near church st)
(Im mainly here for such service ideas in such regards or
there's other places to be too - merci!!)
$3.99 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) this sausage also available at front street
location, etc my top sausge pick personally is greek at yiannis st st lawrence
market, while the sausage pictured above should replace breakfast sausage
offerings including in "bangers and mash" dishes that is. ta
Check on their great combo deal special for lunch!!
check out the "firkin bar " locations around town too
("where have all the flowers gone in this town around??")
This would make you feel at home at any such fine
dining restaurant as could serve it up as looking above

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! used to have 100% non-diluted
full glass in my growing up days overseas.
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!!
Just try finding this stuff on the menu
ha ha - time we got a revamped offering
Kobasa sausage on a bun
(available at Cosco wholesale++)
Halibut fish is advertised as made fresh for you at The Greek owned
"Golden Diner" on Carlton street near Yonge st - great lamb souvlaki too
mini version - quite satisfying!!)
add 50 cents for cheese - mayo no charge xtra
Also shown is the nice onion rings alternative to the french fries
if you prefer Fresh ingredients all the way! nice! (take all the kids too)
delicious mayo on burger beats ketchup for my money!!
A&W (just $2.80 buddy
burger burger at a good price.
add more for cheese or
added beef patty. Real fresh
beef taste with mayo
and carmelized onion toppings
included.
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! meat quality simply superior to
mcdonalds or wendys etc on burgers we tried there.
plus great value on these shown picks at a&w
I do love the taste on the burger king jnr tasty beef burger
served with mayo lettuce tomato onion ketchup and mustard
the whopper desn't seem to be as good a taste experience
although its a huge patty for the price - just $8 combo special
on wednesdays including fries and drink. Harvey's angus
burger is good however everything there seems pricey
unless they have specials/discount coupons available
Best meat quality along with fresh ingredients compared
to wendys and macdonalds given better beef pick here
and at burger king on their $5.50 plus tax jnr burger combo
nicer fixturing than
macdonalds etc plus far better
value and
taste over harveys and
wendys burgers too) tasty sausages -
not too
oily or salty tasting like
so many such ideas around
town. macdonalds should be replaced by a&w chain for consumer
benefit! ha ha
Some locations may allow sausage instead of bacon
on request
(tax, if any are xtra and not included)
A&W
A&W beef burgers beat wendys and macdonalds or harveys burger chains for
taste/value (A&W Open 24hrs for "take-out only after late nite"
d/t plus at
many of their
such other locations)
Check for "manager specials combos etc" at participating locations
- prices may vary just a bit - $10 teen burger combo special now on
selectively too - check locations near to you - I loved a&w growing up
Pop or oj, lemonade etc served in a large mug where available
- or large
take-out paper cup option TIM HORTONS FARE
Tims has a tasty cheesy topped (or plain)
croissant that tastes like a delicate pastry
all the way through, ask for it microwave
heated and buttered. $2.49 plus tax
Tims has great offerings still in other nice 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 prices in town
tims great tasting french vanilla capuccino
its the best coffee idea in town for actual great taste
except for a nice "double sugar double cream iced coffee
which I love best -
why not have it available everywhere -
many coffee vending
machine operators do have this amazing
flavour available
but rarely with adequate enough french
vanilla coffee
powder, so tastes poor instead - waste! tim's
version
Beats plain tasting, and even more expensive coffee
ideas, thats fer shure for me!!
med size version - served in large
mug (as shown)
(fresh made tims thai soup when available / ham sandwich is
great here) some or maybe all Tims franchise / company locations
don't have
mustard available at last check, or fresh (spanish)
sliced onions etc tut tut
Tims fresh (artisan) ham and cheddar sandwich on
a bun $5.99 plus tax -
Comes with ranch suce included
- other sauce picks
plus jalapenos available as xtras
unbeatable around this price level!! (ask for it grilled)
(also available as beef 'n cheddar hot grilled fresh made)
or even turkey with our without bacon included for $1
difference - hope they offer backbacon style strips again
soon
Get the "three meats" supreme - great thin crust,

