“Scarborough’s Most Famous Burger” – Johnny’s Burgers, Scarborough

Like many cities, Toronto has experienced a burger craze of late. Here’s a reminder that way before it became cool there was a place that dedicates itself heart and soul to the simple hamburger.

Going to Johnny’s Burgers can feel a little soup-Nazi-ish (don’t even think about losing your ticket) but the service is fast and the burgers are good.

“This Latté’s Rosetta is Good to the Last Drop” – Te Aro Coffee, Toronto

So I’d hear about this new coffee shop in Leslieville and decided to check it out a while ago.

The barista at Te Aro made me this kick-ass latt?? with a rosetta so solid it damn near imprinted itself on the bottom of the mug. Now that’s craftsmanship!

Check out Te Aro online or in-person – I recommend the latter…and the latt??. (Ha! – Did you see what I did there? Did ya? Did ya?…yeah I’m lame.)

This one adds to the series I started with my “Referential-ness-ness” post on June 15th.

That’s right, I’m going to out-postmodern the postmodernists.

1, 2, 3…ART WAR!!!
