Pizza Review @ Boston Pizza In Gravenhurst

                  This is the second of Food reviews and this time it is the Boston Pizza in Gravenhurst, Ontario. The last day of vacation, my dad and I stopped in Gravenhurst to look at the Segwun and Wenoah II cruise boat and we had a milkshake to cool off but followed with Boston Pizza. The Meateor is what I had which had with ham, sausage and cheese and it was spicy. My mouth was hot after but honestly it was really good pizza and I enjoyed every moment of the pizza. We got the small which has 8 slices so 4 slices each and it was filling enough as the medium would be way too much for the two of us and we would be bringing the rest of it home with us.

                  The pizza was soft, chewy and so good and it didn't last, it was amazing. It is hard to explain how good it was. It was that really good and I would give the pizza a 10 out of 10. The service was really good too, our waitress was really good. That is what is important when it comes to service. Good food, good service, great company and I do not know why I said that. I know my reviews aren't that good but it is not meant to be a long, long post. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you tomorrow on another post that is going back to the grind of things for you guys, so have a great rest of your Wednesday!

Fish and Chips Food Review (Tobermory, Ontario)

                        As I continue to talk about my vacation away, today's blog is a food review and is one of two food reviews. I am excited to be bringing you guys this but first this place came to the back of our mind as the other fish and chips place was busy. I do not even know the name of the place but it is near the Peacock's Foodland at the end of the road. It's a small little place and I think it only outdoors and take out. I cannot even remotely find the name of the place but cute quaint place for fish and chips. It was called "All You Can Eat Fish and Chips."  I had the White fish and chips. The fish was nice and soft and tender and melts when you put it into your mouth. It was really, really good fish and chips. Craigie's which unfortunately they do not do fish no more, it's more a breakfast place now.

             Now the fries that came with it was nice and crispy and they were good. I added vinegar which is very rare when it comes to french fries, I'm usually a ketchup guy which I'm usually a ketchup guy which I'm at home but this time around I changed things. Anyways the meal alone I would give a 10 out of 10 as it was amazing meal. It didn't seem like much and I am glad I went with the one piece fish as it was a good size but either way amazing. Only thing that they didn't keep the skin but I use to hate the skin on the fish but I really do not mind the skin. If you are in the area visiting to check it out but I'm sorry that I do not have the actual name but it was good either way and I will talk to you all tomorrow for another food review.

Pizza, Pizza @ Toronto Union Review [The Return!]

                  YES! 3.5 years later and I have returned. I would of done it sooner but COVID happened and I wasn't able to return to do another review to see if anything changed. However I have good news and bad news on this review. First the good news, the pizza wasn't burnt nor cold and was perfect, hot and gooey and really great, no complaints whatsoever with it at all. I was very happy with it. It is most definitely a good changed from 3.5 years ago but you have to remember it was fairly new when I was there 3.5 years ago as the food court at Union Station so it was a new Pizza Pizza, however I am very happy on the change but there is a downpart to it. 

                 The down part was they had no drinks to go with your meal and I wasn't impressed whatsoever and I had to go to the corner store at the York Concourse to get a drink so I am not happy on that whatsoever. I already mentioned it in a feedback email and at this point, I have given up trying, yes they improved but there was that one issue and at this point I have to give it a 8 out of 10 rating cause of the drink situation and at this point. I wanna move on with other reviews but at least I can give a review and it's 80% 8 out of 10 = 80% so it is a positive end to what was a dissastified review from years ago, it was 0 out of 10 from 3.5 years ago. You guys been asking for this review and there you go, that is the end result and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Fiesta Week 2022

                Tuesday, I got the privlege of going to the Polish Pavillion, the one that was closer to home for us. My dad and I went and I had the Perogies, Shish kebab and a Polish Sausage while he had a  cabbage roll, Polish Sausage and Perogies. I can say this the perogies were so soft and tender. It was so good and delicious. The Shish Kebab fell apart when I bit into the kebab and was so juicy and really, really awesome. When we went into the door the smell was so awesome so I knew right off the bat that the food was going to be amazing. I had no doubt about that whatsoever. We took the food down to the lake to eat it and then followed by a walk down at the lake to help digest the food.

