| Pulled Chicken Sandwich Platter |
This may be the first Toronto Winter in my 46 years of life that plain wasn't. I can count on one hand the number of days that have been bitterly cold (below -10 C). And next week, we may be getting temps that would be normal for late May/early June...the low 20s!
On Wednesday, I used my lone outing of the neighbourhood to meet up with The Wild Guy and The Egg for lunch at our usual haunt of The Memphis Smokehouse at Yonge & Sheppard. The last time we were up there was back in January when there was that one rare day of cold. Two days ago, it was a Spring stroll down Yonge. The restaurants, including the Smokehouse, were opening up their patios for lunch.
Instead of the Pulled Pork Lunch, I went with the Chicken platter instead. Still mighty good with the BBQ sauce slathered all over and through the meat. Of course, I had the artery-hardening gravy with my fries for an extra loonie. Our waitress was our usual one; she had me pegged immediately as soon as I came in and asked whether I was eating alone today or whether my buddies were showing up, too. That earned her the tip right away.

The three of us didn't get too political. Instead, we just went technical with the advent of the iPad 3 (more evolution than revolution we all agreed) and about getting that casino for Toronto (absolutely disagree). It was a short get-together since The Wild One had to return to work up the street. But for someone like me who now keeps things literally at home, I appreciated the short burst of parole.
