Brock Sandwich ~ 1260 Bloor St W ~ (647) 748-1260

Brock Sandwich is a place that needs little introduction. Tucked away on one of my favourite sections of Bloor West (between Dufferin & Lansdowne), they have been winning awards and piling-up the accolades over the past year as the best place for sandwiches in the city. I had the pleasure of visiting recently with the…

The City’s Best Soup (a list)

This Blog Post was originally written this past summer. Now that it’s minus a million degrees in Toronto, this updated list may prove more useful… On a hot summer day, a piping bowl of Soup may be the last thing on your mind. Not this guy!

Ten Places To Eat For A Fiver (Tax-In)

It’s almost impossible to get lunch for five bucks. Not so long ago, a $3.99 price-point was actually conceivable. In today’s world of the ten/fifteen-dollar lunch, it’s always good to know a few places that don’t break the bank… and still do it up big-style despite being a good value. We all have a few…

Caribbean Queen of Patties – 1279 Bloor St W – (416) 538-1732

On the corner of Lansdowne and Bloor lies the Caribbean Queen of Patties, and, for argument’s sake, they happen to have the best Beef Patties in town. Made fresh-and-often daily, $1.50 gets you one heck of a snack; $12 gets you an even ten. If you’re peckish and happen to find yourself in that neck…