                Now Thursday, which was yesterday I went to the Italian Pavillion with my parents and they had lasgna and my dad had the rice balls that was breaded. My mom just the Lasgna alone. I had no issues with the sauce or pasta whatsoever. The only issue was the one Meatball were a little harder on the outside, bland but the other one was better so that is the only issue I really had with the meatball at the time. So I am afraid I cannot give a full 10 out of 10 but I can give it an 8 out of 10 due to the meatball was hard and I wasn't overly happy with it. That is today's post, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week update.

Burrito Bar Chicken Taco Review

                 I have probably done this before with a different review about this place to eat or grab a bite to eat.  Anyways this was back in December and I was with Eric and it was one of my adventures . Anyways I decided to try the Chicken Taco and I thought originally, ok it was going to be ground chicken which I was expecting but it was shredded up chicken either from a whole chicken but it wasn't. Now I had a lot of things, lettuce, tomato, sour cream on it, onions I think but it was good but not my favorite. I probably not do it again and that's OK to be feeling like this to be honest. 

                In the future, I plan on doing other reviews at the Burrito Bar and I know there is other things I would like to try out and maybe a Taco Bell Review or something every know and then but I can ensure there will be some. I know this blog is very, very short and I am sorry for a late post and it is not up to it's most upmost usual standards of a post and usually it's a tad longer then it is right now but tomorrow I promise to update you guys and make the post a tad bit longer then tonights but anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Wendy's Baconator Food Review

                     A week ago I was with Eric and both of us decided to go to Wendy's for lunch as 2 years ago was when things started to lock down on us and we decided to go back 2 years later. So I ordered the Baconator Combo which came with fries and a drink. Fries were great as always, and Wedny's always has good fries, not too salty. The burger was awesome, two burger pattis with Cheese, ketchup and a white sauce I have no clue what it was to be quite honest. However it was an awesome burger and cannot go wrong with Wendy's burgers and I think it is on the top 3 list of mine along with Mr. Burger still the # 1 burger place then Wendy's and Harvey's. 

                 Was a really juicy and messy burger and messier it is the better it is honestly. I am giving Wendy's a 10 out of 10 for the burger and fries which was amazing and I enjoyed it and honestly it didn't last that long as I was starving I had a smoothie in the morning then Wendy's at around noon hour. Anyways I plan on doing other reviews like this in the very nearby future especially at Wendy's I will be sure to try something different next time around but I can say this that food reviews are back so stay tune for more and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Old Spaghetti Factory Review

                This was going back at least 22 years ago this actually ties into the review I did about Mamma Mia Musical on stage. Because before we went to the show, we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner and I remember they have or had an old streetcar that you can sit in and I believe we sat in one of those for dinner if I remember correctly. I probably had something simple for dinner like Spaghetti and Meatballs with Garlic bread but all I remember it was soooo good! I've been thinking about this for a while wanting to go back if you think of it I was like 12 or 13 years of age at the time and in 8th grade so talk about major deja vu honestly. Food was awesome I can tell you that and I really enjoyed the food, I'd give it a 10 out of 10 all day long.

                  I know it's still open despite the pandemic which is great as it has become an iconic place to eat in Toronto and still open and running in Toronto so post pandemic I need to make a trip back there and try something different on the menu and it has been a very long time since I was there last with my parents and maybe if theirs a show we go to we could definitely go back but amazing food and a amazing experience when it comes to the Old Spaghetti Factory. I highly recommend it if your in Toronto or visit the city at anytime, especially if you love pasta like I do it is well worth the visit. Anyways that is my small post today, hope you guys enjoyed it and as always, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the end of the week updates.

The Keg Food Review!

