Wrap It Up

After an early evening work-out, I was looking for a place to eat. I've been hankering for pizza lately, but Toronto doesn't really have its version of the 99 cent pizza, even if the "high-end" stuff is now excellent. So I was faced with a choice at College and Roxton between Gino's and Pizzaville. I've had Gino's cardboard so that leaves one contender. When I was younger I thought the phrase "Sex is like pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good" was oh so clever. It's a lie, of course. Bad pizza is pretty bad. So I kept walking.

At Ossington, I recalled that College Falalel ranked as the best falalel shop on blog.to. It was also one of the few to carry "East Coast donairs". The idea of a donair doesn't really appeal, but the regular options could be ok. The first thing I noticed was that prices were almost double that of other places for your usual chicken/beef/etc. shawarma, though still south of $10. The sign said 'Made Fresh' and certainly the ingredients looked home-made (for example, the hummus was chunkier than the perfectly smooth paste). My shish-kebob ($6.99) was reasonably tasty chicken breast and the usual onions, parsley, pickled cabbage, and so on. They also carried a variety of other dishes including Middle-Eastern desserts and fried goods.