everyone should have access to a microwave
at work to bring lunch from home
egg, cheese, sausage or bacon with wedges wow!
(two for four dollar breakfast menu items)
free mayo plus tasty heinz bbq sauce packs
all at quite reasonable price - forget maconalds!
you'll love the deal at burger king on $5.50
tasty burger combo even at breakfast time!!
Fresh served reuben sandwich
(why not at starbucks too eh!!)
save on rudolph bakery products at freshco especially, plus great 2ft long
bread baguette's - cheap!!
Check for fresh single croissants at the deli counter for a kwik sandwich
treat wherever you shop
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.
Plastic or paper bags should be routinely provided whenever it
would be sane to do (without having to first "beg" fer crissakes man!!)
wanna preach on this go to those areas of the planet where billions
of wasted bags potentially are instead somewhat ignored by lefties
music in restaurants and shopping malls, supermarkets etc
must be supremely well picked for good taste such as Richard
clayderman and ray coniff, plus britney spears plus such added
picks as (top picks of) jennifer Lopez even and all of whitney houston
billy ocean and
lionel richie even. Cut the crap with the shit they
are putting
on instead that are "brain dead" and therefore predatory
with
sound therapies to "retard the human spirit" which survives
in
better idea of "what is good and fair to do" instead for all.
Metro

Flaky style pastry better on sausage rolls
and croissant sandwiches etc
$2.50/lbtasty weiners
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)
Leo's Marche Deli 475 front St east
Lovely Euro desserts counter

t dollars,
A nice idea for an offering on the menu
the best tasting shawarma
(mideast style chicken wrap)
seems to be the spicy
(chicken) shawarma offering from
paramount's brookfield place location
(freshest ingredients
incl fresh vegetables
plus sauces)
181 bay street entrance or enter from yonge street
This hugely popular d/t food court is completely
packed at peak times The
$10 spicy chicken shawarma is a nice offering found just only here
also
Enjoy a Kafta kabab wrap or beef or
(regular or spicy chicken) wrap here!!
The great Italian diaspora is seen mainly
in lebanon and in this instance Palestine too, equally. (Palestinian restaurant
food fare)
This would be a great add-on to western menus
that offer butter chicken additionally too etc
on Yonge street and at brookfield place location
mainly
Add sauce on top of any plain rice dishes for an edifying taste
experience!!
dont miss out on the paramount foods spicy lebanese shawarma at
brookfield terrace
downtown toronto location only
Always have sauce atop or on the side, with any rice
or pasta offerings (plain
white rice is a poor pick
- flavouvred or veggie mixed rick style is a better
choice)
Armenian cuisine looks
similarly enticing as turkey, iran, Russia,
afghanistan pakistan!!
garlic shrimp in creamy sauce

kabab house
(yonge st d/t)
has a "waziri" dinner including tandoori chicken skewer plus
a

reasonably priced. While turkish kabab skewer dinners

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
#1 pick for mideastern foods with added taste
flavours over the competition
- even indo menu items like tandoori half
chicken

PS:
if they sold these in halves for $2.50 (tax incl)

day as I've seen happen on busy granville st in
Vancouver at a pizza outlet with just a window
service area where folks lined up all week
seeming. many years ago pizza hut's carlton
street location (located next to the cinemas
next door near yonge st) did quite well it seems
selling slices at their window as passerbys
stopped for a quick purchase of a nice single
slice pizza snack, often just having been
freshly made
pizza nova
most popular for quality/
value of the pizzeria chains
My mother used to often serve these delicious treats,
only she mainly used beef - similar to samosa fillings
and instead used mash potato cake style ideas as
shown in the picture above, and dipped in egg batter,
then lightly fried to cook the egg on the outer layer
before serving! (from an indian recipe called
bateta chaamp) (bateta means potato in hindi/urdu)
Serving suggestion for Iran style mini potato cakes
filled with beef / lamb
Loblaws (no frills too)
nice ziggys brand turkey or
pork Kobassa (reasonable price
around ($6-$7) approx
Soft buttery taste - sandwich sliced as shown
or in brioche bun style for sausage instead

found at the keg during most recent trip to d/t (york st) location
for lunch - deliciously prepared. also enjoyed a coupla pints of
favourite beer - (molsons) while here. why be anyplace else??
Also Great food + decor at Christina's next door to the Danforth's "Friendly Greek" Restaurant
Lots of great pork (or chicken) and tasty tzatziki sauce, lovely fresh tomato
Onion plus they even throw in french fries for you for free seeming I'd say!!
Best service experience was found here in all the places as such I tried,
(Christinas on danforth taking top spot with kind service from Herald) also
a young greek woman at aristos sure too has her heart into her profession in
what is our hospitality and service industry as relates to the vital needs for
such best food as souvlaki remains forever more - check out their website too:
Jimmy the greek franchise at brookfield place on yonge st
downtown food court apparently only boils the chicken
served in their $9.24 (plus tax) souvlaki wraps so not
worth it for taste here. ask them to fire grill instead.
or try frankies at ossington or "the friendly greek"
on the danforth instead for "the real authentic quality"
check around
