lol I may not live in the city, but I know of those places.
Someone thought it was a good idea to fear monger during peak tourist season? lol wtf.
And more lol on "his friend" who so happens to work for the industry!
Greek politics have never made sense to me.
I suggest the all you can eat buffets.
Well, as Ford has proven, there is no limit on what the mayor / council can say publicly. But even Ford isn't this stupid. Also, what I don't think Councillor Geezer doesn't understand is, with respect to Uber, tourists are either going to already have the app or not. I doubt being in Toronto will spur them to suddenly start using the service. Publicizing it really helps too, no such thing as bad publicity, etc etc.
Nice, glad you're liking it here. Stay away from Centreville, but rent a bike from the rental place, it's a great way to explore the island
Cool, thanks. Bike would be great.

mine is still in surprisingly good condition. I don't carry it around on me though so maybe that's why.
You just admit to being #2 at least

Is anyone going to Summerlicious? I am actually want to try one of the restaurant in the list sometime next week for lunch and wondering which I should go to. I am interested in french food and wondering if anyone know a good restaurant to try it out.

I'll be quite happy when those red and white cards no longer exist

Nope, crack down on fraud
Summerlicious is pretty hit or miss, since some restaurants will just half ass it and give you a cheap and shitty dining experience. Trick is to goto restaurants that are well-known enough that they can't risk treating anyone poorly. For French food, safe bets are Splendido or Auberge du Pommier. North 44 is probably fine since it's Mark McEwan's restaurant, but I haven't been.
disgusting opinion
Which restaurants would you recommend? Was thinking of just going to Momofuku since that's one of the few I know and maybe Canoe

Good luck getting a Canoe reso now
I don't know about availability since I don't know the licious schedule, but browsing the list: Auberge, Canoe, Lee's, North 44, 7 Numbers ( although 7 Numbers is not very expensive in the first place, so I don't know why you would need to go there for licious), Bent, Blu, Bymark, Momofuku Daisho, Pangaea, Splendidio, Trevor are probably okay. You'll still probably get worse service than if you just went regularily, but your food will probably be good.
Honestly licious is kind of a scam
Haha yeah, probably not. Probably Momofuku then if that's still possible

Took me 200 calls to Canoe's reso line to get a spot for Winterlicious, but damn was it excellent

I've been to a few and I haven't liked any of these summerlicous places.
Yeah I know some people in the industry, and they all say it's pretty much not worth going most of the time unless you can get into the top tier places.
The dog is above him.
Damn. Fuzzy knows me so well..
What the fuck, this exists?
why would any biker run a red light when any car could easily hit them? That's suicidal
Went to Auberge for Winterlicious a year or 2 ago and thought it was great. But as others have stated this seems to be one of the few exceptions. Some restaurants make it pretty clear that they aren't all that interested, but I've often wondered why they sign up. A lot of (Toronto) businesses seem to struggle with deals.
Their thinking is it's easy to see a car coming and they can judge if they'll make it or not and act accordingly. The problem is they don't look for pedestrians they're about to hit while doing so.

Three way intersection.
I can deal with the fact that they don't have to worry about the fact that any traffic is going to hit them but pedestrians are still crossing. At least let them pass before you try to run right through them.
They do it all the time on the new Queen's Quay cycling right-of-way. It's a pedestrian's worst nightmare.
Especially if the pedestrians are strolling through red lights themselves. Not to mention standing on the bike lanes or walking in the middle of the streetcar tracks.
You gotta be so careful at some of those new intersections, and there are careless people on all sides - cars, bikes, and pedestrians.

I haven't posted on GAF in about a year, and rarely browsed - but happy to see nothing has changed and we still got the regular suspects (asians) in here complaining about weather, burgers, and Korean BBQ. I have returned to aid Team Summer back to glory.
I have been out of the loop on anything Toronto for this past year as I moved to South America (coming back to visit in a few weeks) so if there is anything important I have missed please let me know. I assume the Leafs still suck (and Phil Kessel fat) and Ford is still a crackhead? (And fat)

It's because Licious happens during the lower points of the restaurant business, especially Winterlicious. If you aren't part of Licious during it, you're going to get even lower business since everyone will be going to those restaurants. As for the higher calibre restaurants, they're pretty much forced to participate because of their prestige. They probably get bribed by Licious to make it look good.
Apparently our last holdouts left quite a while ago because the room was unregistered.
But it's up again, feel free to join.
I think it was OT2, I spammed the thread with it for months. In the end, whenever I'd go back to check it, it was (I believe) firehawk and Stet, just sitting there, forever in silence.
Another one as well. But lacking in the production value of a Rachel and Jun sort of channel, of course.
It's obvious, but sad, that Bieber is the most well known person from Canada. I'm not sure if it's good, or it's bad that people don't know who Harper is.

No wonder Firehawk can't finish his goddamn PhD.
Harper is Canada's Bush equivalent, no?
Please be excited.
I got up at 3 am for nothing. NOTHING!
Did he mix up Kanye with Drake?
