Yeah, I think it'd be hard to find someone who doesn't have the green room on the list... I just recently discovered the breakfast though and now it's a whole new green room for me :-). I'm living in ottawa for school right now so I'm gonna have to start taking notes too. I've pretty much just stayed in the annex during my brief trips back home, so I'll leave the "hip" hangouts to those still living there :-)

HIJACK!!!!! lol
Hey anyone going to The Ice Cup in Montreal?
I love and miss Montreal for all it's eatin and drinkin spots.

Mmmmm. Curry chicken noodle soup.......

Montreal definitely does have great and cheap places for eatin and drinkin! The last time I was there my friends took my on a great gastronomic tour. :D

Related Question #1: Anyone doing anything fun and exciting this weekend? My schedule is a mostly blank canvas (hence my original question).

number 104.... Satay Beef on salad.

Going to Barrie Sat to see some friends and in-laws come back from Philippines on Sunday.
Kids will be thrilled to see grandparents again.

Off topic even farther, but if you haven't eaten here you need to:

Addis Ababa Restaurant 1184 Queen St W.

Eithiopian food. Good. Very good. Get the mixed vegetarian platter.

hey guys!!
I swear I am going to hang around here more regularly! How are things going? I haven't popped in here since New Years day. I switched to working afternoons at my "DAY" job 6pm-2am and getting used to the schedule has kinda wiped me out for a few weeks.

But I am really hungry and want pork buns..LOTS of pork buns..so if anyone is going on early afternoon bun runs I'm in :)

JEREMY! Awesome to see you on the board too!
Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well!!

RoB

I'm up for lunch/pork buns anytime. Now that I have a pass it doesnt cost me extra to transit anywhere.

damn.. i think you'd be hard-pressed to find anything bad in chinatown. best noodles: swatow. best pho: pho hung. korea town also has dirt-cheap eats and cheaper booze. hmm, contemplating a pork bun run today but it's pretty damn chilly. operator and sr2, hook us up in richmond hill!!

supposed to be 7 degrees tomorrow and 5 on Saturday. woo.

7degrees tomorrow!? sweet!
I can't remember the name, but there is a vietnamese sub shob in china town too..They raised their prices to $1.50 for a foot long sub...(last year they were $1). I don't want to know or care what they put in the subs, but they taste good and I'm sure they are packed with goodness!

yes yes my wife gets those for the kids sometimes!!!! Up from a buck ....the nerve....lol

Hola! I've been on the BF boards for a while now, and have somehow consistently failed to find this section - goes to show just how deep this site is. Anyhow, hallo fellow t-dot fixers :)

i think there are 4 of the saigon sub stores all on the same block but my favourite one (co yen) closed its doors awhile ago... it's funny how every store raised their prices at the same time though. it was something like over-night!! hmmm..... but a buck-fiddy is still cheap. i love the mass of bikes locked up on that corner (SW spadina/dundas) between the old ladies selling their home grown.. whatta mess.
7C for critical mass tomorrow??

I'm thinkin about going, If I can get the van full. The Cafeteria for breakfast and Bloody Caesars! Ahhhhh....the memories.

They listed a whole bunch of em in a Now magazine cheap eats issue. Boom....increase in price. A whole $1.50 fer a samitch....how am I gonna get my kids thru college? Soon Gails will increase their burger/milkshake/pie combo up from the $6 it is now and I will be screwed.

Crap. I forgot about CM! I'm supposed to be hanging out with some people from work. Any of you kids going?

Ventolin?



Yes, I'm bored at work. :)

Have you guys seen this: Local courier getting assaulted by some road rage motorist. This guy is just begging for a serious ass kicking.

I'm up for something on the weekend if anyones free. More buns?

wow.. almost biked to kensington for lunch today...
on another note: chinese new year is probably the only day of the year that chinatown MIGHT be closed.. and it's this sunday. just a heads up to all you would-be bun runners.

They just moved. And that $1.50 thing, the china town triads got to them... HEH.
One store has better subs than the other. In fact i'm eating one right now.

<- Self proclaimed vietnamese sub expert.

Up for Sunday, Sat no go, chinese new year.

CM: who's going, I might bust out my bike tomorrow.

gung hay fat choy

I'm gonna be in Collingwood boardin' it up for the third crazy warm friday in a row. I'll be there in spirit if not in person.

haha nice.
right back at you.
today's not chinese new years is it.....!? edit- sunday.

and as for viet bun shops in Scarborough.
The only one that crosses my mind is the shop that supplies for all the TNT shops,
and thats located @ Middlefield and Steeles right beside TNT.
I'm sure there's other locations, but I just haven't spotted any others.

man... I get the shivers each time I open up my viet bun to pick out the nasty green stuff.
the spreaded lard all pasty and pale brown. urg.
I saw them making my sandwich once. The lard comes in a long roll and they just cut some off and spread it all over the bun. yum.

and as for cheapest eats:
IKEA & COSTO yea! + they have self-refills!

you're dead to me. :)

Rofl somnambulant.
FYI: the subs from TNT, they suck.

nice to be here rob. when are we going riding again? i'd be up for a pork bun run one afternoon. give me a shout. i thought we'd lost you for a while there; the last few TFG rides have not had the highest attendance however. you did miss our last official one, the "scotch and snow" ride to feathers pub on kingston road.

that reminds me: a favourite pub in the east end, feathers. old school brit pub whose claim to fame is having over 450 single malts behind the bar, some of which is exclusive to feathers.

other than that - whelans gate at bloor near high park. and the green room if i feel like getting drunk and feeling like a student again.

all signs point to yes if it's going to be 7 degrees.

GAIL's!!...i mistakenly referred to it as "GRACE's". go to GAIL's. now.

dat be da one!
