The Original BBQ Phil-osophy
Phil doesn't mince words. He describes his barbeque as "real smoke. real slow. real good." That's his story and he's stickin' to it. And brother, he ain't lyin.'
Since good barbeque is a rarity in this city (and, in fact, in most Canadian cities), I was rip rarin' to go and sink my teeth into some of the smoky, slow-cooked goodness I'd been promised at Phil's Original BBQ. Always wanting to sample as much as possible, I decided immediately on the BBQ combo - with ribs, chicken and brisket, plus coleslaw and baked beans on the side. (Naturally, I shared this $20 feast with my dining companion, who added a side of fries to our already over-sized order.)
As expected, Phil's is the kind of food that insists you eat until your plate is clean, regardless of how full you get along the way. Every morsel on the plate was savoured before we put down our forks and cleaned our fingers with a sense of finality, accomplishment, and satisfaction.
However, although I enjoyed my own dinner, I couldn't help noticing that nearly all the other diners in the modest restaurant were ordering pulled pork sandwiches. Had we just missed out on Phil's signature dish?
I think a return trip is in order.

as for chinese bbq, the best is hong fatt on dundas.. i've eaten at T&T a few times, and it's good, but not in the same league as hong fatt.
I went there over the weekend. Good food but slightly overpriced.
I have recently got a new laptop with windows 7 and Norton security but within days mystery emails were being sent from my hotmail address seemingly to everyone in my contact list. The email is the same each time. I have ran a full system scan as thought it might be a virus but nothing was found any ideas what to do to stop this?
