Food Yum's & Yuck's Caught Up...

hello all...been far too long a time! hope everyone had a great summer.

so, i'm going to try to remember all the Yum's & Yuck's We've eaten at recently 'cause that's one of the GREAT things that Wifey & i share...the LOVE OF FOOD! yay :-)

first up: today - ARTISANO BAKERY - 865 York Mills

the YUM: coffee...Wifey definitely loved their coffee...a little strong for my liking but tasty

the YUCK: the gross, over-buttered panini sandwiches...Wifey had a Turkey/Bacon/Provolone and i had the Chicken/Feta/Veggie...neither tasted good to Us:

way too much butter for the panini press, far too little feta cheese in my sammie and just overall gross taste to both sammies...yuck

so, lol, clean-up dude comes sailing by to shake the hand of, what he thought, was some kind of important business-like moron only to find out he had it completely wrong! i like it when people make an ass out of themselves...provides me with my daily laugh. same dude comes by our table, gives me the stunned dear-in-the-headlights look when he sees We didn't eat our sandwiches and i told him they did not taste good. total laugh guffaw!

Wifey and i attempt dessert after that disaster but, again, sadly missed the mark with the huge, delicious-looking-but-far-too-dry-dense Carrot Cake.

ok, We've had enough...time to go.

next: GEORGY PORGY'S - 1448 Lawrence Ave E.

the YUM: so far, EVERYTHING but definitely the mussels served in a tangy marinara/garlic sauce with fresh bread on the side...my/Our only complaint: not enough bread! lol

their bloody caesars are mighty tasty too.

the YUCK: nothing, so far

addendum: tried to go there tonight for my mussels dish but there was some major Liberal partying going on...darn...but, no fear...we headed off to another fav place...see below

BIGMAN'S - 1528 Bayview Ave.

the YUM: almost everything...like the Ceasar Salad above...i swear the croutons are made with calabrese bread or something...the salad is a creamy, crunchy delicious dish...We had a medium mushroom/ham/half-pineapple pizza - their pizzas are always great...thin crust, not too much sauce, fresh thin toppings...i only caution that it's not the greatest leftover pizza...ya gotta eat it fresh

the YUCK: nothing really so far but i did have lamb chops there one day and they were very VERY dry and unflavoured

ok...time for night night

later :-)
