C'est What? Brewing at the Market, St. Lawrence Market, Toronto, ON

Gord and I checked out C’est What?’s new brew pub. It just opened 2 weeks ago and is a cute spot tucked in the southwest corner of St. Lawrence Market. Anne was friendly and took good care of us.

C'est What?, Toronto, ON

Gord and I had a late lunch this afternoon at C'est What? on Front Street E.

Gord had Jambalaya (chicken, chorizo, shrimp and rice in a piquant tomato-vegetable sauce), which he said was spicy.

I had Dijon Chicken (lightly breaded deep-fried chicken strips; with maple-dijon dipping sauce with herbed frites).

Both were good.

Vic was friendly and took good care of us.

"Clyde's", Bluma Appel Theatre, Toronto, ON

Gord and I saw Clyde's this afternoon at the Bluma Appel Theatre. It was good and more intense that I was expecting. The actors played their parts well and the special effect were cool.

Clyde runs a truck stop sandwich shop, staffed by ex-convicts looking for a shot at redemption. Despite her callous management style, the cooks learn to reclaim their lives, find purpose and become inspired to dream by their shared quest to create the perfect sandwich. A buoyant play full of witty dialogue, Clyde’s is a transcendent story about second chances, rising above past mistakes, and reconnecting with the world.

Full of sizzling wit, big heart, and mouthwatering ambition, Clyde’s serves up a thrilling, high-energy ride - think The Bear meets Broadway. Helmed by returning director Philip Akin (The Lehman Trilogy, Fat Ham), an all-star Canadian cast takes on this deliciously funny and deeply moving play.

I had a slice of pepperoni pizza for lunch today at Fresca Pizza & Pasta on College Street (just west of Spadina). It was a busy spot!

It was a busy spot and I sat by the window.

JOEY King Street, Toronto, ON

I had supper this evening with Rona and Liz, my pals of 30 years, at JOEY King Street (on King Street W just east of Yonge Street).

There was complimentary bubbly at the entrance. Yes, pleez!

It's been a while since the three of us have gotten together so it was fun to catch up. Here we are ...

Me, Rona and Liz

Rona had a couple happy hour appies (chips and avocado and satay chicken).

Liz had Tuna Poke.
