Shake Shack isn't bad at all. That said, I'd still prefer places like Holy Chuck, which I hope finds a new downtown location in the near future.

Retail Insider had a part to the Shake Shack story that wasn't elsewhere: Beauleigh is representing the brand's expansion.
"Beauleigh is the real estate brokerage representing Shake Shack in Canada. The plan is to open approximately 35 locations, starting with a flagship location in Toronto in 2024. We are in active discussions with landlords and excited to work together to bring this exceptional hospitality group to the Canadian market."

What kind of retailer is looking for a space this size at King and Yonge these days? Shoppers, Rexall, Longos, etc. are all already within a block.

Shake Shack is solid, but IMO nothing to get too excited over. I've had it a couple of times in the U.S. and by the time you convert to Canadian $$ you're paying like 27 bucks for a burger, fries and a shake.

I see Pizza St. Tropez which opened last fall downtown is getting some publicity now.

The name notwithstanding, this is a Japanese pizza chain.
Of course, I've been waiting for UT's pizza guy to review it......but if he has, I missed @AlbertC 's review.

This is apparently their best seller:
mozzarella, bacon and mochi that has absorbed the flavours of the mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce.
That, and this one below, I definitely need to have Albert review before I consider it:
Cod roe mixed with mayonnaise and topped with potato, bacon, nori and corn

Don't know (you might think so, as apparently the recipes are all unchanged from the original Japanese locations).
The website needs some refinement. They actually don't post the ingredient lists at all; and their links to FB and Twitter are no good.

Goes to show the variation of taste, the places listed above, I would rank Blondies number one.
But that's only cause that Honey, jalapeno, pepperoni is truly awesome.
Lots of good places not listed.
On anything from San Remo @interchange42 is the undisputed authority.
