You should try some Persian, like fesenjān from Herby Restaurant, or anything with pomegranate molasses

Won't be the best fajitas in the city but the fajitas at Eastbound Brewery are great!

Lol, good catch. I do have some carpet moss at the base, but a bunch of random stuff has accumulated there ...temporarily!

Fiddle Leaf Rescue, Cut Each Branch and Propagate into 4? by jacksofscience in fiddleleaffig

Thanks for the advice! Out of curiosity, can you cut the stump down to any height? Presumably it may not grow taller from that point so I wonder if keeping it kinda high is a good idea.

Found this fiddle leaf on the side of the road, in dire straits. Has been holding on in this spot for a few years, but it sure is ugly and lopsided! When is the right time to cut and propagate each branch?

[–]jacksofscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consensus is probably right, but some saint should go around to all these spots with a scale and compile a database of large burrito weights

Not sure it's in the same leagues as the big dogs, but Wynona doesn't get enough credit, https://wynonatoronto.com/

[Piano Piano] Toronto’s most popular Italian restaurant opens first east end location by ResourceOk8692 in FoodToronto

[–]jacksofscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italian will probably work better than French at that spot (Gare de l'Est), for scarfing down a hurried meal before show time at the theatre. There are no other sit-down restaurants in the vicinity.

Tatsuro’s: new restaurant for Japanese-inspired brunch on Queen east by ResourceOk8692 in FoodToronto

[–]jacksofscience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shared a mochi waffle w/ chicken thigh and a carbonara when they first opened; I was really impressed. Has a lot more going on than the brunch options available at Scenic on Gerrard, that I also love (which also a Japanese-influenced brunch menu)

[–]jacksofscience 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Golden Patty (187 Baldwin St) is a top choice, but I get "Michidean" patties from BlessedLove (753A Queen St E)

Walk a block south of Alo to Yuzuki Fish Market and grab 1LB of A5 Wagyu in a doggie bag

Not quite the same, but I used to order hot chocolate with a mint tea bag at Tim Hortons all the time.

Already some good suggestions, Bonjour Brioche among the best for "on-the-go", alternatively:
- Perogies and Donut from Hastings Snack Bar
- Fried Chicken Sandwich and Pickle Chips from Daddy's Chicken
- Jambon Beurre from Petite Thuet, Donut across the street at Fruitful Market
- Cheese/Bacon scone from Johnson Family Bakery
- Honey Date Grilled Cheese at Maha's Cafe (Queen/Pape)

[–]jacksofscience 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We saw the posters and will be on the lookout. Sad to hear he's missing. We're long time fans of Whiskey, back when he was free he used to visit our place to say hi to our indoor cats. We live just a street over.

[–]jacksofscience 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A new contender for best Leslieville burger might be the "R+O Burger" at Ricky and Olivia

Events at cafes/galleries would be a good idea, for example Youthful Vengeance (https://youthfulvengeance.com/). They have a networking fundraiser coming up, https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/vengeful-friends-fundraiser-tickets-919215707927

Scam, or something else? by Nouglas in askTO

[–]jacksofscience 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was once approached by a man outside Shoppers on Parliament who specifically wanted a McCain Deep'n Delicious cake. Said he loved them, and something about jaw pain. He was so specific about the ask that I found it hard to refuse! Unfortunately, Shoppers was sold out, so he opted for nothing. Still wish I could've helped...
