Where to find pulled turkey sandwiches in Little Italy
Olivia's at 53 eventually succumbed to the faults of their Clinton St. location - just a bit too far from the main College St. drag and in a building that blends too much into its residential neighbours.

Artery-clogging burgers arrive at Yonge & St. Clair
The short-lived Retro Burger has been replaced by a new joint with a focus on quality and quantity...but mostly quantity. Not for the cholesterol-averse, the menu here features artery clogging burgers including some stuffed or topped with fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, triple bacon and beer chocolate chili.Read my review of Holy Chuck Burgers in the restaurants section.
