Best old school speakeasy type bars in Toronto?
This is slightly off topic, but trying to remember the name of a vodka bar we went to. It was all Russian decor, and may have been near Starfish (ate there earlier). This kind of fuzzy by then but I remember Russian music with some Madonna-type dance stuff mixed in.....hmm

Been out of the loop, what's new and exciting and not too far from the Royal York
I'll be in town for a conference, and am looking for something on a Wednesday night.
Am looking for something with a casual vibe but interesting food. Price is a non-issue.
It will be a small (5-10ppl) mixed work crowd (old/young/adventurous and not so much)
I realize this is a pretty non-specific request, but im just hoping to see whats new and exciting in town these days. Of course I'll be checking out the Toronto board for the next couple of weeks.
Any opinions and idea would be appreciated...
thanks

Hamilton Lunch?
Looking for a kid-friendly place for a quick lunch in the downtown area on Saturday, maybe somewhere close to Hamilton Place. Just about anything would work but was hoping for something a little different.
Thanks

Haldimand part 2
Hey There,

The Beach House in Dover is pretty good too, with a great view
Cheers
Help in Haldimand
Have to say it's pretty slim pickins around this area. Im from Port Dover/Turkey Point area and haven't found much to brag about either. If you havn't tried Belworth House in Waterford, it's amazing, but bit of a drive from your area. Have a reservation at Twisted Lemon for next week and have heard good things. i'll let ya know!. Sad because there is soo much amazing meats and produce from this area, especially in the summer. Good luck in your search. We mostly have to enjoy great food at home. cheers

Need Some Ideas!!--"Hot Lime Pickle"
Recieved a jar of this product from a friend who was visiting England, and I don't know how to use it.
It's made by a company cal Butterworth and sons. Not too sure if it's a condiment or a cooking sauce?
I'll keep investigating, just want to be sure to get the most enjoyment from it lol'
Any help would be great

Need Help Finding Resto for a Group in The Downtown Core
Looking for a place for a work Christmas dinner for about 16 people. The group is made up of both young and old and both adventurous and boring eaters. So nothing too "exotic". Money is not really an issue, but nothing too fancy as the plan is to be semi-casual. I know this is kinda complicated, but any help would be appreciated. Thanx
Bacon... on the bbq???
iIuse the cheap disposable tinfoil type of pans from the grocery store. Something with a bit of a lip on it to avoid a fire if it gets dripping too much, as I have found sometimes happens with tinfoil. Take it off the heat when done and dispose of when cool. Easy and mess free.
Horse Meat
It's readily available in Quebec, available in may grocery stores and restaurants aswell.
Also a few places in Toronto. I'd say it's sililar to a venison, enjoyed a few carpaccios.
After Concert Drinks/Eats near Pheonex(sp?) Concert Hall??
Yes!! Should be an awesome show!! Too bad about the area's drink/food prospects.
Have to do something similar after the show........
After Concert Drinks/Eats near Pheonex(sp?) Concert Hall??
This will be a tuesday night if that helps......
Around the World in 80 Beers
There's a place in Simcoe that has the whole engraved plaque deal for finishing their beer list. I realise it's far from T.O., but just reminded me of the place. It's a pub/Thai place??
In search of "different" turkey stuffing for x-mas!!
want to switch things up a bit, and have never tried anything but the traditional bread crumbs etc.
maybe sausage or osters?? thanx
So Hounds, How many Beers?
Thanx for the concern, but was just wondering because most of the people I associate with are heavy drinkers, which isn't exactly a great overall viewpoint.
I figured 5-6 is pretty average for your average guy to feel "happy" after work on a friday. Also I don't drink at all 5 or 6 months of the year, so no it's never a problem.
So Hounds, How many Beers?
The reason I asked was cuz I'm quite often looking for more after 12 are gone, maybe the 15 pack is the way to go. I'm also more "grown-up" these days, but in the past have been able to drink a case (24) over a mid-morning to midnight day.
Good restos in Hamilton (updates, please!)
Whilr not really a "chowhound" style of choice, I just had a tasty lunch at the limeridge mall food court (no kidding). forget the name but it's the shwarna place. Great food and friendly staff
Most Overrated Beer?
Without a doubt, LUCKY Lager is the best beer in the world, I dont want any arguments, its final, done, the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Hounds, How many Beers?
was just doing some self-refleting, and was wondering how many beers/drinks does everyone consume over the course of an evening of dinner and so on? Me I seems to be on the "alot" side of things yikes
Beer Hangovers
How much beer are we talking?? That's the major factor here.
I can have a 12 pack of the finest brew ever brewed (busch), and feel fine every morning. Being an amateur is also an issue.
