Eat Me is a regular feature about the nooks and crannies of Toronto's restaurant scene, about the amazing restaurants that are––for some reason––criminally underpatronized.

So if I said, "Hey, I know a place where you can get a really good steak––and I mean a really good steak––for less......

Ask Torontonians for an example of Toronto food and you will have an array of different answers. One astute response may be that Toronto specializes in having everything and having it available at your doorstep.

If they weren't construction workers, they could be cast as construction workers in the upcoming Torontoist biopic (simply entitled "Torontoist"). Overheard on St Clair West, around the breakfast hour, here's what the two men said: Construction Worker A: What're ya getting for breakfast? Construction Worker B: I don't know. Something cheap. Like for a couple dollars...ya know? Construction Worker A: Bro, that's why there should be a Buckfast around here. Construction Worker B: Huh? Construction......

Of the limited ways to battle the type of flesh-eating heat wave we're currently experiencing, an ice cream cone might be the most practical. It's at this point in the summer when ice cream should be prescribed, and possibly even provided free from our government. Not only is an ice cream cone much needed relief from the oppressive heat, but it also doubles as an agreeable dessert. This week, Torontoist looks at all the places......
