The Second Coming

And what better way to announce my return during this holiday season than to invite comparisons to the resurrection of Jesus Christ?  Hey, at least it ain't Easter.  I'm moderate in my blasphemy.

Eating Out or Let's Talk About Lunch, Baby

Yeah, that's a Salt 'n' Pepa joke.  What of it?

I've enjoyed two exceptional lunches this December.  Earlier in the month, I dined at Canoe.  What can I say that hasn't already been said about this legendary Toronto restaurant?  Nothing, so I won't bother to try - other than to add we saw Rick Mercer waiting in line in front of us.  

Last week, our office took our Christmas lunch at Nota Bene.  The meal was great and the service top-drawer.  If  I had to nitpick, I'd say I found the open concept dining room to be a bit loud.

New Years' Eve will find me at Marcel's on King West following the Raptors game.  My father likes Marcel's quite a bit, although after checking his "records", he advises me we haven't dined there since 2003.  This begs the question: why in the hell is my father keeping records on where we ate five years ago?
