Lucky Dip – Friday, October 21st, 2011

Yikes! A Pusateri’s location was shut down yesterday due to an infestation of rats and roaches. [Toronto Star]

Conservatives – they’ve got a way of ruining everything.

Above is the soon-to-be-infamous duck confit French toast from Origin (107-109 King Street East).
