toronto the carb

tuesday - bag of goldfish.
wednesday - organic walnut bread, fruit and nut bread, lemon loaf.
thursday - apricot bread.
friday - sourdough at c5 (p.s. rom, I am sorry for doubting you. chef corrado will do quite nicely, and the space is magnificent), rustic loaf at JK.
saturday - had to survive on leftover apricot bread.
sunday - so much thuet pastry.
monday - bonus thuet pastry that the waitress gave me because we had some sweet rapport.

Ah yes, the magnificent C5 it truly is, although I must say that its rather claustrophobic and unfinished side entrance does little justice but to leave a film of dusty grit in one's mouth.

Simon, I require your culinary critiquing excellence to solve a dilemna of gastronomic proportions: Mildred Pierce, EPIC (at the Royal York), or Biff's Bistro? In theory, it is a simple decision but the Summerlicious menu makes it not so.

Simon, the reason she gave you the leftover bread is because the restaurant was closing and it would have been thrown out. She perhaps also gave it to you because we had to wait two hours to be seated and three hours for a glass of water! She was trying to make up for it.

mom sounds like someone is jealous because she didn't have rapport with the waitress.

wheels, why those three? discuss.

The decision criteria that led me to those 3 was pretty simple: place that i've never been to, menu that has the conservative variety to appeal to the palette of semi-traditional asian parents, and decent reviews.

Biff's has included its famous "steak frites" on the menu, EPIC has the class associated with the Royal York, and Mildred Pierce is a flyer that i'm taking on thanks to your favourable reviews of it some time ago. Unless those reviews have changed, of course.
