Caplansky's: What the @#$%^&*?!!!
Is there anyone else here that thinks the beef tongue at Caplansky's is just incredible?
Caplansky's: What the @#$%^&*?!!!
Totally reasonable considering you ordered 14 oz of meat. A regular sandwich is $8. I remember paying nearly $15 for a sandwich at Katz's in NYC, and that's similar to the fresser - pastrami piled real high.
A kid who loves mussels
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll confess that I'm one of those "suits" who spends way too much time there after work. Definitely a better choice than Bier Markt.
I was exactly the same way when I was a kid, I could eat mussels like there was no tomorrow. :D
Evening take-out in the financial district
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good place to grab some delicious late-evening (8 or 9pm) take-out in the financial district (Bay & King area)? I work long hours and everything closes around 6 when most of the workers go home.
Downtown Thai or Korean.. good food and good atmosphere?
I have to second Mengrai - probably one of the only "upscale" Thai restaurants in the city. I had a great meal last time I was there.

Suggestions on where to get quality pork belly in Toronto
There's a Japanese butcher shop at J-town (Steeles & Victoria Park) that serves traditional Japanese cuts of meat. Last I checked, they had some top-quality Berkshire pork belly blocks.
Most Overrated Dishes
Anything pan-Asian fusion. "Panko-encrusted lemon-grass dragon rolls served on a bed of lettuce with a ginger peanut sauce?" No thanks!
Pad thai is overrated, especially since most Thai restaurants aren't even remotely close to authentic and serve the overcooked noodles with that god-awful ketchup sauce.
