Review - Chubby's Fish & Chips

I few weeks ago, I did a write up about the burgers at Chubby's...and I had mentioned that I was going to have the fish and chips the next time I went. Well, that was last night! My buddy Dave and I have an agreement, that if either of us wins at the track (from feeding the ponies), then dinner is on them...share the wealth, so to speak.

From the last visit, it was my obligation to treat him for dinner -- again, we weren't disappointed. We had the halibut and chips, which, were perfect. They were a little pricey (cost me $28 for both of us - no beer), but well worth it. The fish is deep fried, and wasn't greasy at all. The fries were perfect, the way that all fries should be cooked! Only thing I would have liked, is if the fish was a little hotter. The lineups at this place are unreal for a Friday night around dinner time. Might be worth looking into for a late dinner during the week, when they might not be so busy. Somehow though, I doubt that they even get a rest mid-week, if the food is as good as it is. If you want to have an order of the old style fish and chips, check out Chubby's in Toronto (Islington and Rexdale).

Review - Chubby's Fish & Chips

Been a few days since I had an entry here, so here it goes. My buddy Dave and I headed to Toronto for our usual Friday night excursion to the ponies at Woodbine. But, before we hit the track, he took me out for a bite to eat for my birthday next week! Well, what a place he picked. Chubby's Fish & Chips was a great place to get a burger (the fish looks great, and we will be trying it next time). We both had the banquet burger and fries, which was loaded with back bacon, and I could hardly get my mouth around it. I would rank this burger between the old Lick's Homeburger (from a few years ago before they went to preformed patties) and the new Lick's Homeburger. For those of you that don't know me, Lick's is my favourite burger place. Anyways, Chubby's has me hooked, with the burgers, and real fresh cut fries. The old fashioned kind that Swiss Chalet and Harvey's used to make! If you are in the Islington/Rexdale area, check out Chubby's, you won't be disappointed.

Review - Eat-a-Pita, Hamilton

One of my favourite places to eat during the week, is Eat-A-Pita, on King Street in Hamilton. For $1.99, you get a delicious falafel. I usually pick up 2 for dinner on the way home from work. Make sure you ask for it loaded, and don't forget the hot sauce!
They also have shawarmas, a deal at $7.99 for 2. Keep in mind that these are the Sun-Thurs prices, and they go up for the weekend.

Best Sandwich in Town? Duarte's is Up There...

On the way home tonight, I had to indulge in something for dinner. Since I was coming from work, the best plan I had was to hit this place on Barton Street in Hamilton, called Duarte's Supermarket. The owners are European, and they make one of the best sandwiches around. They call it the "Hefty Hoagie", and is various cold meats, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and M&M (mustard and mayo), all on a crusty Italian bun. Cost? Get ready....$2, taxes included. Can't get a better sandwich deal in town, and if there is one, let me know!
