EVERY RESTAURANT IN PARKDALE: BACCHUS ROTI SHOP: 1376 Queen Street West - (416) 532-8191

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011/02/bacchus-roti-shop-1376-queen-street.html

Wednesday, February 16, 2011. BACCHUS ROTI SHOP: 1376 Queen Street West - (416) 532-8191. Yeah I'm not going in there." my fiance Jessica said as we peered inside the window of a Parkdale restaurant that looked, well, less than reputable. I think she may have been put off by the complete lack of patrons, the 5 year old boy sitting alone and staring at a TV, and the stacks of clear storage bins filled with clothing lining the walls next to the tables. Our entire order arrived super quick and looking fine&...

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-time-restaurant-1384-queen-street.html

Monday, May 9, 2011. HAPPY TIME RESTAURANT: 1384 Queen Street West - (416) 532-9565. Tristen outside the Happy Time Restaurant. When I was around 14 years old, a friend of mine and I went to our local video shop and we decided to rent the movie Ishtar. Or the Star Wars Christmas Special. Was bad. Those movies are simultaneously bad and hilarious (just like a good pun! Inside the Happy Time Restaurant. The sweetest boy you ever did knew! But first, a word about our guest. Tristen. And I have known each ot...

EVERY RESTAURANT IN PARKDALE: June 2011

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 19, 2011. You may have noticed that I haven't been posting in a bit. If you wanted to know why, well, I got married yesterday on Ward's Island! And as many of you know, the few weeks before your wedding gets very very busy. We are leaving on our honeymoon tomorrow and will be back at the end of the month. So expect a tonne of postings throughout July (hopefully! Also, if anyone needs a delicious event caterer, we can't say enough good things about Audrey Demers. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

EVERY RESTAURANT IN PARKDALE: INTERSTEER RESTAURANT: 361 Roncesvalles Avenue - (416) 588-8054

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011/04/intersteer-restaurant-361-roncesvalles.html

Friday, April 29, 2011. INTERSTEER RESTAURANT: 361 Roncesvalles Avenue - (416) 588-8054. The menu at the Intersteer. The chef at the Intersteer was Bart Murawieki, a Susur Lee trained chef. He has apparently moved on and been replaced by Mike Cross, an old sous chef from Rain. To me this was the most intriguing part of the Intersteer. It appeared to be a kind of seedy old Polish bar but, if you braved its harsh veneer, it would reward you with some truly amazing food. Daniel Neuhaus and Vanessa Heins.

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011/01/mother-india-1456-queen-street-west-416.html

Saturday, January 8, 2011. MOTHER INDIA: 1456 Queen Street West - (416) 588-4634. James Kachan - Dinner guest. For this outing I was joined by the bastard love child of Cameron Diaz and Julien Assange, the wonderful photographer James Kachan. Please don't judge me, or him. K? However that all changed with the entrees! As per the rules of this blog, we asked the waitress to recommend what the restaurant did best. For James, he got a saag paneer roti which is filled with potatoes, spinach, and cheese&#...

EVERY RESTAURANT IN PARKDALE: PHOENIX RESTAURANT: 1345 Queen St West - (416) 532-2971

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011/04/phoenix-restaurant-1345-queen-st-west.html

Tuesday, April 5, 2011. PHOENIX RESTAURANT: 1345 Queen St West - (416) 532-2971. Outside the Phoenix Restaurant. Looking back now, I think it was the Phoenix Restaurant that inspired me to start this blog. The exterior looked like a lot of other Parkdale restaurants, the sign read Chinese and Canadian Food (a piece of advice here: any restaurant that advertises itself as "anything Canadian food" is never a good sign, kinda like a video monitor menu at the door .beware! Please meet Shelbie Vermette. She i...

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. BARQUE SMOKEHOUSE: 299 Roncesvalles Avenue - (416) 532-7700. Chris and Rob outside Barque Smokehouse. I am a carnivore through and through. Proud one at that as well! So you can imagine my giddiness when Barque Smokehouse. Our dinner guest Chris Barry and Rob Norton. So a week or so ago, I invited my good friends Rob Norton. Popcorn and dipping sauces for munching. A little apology in advance. I accidentally deleted my notes from this restaurant off my Iphone so I’m writi...Rob let...

EVERY RESTAURANT IN PARKDALE: March 2011

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 14, 2011. THE RHINO: 1249 Queen Street West - (416) 535-8089. We were walking along Queen Street one day when I turned to Jessica and said "I really like the name 'The Rhino'. It evokes the kind of imagery I want when I think of a pub. The leathery feel of rhinoceros skin, the dark grey colour palate, its wise and ferocious demeanor, I don't know why but for a pubs name, it totally does it for me.". But this time, to my amazement, she agrees! Art director from Young and Rubicam. We were bot...

EVERY RESTAURANT IN PARKDALE: CHICKEN PLUS CURRY ROTI: 216 Close Avenue - (416) 516-0747

http://everyrestaurantinparkdale.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicken-plus-curry-roti-216-close.html

Thursday, May 26, 2011. CHICKEN PLUS CURRY ROTI: 216 Close Avenue - (416) 516-0747. Kevin outside Chicken Plus Curry Roti. 8220;I often cry during episodes of Glee” Kevin said while recalling a recent and saddening episode of the hit TV show. There is a small chance I might have provoked such a statement by talking about the last episode where Sue Sylvester's sister died and the Glee club sang a Willy Wonka song at her funeral. There is even a smaller. Dinner guest Kevin Barry. When I suggested we grab s...
