I have always had a soft spot for the Patrician Grill. When I was a kid, my dad used to take my brother and I to his office on Saturday mornings. We’d head directly across the street to the Patrician Grill for a peameal on a kaiser at lunch. Some thirty years later, it feels…

Detroit Eatery ~ 389 Danforth Ave ~ (416) 461-0136
The Detroit Eatery is a Danforth institution… the greasiest of spoons. Located in the heart of Greektown (at Chester Station), the Antaras family has been serving my family Fries & Gravy since I was in junior school at Frankland. And even though both the interior and exterior are adorned in nothing but Detroit Red Wing…
Wexford Restaurant ~ 2072 Lawrence Ave E ~ (416) 755-1229
I had “Breakfast at the Wexford” recently, drawn by the claim that they had cracked millions of Eggs over the years and had squeezed even more Oranges.

Gale’s Snack Bar – 539 Eastern Ave – (416) 364-1300
I have been hearing a lot of buzz these days about the cheap-eats at Gale’s Snack Bar. Seeing that it’s walking distance from work, I decided to check it out recently. Living in the East End of the city for a good percentage of my life, I always saw this place but didn’t really give it much thought. I’m…
The Tulip Steakhouse- 1610 Queen St. East – (416) 469-5797
“Famous for their world-class steaks and all-day breakfasts since 1929,” The Tulip Steakhouse is a Beaches landmark… good for three square meals a day. It would be difficult to find a better all-day breakfast than The Tulip Big Breakfast ($9.95). The decadence of this platter is the stuff of legend. Here we have 3 Eggs,…
