Pickle Barrel Coleslaw

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to post this question... I figured the Pickle Barrel is in Ontario, so I'd have the best chance at getting an answer here :)

Does anyone have a recipe for Pickle Barrel coleslaw (or something very, very close)? It's about the only thing I still like at the PB. I've tried different recipes in the past but they always turn out too vinegary etc. I googled, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

recommendations for best value electric stove

I am looking for the exact same information. I have had a gas stove for the last 20 years (Westinghouse) and it's lasted very well, but it's time for a new one and I'm switching to electric so I can move it to clean underneath, and because the electric stoves are almost half the price of gas stoves (I have to be a bit recession-minded these days). I'd appreciate any recommendations too! I have no idea what to look for in an electric stove.

What was your favourite restaurant that went downhill after they solidified their status

My mom and I used to do the same thing back then! Licks in the beach for dinner on Friday. We lived in the beach and I remember those looooong line ups, especially the first year they opened. Their burgers were amazing... and their chili dogs were awesome too! Now the burgers are bland and all the same shape like Harveys. They used to look really home made. I think ever since they started selling their frozen burgers in the supermarkets, they must be using them in the restaurants :(

Best dim sum in Scarborough

I haven't had dim sum in over 10 years! Do you know if Perfect only serves dim sum during the usual times, or is it available on the menu all day? I'd like to find a good restaurant that has a good range of dim sum items on the menu, plus regular Chinese food items for my hubby (he doesnt like dim sum).

Best Churrasco Chicken?

I go to the Portugrill on Danforth Rd. as well and totally agree. The chicken is amazing (and their chicken pasta dish too). It's spotless and the service is wonderful. I actually ordered my cooked Christmas turkey from them a couple of years ago and it was DELICIOUS.

Worst in Toronto

If it's the same Sam, he used to own the Armenian Kitchen in Scarborough, where my husband and his soccer buddies used to go after every practice/game (and he was at my wedding years ago)! I havent been to Ali Baba yet, but thanks for reminding me! It's next on my list :)

Worst in Toronto

Oh no! I love Johnny's burgers and their fries with gravy! It could be nostalgia though... My husband and I went there after our wedding reception because we were hungry! :)

Worst in Toronto

Definitely! We used to go to the Goof after high school dances back in 198.........nevermind :)
Rumour has it, they'd serve students vodka in a teapot for $5... but I was a good girl so I never asked. Lost a few quarters in the jukeboxes though!

Worst in Toronto

I was told the donuts were cooked in the factory, flash frozen, and then heated in the stores. Initial testing showed people found they lost their freshness faster, but when they were fresh they tasted the same as they used to when made in the stores from scratch. I dunno... they're too perfectly formed now. I used to love getting weirdly shaped apple fritters at Timmies :)
