United Bakers Dairy
The United Bakers Dairy was once a pillar of Jewish Spadina but it moved uptown years ago with its clientele, into this big, buzzing space where you can get a thick, sweet, rich cabbage borscht among the daily specials. Soup like this should be a right, not a choice.

No use arguing with someone whose opinions differ from my own. I could probably name a restaurant that I hate and it might be your favourite. I've never considered United a "deli" just an old style restaurant filled with the most unusual characters in town. Sometimes the floorshow alone is worth the price of the free admission. If I wanted a "deli" I would probably go to Pancer's. I have sat down to a meal at United once but I do make regular use of the take-out counter as do many others. At busy times the take-out line goes out of the front door. Terrific soups and the best traditional cherry cheesecake!
I have gone to UB all my life with my family and friends and solo-I detest,loathe pretencious chowhound,or Yelp,blogtoronto foodie snobs: to name a few favorites of mine: #1-a bitch called "Kageamusha",an anti-semite,#2-Duckdown from brampton,a schmuck,#3-Vinnie Vindamangi,a putz,#4-Charles Yu, #5-Embee, #6-Morty: why don't you have some pan fried marmot steak with roasted Oleander and poison sumac in baneberry sauce,or try this soup of the day: Cream of spider and tarantuala in garlic flavored tulip broth??!! Or try this: monkshood,panda,mountain lion stew,with bosco-flavored mandrake roots!? Or,try this: Southern Fried Whooping Crane??! Or,last but not least: 1000 pound OWL PIE!!!

I love UB,my family,friends and I go there all the time-they are now currently celebrating their 100th anniversary,long may they continue to serve wonderful soups,blintzes,Kasha,noodles and cheese,rice pudding,etc for another century. UB will still be a legend in the hearts of Jews in Toronto long after you have crumbled to dust.
What an asshole!
