9+Nine is already being revered as the best Chinese in the city (though it is more traditional than Canadian style)

I have heard good things about DaddyO's and their 60s style diner food

and now I tried Tako last night and the Ramen was top notch and the sushi was very good and who can hate deep fried ice cream ]]> ingress http://www.reality-check.ca/threads/340603-Little-pocket-of-yummy-on-Parkland what is for lunch? http://www.reality-check.ca/threads/340007-what-is-for-lunch?goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 16:11:20 GMT whatcha eating today?

Quote:
Goodbye Parkside Pub & Grill, hello Parkside Pub & Smokehouse. The Dartmouth pub is switching its whole menu and installing smokers this week. The new menu will feature a brunch section and a series of smokehouse favourties including ribs, brisket, pulled pork, smoked salmon, as well as a new pasta selection and homemade desserts. Why change? Why not! "We've been thinking about it for a while and there's quite a demand for that kind of stuff, so we tested the market and everyone was overwhelmed so we decided to go full blast with it," says owner Dan Latter. Latter is particularly enthusiastic about the new chicken poutine, which he says people are coming in more than once a week to enjoy.
I've never actually been there. Thoughts? ]]> cohiba http://www.reality-check.ca/threads/340006-Parkside-Pub-amp-Grill-will-now-be-Parkside-Pub-amp-Smokehouse <![CDATA[McDonalds Japan Takes "Super Size Me" to Whole New Level]]> http://www.reality-check.ca/threads/339995-McDonalds-Japan-Takes-quot-Super-Size-Me-quot-to-Whole-New-Level?goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 13:18:58 GMT In Japan, McDonald's Just Super-Sized the Crap Outta French Fries



While McDonald's in many countries is trying (feigning?) to be healthier, in Japan, the fast food chain really doesn't seem to give a crap. If anything, McDonald's is running fast and hard to unhealthy. Super size, Japan!

For the past few weeks, there have been rumors that McDonald's Japan is rolling out a huge size for French fries (which actually is replacing another super large size called "Share Potato"). Today, as IT Media reports, it's finally official. Dubbed "Mega Potato", you are looking at two large size fries in one wide friggin' container.



Two large fries usually cost around the equivalent of US$6 in Japan. These, however, are priced at 490 yen ($4.80) and will be on sale until late June.

But will Mega Potato inspire French fry headaches in Japan?

I get them whenever I'm in FL and then I come home and jones for them! :rant:

It's basically a rolled up pizza stuffed with TONS of cheese and whatever pizza toppings you want. It's probably 10,000 calories, but they are HEAVENLY. Someone must make them around here?!
