What could be better on a cold winter day than a hotdog and fries, straight from one of the chip wagons lining Queen Street at Nathan Phillips Square? There are plenty of chilled condiments to choose from and some of the trucks offer free gravy. So take a break from those ice skates and load up on some carbs—this snack will keep you going for hours.

My general rule of thumb for how cold is too cold to be outside for very long is:
If the street meat sauerkraut is frozen, it's too bloody cold.
