Portrait Project: I'm Your (Hot Dog) Man
Sarah Lazarovic—curator of the garage-based Montrose Portrait Gallery of Canada—is painting a portrait of a Torontonian every day. Each Monday, we'll feature one of those portraits here.
Leonard Cohen thinks Mike's serves up the best hot dogs in town (we thought he'd be all about Buddha Dog!). He's known to take friends and fans down to the John Street doggery for a bite. On a recent snack-finding mission, Mike's friendly man at the grill was aware of his stand's celebrity endorsement, but diplomatically stated that his is just one of many great hot dog carts in the city.

I love this feature. It reminds of the National Portrait Gallery in London which combines art with biography, so that you can appreciate the beauty of the painting but also learn about the life of the subject. Fascinating.
Anything Lenny says is gospel to me! I'm gonna go try one of these hot dogs...
It's the late Izzy Asper, resurrected as a mild-mannered hot dog salesman!
