Gord and I had lunch today at the Local Public Eatery in Liberty Village.

Gord had BBQ Rice Bowl (Korean BBQ-style pork in ginger, garlic and soy sauce, fried egg, pickled onion, citrusy cabbage, cilantro and spicy mayo). It's the first time he's had it and he like it.

I had Malaysian Curry Bowl (Grilled chicken, coconut curry, cilantro scallion slaw and fresno chilies). I've had it before and it's good.

Dallis and Shannon were friendly and chatty and took excellent care of us.

Gord and I had supper this evening on the patio at the Local Public Eatery (in Liberty Village).

We both ordered That Crispy Chicken Sandwich. I got mine with no coleslaw and tomato and fries and he got his with onion rings.  It was a good sandwich but there was a weird smoky taste (maybe from the BBQ mustard sauce?) I wasn't crazy about.

Gord and I had supper this evening at the Local Public Eatery (in Liberty Village).

Despite the rain, it was a fairly nice night so we sat on the patio ... there were heaters in the ceiling.

I ordered the Local Burger (which I've had many times) without cheese, onions or lettuce and asked to have pickles added.  The burger was good as were the fries.  I found the gravy a bit too salty.

Gord usually has lunch every Friday at the Local Public Eatery (in Liberty Village). Today is the last day for indoor dining in Ontario (due to COVID restrictions) for a while so we had lunch there.

I was comfortable as they had protocols in place. We had to show our vaccination certificates and ID when we arrived, the staff were masked and there was physical distancing.

Gord has lunch every Friday at the Local Public Eatery (in Liberty Village) ... he likes it there and he's gotten to know the staff.

Today I joined him!  With our COVID numbers rising here in Ontario, I was hesitant to be out at a restaurant but was okay when I saw the protocols the Local took when we arrived.  We had to show our vaccination certificates and ID when we arrived.

As of 12:01am this morning, restaurant and bar patios are open again.  Yay!

It was sunny and warm and Gord and I had lunch on the patio at the Local Public Eatery (in Liberty Village) ... the first time in more than six months!  Everyone was socially distanced and the servers wore masks.

Beer always tastes better outside on a patio!

Gord and I had lunch today on the patio at the Local Public Eatery (in Liberty Village).  

He's been having lunch there on Fridays for the last month and I've been working so haven't been able to go.  Today it was sunny and 17C and probably the last nice patio day 'til next year ... so I went along with him today.

We both ordered the Deluxe Burger.

Gord got his with no tomatoes and a side salad.

Before seeing Die Hard at the Cinesphere at Ontario Place, Gord and I had supper this evening at the Local Public Eatery (in Liberty Village).

I ordered Mom's Chicken Pot Pie.  It was freshly made for me and hot hot hot.  It was good and filling and I'd get it again.
