Best chopped liver in Toronto?

Diamonds Fine Foods near the Promenade Mall - 7700 Bathurst St.

Choose chicken or beef - both available - accompanied by fried onions

Delicious, ungreasy and velvety smooth

(OK, it isn't exactly Toronto - but when you drive a few blocks south and cross Steeles Ave you will have the best CL in Toronto!)

New Pancer's Deli

My earliest Red Pancer memories are date stamped mid 1960s

The deli was across the street from Vic Tanny's at Bathurst & Joicey - now a CoffeeTime

Caplansky's- the emperor has NO clothes

I could never understand how/why Zane's smoked meat deserved such adulation

His PR spin machine is exceptional - from local scribblers to America's foodie oracles, they've all piled on with rave reviews of his artisanal smoke meat

They were swigging the same koolaid

I have eaten at both the Monarch and the new digs, several times, always spotty, and NEVER a really good SM sandwich

Corey Mintz of TorStar fame finally spilled the beans this week, the smoked meat is indedible (NO GOOD) at his own blog this week - http://porkosity.blogspot.com/2011/07/ps-final-word-on-caplanskys-deli.html

Just days earlier the same Mr. Mintz (this time as a Star columnist) devoted tons of attention, and heaped additional praise, on Zane's growth/success phenom- but neglected to mention that the much anticipated fleet of trucks will be distributing sub-standard fare that he wouldn't eat himself

So much for a food writer playing straight with his readership (mind you it is the Star, after all)
