Restaurant Comings & Goings

meh... screw all the high-end eateries, Dangerous Dan's puts them all to shame

My roommate goes there a few times a year, their menu is truly outrageous. The truest definition of heart attack on a plate.

Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere, but Jamie Kennedy at the Gardiner is closing next week.

Actually, no.

Yeah i read about Jamie Kennedy at the Gardiner closing in the paper. too bad i loved that spot.

"As of June 8, our à la carte restaurant at the Gardiner will no longer be operating on a daily basis," Jamie Kennedy said. "The Gardiner Café will take its place, offering light refreshments every day."

Hard Rock Cafe at Rogers Centre is not renewing their lease.

I thought Hard Rock left that location years ago.

It would be nice to see it become a relatively affordable restaurant.

Yeah. For old time's sake, call it "Stoodleigh's"

Was that the sign that was on the side of Exhibition Stadium for years? It was written in "Simpson's"-like script.

 

[adma]

You've got it.

The Elvis is to die for, as is the Cereal Killer. I'll get an urge to order some delivery every couple months or so. Under the influence of much alcohol I have also ordered both the Coronary and Quadruple C (on separate occasions); the former left me inert for nearly four hours while the latter knocked me out before I could even leave a dent in it.

Strange tho, my family doctor still can't figure out why my blood pressure is as high as it is.

24 June 2009 photo update

Meanwhile, up at 984 Dundas St West of Beatrice, fans of my "What Toronto Street is this?" photo thread may recall me posting this photo on 16th June:

Well, I finally popped by today for an Intelligentsia Americano, and can confirm a few interesting facts about the cafe:

1)It's owned by that Peter Primiani, of Toronto house music institution/DJ duo Peter & Tyrone.

2)It's to be called "The Communal Mule Cafe"

3)Peter is a really cool/chatty guy

4)I love the reclaimed wood and vintage furnishings/interior!

5)The coffee is damned good

Opening night at 'dining in the dark' restaurant O. Noir.

 

[JasonParis]

Awesome picture. It sort of says it all.

Were you there? How was it?

 

[androiduk]

Sorry Darkstar, I wasn't there. Just having a little fun.

If you look closely, you can see androiduk naked in that photo.
