Rainbow Chicken at Salad King, from left to right: three chillies, ten chillies, twenty chillies. How many Salad King chillies are you? Fans of this long-standing, popular Thai restaurant next to Ryerson campus know exactly how hot they like it. All dishes on the menu can be customized according to their “Spicy Scale” that starts [...]

Dalton McGuinty plans to form a committee to look for ways of replacing the daily recitation of the Lord’s Prayer at Queen’s Park, a practice which he says does not properly reflect Ontario’s diversity. The Lord was unavailable for comment. If you’re planning a trip to Thailand, don’t forget sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and a lightweight [...]

Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It’s our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

But Borat seems to have missed most of the -ist cities, and we were all wondering how the film would have been different if he’d made his way around the world on the -ist [...]

This has been a rough week for your -ist pals, though you wouldn’t know it from the great posts all over the network. Plagued with server problems, our tech team (led by the great Neil Epstein) toiled around the clock to solve the glitches as they arose. Seriously, we’ve said, typed, and thought the phrase [...]
