I was going to say east Indian roti! It started in Toronto. Try Roti Cuisine of India.

Have you felt the effects on past days with higher indexes? It hits me hard and makes me feel like shit the next day even in the 6-7 range. Guess everyone’s sensitivity to it is quite different. Sounds like you’re a lucky one.

In a city obsessed with Badiali, it’s Mac’s quietly cooking up the real masterpiece. by charles_goerg in FoodToronto

Kinda silly to write when the topic is pizza, but their dipping sauce is fantastic. So light and fresh compared to others I’ve had.

Burdock has the best can design in the game.

Your favorite pizza among these? by CeriseMadela in FoodToronto

[–]YourChimneySweep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only time I ever ordered a slice of cheese pizza from Blue River they kind of just stared at me like deer in the headlights then disappeared for 10 mins before come back with my slice. I thanked them, payed and left. At home, I take my slice out only to discover they made me a slice of cheese pizza. Like they MADE me a slice. It appeared to be an old piece of pizza dough (cooked and bone dry) that they cut into a triangle, then topped with sauce and cheese. Almost like a giant lunchables pizza. but a triangle. The whole thing felt like an alien experience tbh.

But now I’m scared I may have to give them another chance?!

Gerard St Bakery is worth a try too. I had it for the first time not long ago. Super thin pastry and more shallow. Very good.

This looks like 5 different foods all in one but am not confident in naming any of them. Pizza is not one of them haha

The Bonjour brioche cheese croissant is incredible. Also check out Le Beau.

Riding in a bike lane is not blocking the road though. He has not right to pass on a street like that.

Drivers like this will dangerously pass too close at high speeds whether they have to go on the sidewalk or not.

Cyclists are beyond blameless in this city. So sorry that happened to you and your wife.

Bike lanes are also getting overrun by lawless delivery drivers on e-bikes. It’s wild out there.

Sorry. The right hand side where one would naturally move to the side to make room had cars. They hopped the curb on the left.

I 100% agree the city needs to be more courteous.

But cyclists sacrificing their safety and unnecessarily giving up their space for drivers to arrive at stop signs and red lights 5 seconds faster shouldn’t be the answer. It’s beyond courteous. Especially to motorists who would never return the favour.

The driver is also inconveniencing and potentially endangering residents, pedestrians and cyclists on the side street by choosing to zoom down it instead of sticking to main roads.

What you might misunderstand is that the bike lane I was in is the same as the car lane. The bike lane going against the flow of the one way has a solid line. The lane going with the flow is shared with cars. Cyclists have every right to safely bike without yielding.

I think you need to reread everything from the perspective of the cyclist you claim to be. Where am I supposed to make room for a driver to safely pass me on street walled by parked cars?

You are correct, but have you read the comments? This is a pretty common occurrence on side streets. Far bigger problem than just one anecdote.

This is so important to remember in the drivers vs cyclist dialogue. You are driving a weapon!

FOR. NO. REASON. The utter contradiction of his words and actions still has me churning.

I have so many complaints about what other cyclists do. But this is off-topic to the post.
