It seems Toronto had a nee seafood oriented food truck downtown. I don’t know if they have poutine, but it is still worth checking put. http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/opening-daily-dish/2012/05/30/introducing-busters-sea-cove/

I saw this nifty tarted up taxi cab the other day. There’s even a chandelier in it. Would you get in it?

The Big Apple – revisited

This family day weekend I had occasion to cruise down the 401 and drop into The Big Apple restaurant. You may have seen it on the south side of the 401 near Colborne.

The restaurant is really a small pie and cake factory, but it also makes French fries, which qualifies it for this site. I was however, there for the apple pie. I have previously tried the traditional apple pie, and it was quite uninteresting, but this time we tried the caramel apple pie, which has a crumble topping, it’s quite tasty you should check it out.

I took a look at the fries and poutine offerings, while I didn’t try them they didn’t look appealing, and certainly weren’t up to chip stand quality. I think I’ll stick to their apple products.

Civic Hybrid Owner Wins Small Claims Court Battle Against Honda, Awarded $9867 (via MOTOR TREND iPhone App)

Here is an interesting article about the power of small claims court. This story is about a Honda owner who’s hybrid didn’t provide anywhere close to the advertised fuel economy. The owner went to court and won the case. Of course Honda will appeal. Kind of makes me happy I have a plain old gas powered car.
