Christine: Great suggestions! I do get up to Markham sometimes, so I’ll try your recommendations!

I agree with you about Albert’s — the food is fabulous. Love the oxtail stew.

Tempus (Yonge/College) has excellent middle eastern food — flavourful koobideh (kabaobs), soups and fessenjoon (chicken in pomegranate sauce).

For vegetarian stuff, highly recommend 668 and Budha’s on Dundas just east of Bathurst. The fake meat, and rice with ginger and pine nuts (sounds odd but very delicately flavoured) is really good at Graceful in Markham – it is quite a hike to the ‘burbs but the food is as cheap as downtown Chinatown and the surroundings way lovelier. Falafel is another great veggie option, although the best place is Sababa at Bathurst and Steeles.

hmm…I’ve never been to Toronto but some of my mom’s cousins live there. Since I’m a poor American I may need to share meals with ya. The Canadian dollar is too rich for my blood!

I need to print this the next time I’m in Toronto! I love sushi and pho.

Our next-door neighbour usually drinks all of our beer, so it would make a change.

Actually if you’ll peel the potatoes and complain about too many bay leaves, he won’t need me any more – so you can have my beers!

A “Toronto Blogger Brunch Meetup” would be fun, definitely let us know when/if you’ll be in TO FT.

Elaine: High praise, I’ll definitely try FRESSEN

guinness: So… when can we come over to sample this fantastic Indian food? Please don’t read the last line of this comment.

Mike: I *may* have an opportunity to drink all of someone else’s beer for a change…

MDJ – maybe you can get one of those electronic voice disguisers as well?