                    I guess you can say this was my first time at the Keg and I absolutely loved it, I mean I was very nervous to know how the food was going to taste but it was amazing! We shared a thing of garlic bread with cheese. It was very garlicky and cheesy and greasy but I didn't really care as long as it was good. Next thing I had was the Filet Mignon with Garlic Mash potatoes and Zucchini which I didn't eat the Zucchini as I'm not a fan of it. However the Filet Mignon was so tender and it came with a sauce, not sure if it was an Aaoli sauce but it was soooo good on the steak and maybe I need to try and make a nice sauce for my steak next time but whatever the sauce it was nice and it complimented the steak very well. The Garlic mash potatoes was good and It has actually the skin of the potatoes and it was really good and wasn't too garlicy whatsoever. For dessert we shared a big piece cake it was like a mocha cake with a chocolate layer with Carmel and it was really that good!  

                   I would give the appetizer a 10 out of 10 as it was so soft and tender when I bit into the garlic bread with cheese. The meal, the steak and garlic mash is also another 10 out of 10 all night long! Finally the dessert is a 10 out of 10, so a total of 30 out of 30. Now I wanna add 10 points more to the list to make it an even 40 out of 40 which is the service, it was supreme from us at the entrance being greeted and being checked if we have been vaccinated which we all are vaccinated now to being seated and given instructions we do not need a mask if we are at our table but getting up we have to wear a mask. Our waitress, was amazing and interacted with us a lot when we she came to check in with us. I will be going back and I plan on eating the Prime Rib next time around and every time I will change up what I have. Anyways that is my post for today, hope you enjoyed this and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

First Time Having Deep Fried Pickles!

                    This goes a long way back to the point of me still in College for the 2 years I was in college. This was like between 2010 - 2012. Anyways, there was an event for a freshmen I guess so to speak and it was like a BBQ that we had over at the Campus Pub. Anyways there was a bowl of deep fried pickles and I thought, you know what, I am going to try this and see and I wasn't sure what to really expect and this might of actually been the first time I actually had Pickles all together. Maybe, not 100% sure to be honest. The first time I had it I thought, mmm this is good! I actually really enjoyed it and was different to be honest. It was very, very different and to be honest, I'd have it again in the very near future. 

                   All it really is breading around a pickle and it is deep fried. It's not cold it is a room temperature and I am not afraid to try something new to be honest. I more open now then I was for trying something new which is good. I'm sorry this post isn't very very long, its a very short and sweet post and I wanna keep it short since I am late for the post today. I apologize for the late and the not so excited post today but I wanted to do something. Back to what I was saying, if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it, especially if you like dill pickles especially it is truly recommended. Anyways that is the post for today and I will see you in the next post next week, Savannah will explain on tomorrow's post.

Harvey's Food Review

            In the last week or so I have had the opportunity to actually have take out for the first time in a while that didn't involve Little Caesars Pizza outside of that to be honest. Anyways I had a Hamburger with Fries and I forgot how Harvey's tasted as it has been almost 10 years or at least 10 years since I have had anything from there. Last time I was at Harvey's was with my friends Terry aka Lobster Head (LOL) and Angie and that was after a General's Game and I totally forget what year but I remember what day and that happened to be New Years Day I went to the 2:05 pm EST Gennies Game. So it's been a while and I'd have to ask him what year but it could of been at least 10 years as I have been going to game with them on and off for many years now! Anyways back to the review as I am way off the Beeton Path so to speak. The Burger has my usual, mustard ketchup, relish, onions and pickles which these one were long and thinly cut which were cut. Which reminds me I have another throwback story how I became a fan of Pickles which I just wrote down actually so I remember this for future weeks to tell these kind of stories to you guys. 

