The best hand dryer in the city of Toronto

Lollerssssskates :) Hilarious post, Matt!

there is another hand-dryer of particular fortitude worth noting:
Men's washroom upstairs at O'Grady's pub in the Gay Village on Church St. at Maitland, just south of Wellesley. it makes hand washing fun! (and it's so loud you can tell who has washed their hands and who hasn't! fun!)

Yeah Tony, I think I know that one too... it's pretty formidable. But the Tortilla Flats one damn near knocked me outta the room. :)

This is soooooo weird...I just finished reading "Tortilla Flat" by John Steinbeck. "Mulder, just because you read the book and then someone mentioned a restaurant with that name in a blog doesn't mean anything". "Scully, how can you say that, it's all there, the tortilla, the flat, the book...what if I said two days ago, a woman in Salinas, California claimed she saw a UFO shaped like a quesadilla...are you gonna tell me this isn't all somehow related? Hey, You feel like mexican for lunch?" "Mulder, we're in Thailand".

Also at St. Louis on Yonge.

Still doesn't change the fact that these things have a tendancy to aeresolize and distribute contaminants.

Perhaps it comes from headquarters, because the O'Grady's on College and Beverly has the blowing-est hand dryers I ever did see

Only other place I've ever seen that hand-rippling force: Champlain Place in Moncton NB. The hand dryers could destroy a trailer park.

This discussion is totally what I love about blogs... so good!

Does it happen to have a picture of huskies on it and is called something ridiculous like the Xcelorator? We had one in the campus pub bathroom at Laurier and it was amazing. It'd blow the hand stamp right off your skin.

"It'd blow the hand stamp right off your skin"... BEST. LINE. EVER.

The jet-turbine powered hand dryer at O'Grady's on church was there when the place was Wilde Oscars too, if I remember. Which I do, because bad hand dryers is a sign of poor management. The hand dryers at some 401 reststops between here and Windsor are also anemic. One's sense of injustice is heightened with damp hands.

Though Tortilla Flats, between it and Sneaky Dees, they're putting a generation of Torontonians into an early grave with greasy bad food.

These are amazing. I first encountered the "Xcelerator" in Boston in 2003 and was amazed. The ladies in the bathroom were equally impressed at the time, some washing their hands TWICE just to insta-dry them again. I think of it every time I reach for a damp door handle *EW*.

I must see one of these "Xcelerators" you speak of. Though I may end up enjoying myself a bit too much.

I was also going to mention St. Louis at Yonge north of Davisville. However, it sounds like a jumbo jet engine.

It's pretty amusing watching your skin wrinkle under that jet engine, especially after you had couple of "woblly pops" :o

When I saw the title of this post I immediately thought of the Hand Dryer at Still Lounge, which is now Tortilla Flats. By far the only reason to go to Tortilla Flats, that thing is amazing. The best part though, is that it becomes conversation everytime I was at Still. You just had to mention it to the people you were with and anyone that hadn't experienced it would most definitely bring it up after returning from the bathroom.

I can also attest to the amazingly loud, gale force winds blown out of the St. Louis hand dryers. The first time I heard one, I had accidentally leaned into the machine on the way to the sink. Damn thing nearly knocked me over. I think I actually screamed. It *will* dry your hands, however. Dry them good.

I want to get some for the company, I work in Firmenich but, we don?t kow if there are a sales office here in Mexico.
Somebody knows?????