           Now the fries were really good and I gotta admit my favorite on top of New York Fries, Mr. Burger, Wendy's fries. Yes McDonald's unfortunately did not make my list as I find those too salty for my liking as they put on a little too much and that how I really feel. Now the burger as I said had Pickles, Onions, Relish, Mustard and Ketchup and the first thing I gotta admit is the egg like bun, it had the Soft Bun Action (SBA) as Daym would say on his YouTube videos. I did drop the box on the convertible box to make sure they put everything in there and was all accounted for. The patty was so tender and juicy and the addition of the pickle action game gave the burger a definite 10 out of 10 and I need to add to my list my favorite burger places in town including the one at the mall. Finally the French Fries were crispy and lightly salted nothing too over done and I would give it a 10 out of 10. I will be back to Harvey's in the nearby future and never know I may try something else off their menu and I may just review it for you guys!

Getting Anxiety for Going Back To Events and Food Reviews In 2021!

               I know I shouldn't be anxious with going back to events. However I am worried about going back and questioning if I will be back at events right away when they start in Spring 2021 or hold off. Honestly I cannot over think things nor plan  too far ahead of myself. I do not want to promise something that I cannot keep so right now we are waiting on the decision. Yes I got some events that I want to do and I may ease back on the schedule as it will be too soon with actually and I want to ease myself back to events. I may end up cutting out a few events such as Rib Fest, Polish/Ukrainian Festival, some of the bigger events that I have been too and I want to ease it back not rush back into all events so not everything will be on the schedule technically. We will see how things go. It will depend on the status of the pandemic at this time next year to what and if the pandemic is lower and if I really wanna travel into Toronto, because I may not be going to any Toronto events even next year, I may end up waiting for Toronto events and may just stay local for now.

             Again this does depend how things are and if we ended up going into the second wave of this pandemic so right now I need to focus on now. I know it's taken a hit on the content as right now we've halted events and food reviews and the views are really down with the site? No, it's been full speed ahead and with the changes that we have made with the website has helped us. However in the end, eventually we will end up back to events and food reviews and I know Larry and I owe you guys a food review from Pop Eyes and we were on our way to do one but this pandemic hit and and now we're without those reviews. Also we or I was planning to return to Toronto Union Station to actually return to the Pizza Pizza to try their food again but I guess that is on hold. Soon I hope soon enough we will have news that we can travel around again and get around once again but we had to just continue to be patient. I will not or try to not get anxiety over returning to a normalcy but right now I have a bit of anxiety but that's all normal. What I have to do is take things one day at a time and baby steps.

Johnny's Food Review- Triple Decker Grilled Cheese W/ Ham!

           I know this was almost a week ago, but I had other content on the go for the website at the time and it went to the bottom of my list for now. However I decided to slip it into the schedule this week before I totally forget to do this honestly. Honestly it was starting to slip my mind but honestly as you guys know, I was at Eric's for Survivor premiere and we decided to go back to Johnny's. I know, I've done 2 reviews on the restaurant with this being my 3rd review and I am pretty sure you guys are tired of it but hey you guys enjoy this food review so I am going to do it. I know you can sense sarcasm from me but that is who I am some days, I tend to have a bit of sarcasm some days, ha-ha. So to the review, enough of me rambling on about myself. I had the triple Decker Grilled Cheese with Ham in it. Not just one piece of ham but to and it was a good thickness to it. However, I found it really, really good and I may try it here at home for myself but it was good. Now as you know I give the reviews 5 but this time around I am giving it a 10 all day long! Yes I know it has been an up and down with Johnny's but for the most part a positive experience for both of us and Eric actually had the same thing as me. The Grilled cheese was so soft, so gooey, was really really good.


             Now we even mentioned we know what we are going to have to dessert which was their infamous Apple Pie and she even checked for us while we waited for our food and she gave us a thumbs up as she had 2 of them left and saved them for us which was really nice of her. Actually we had the same waitress from the previous time which was back near my birthday in December. Of course we had the pie afterwards and of course it still has a 10 all day. That hasn't changed at all, however I think next time I may try the Coconut Cream Pie for a change perhaps but we will see. I am still partial to the Apple Pie. I love it and really tasty... Honestly you cannot go wrong with Apple Pie and always love it. Oh I may as well throw this 2 more things to this post, the Owner or Manager knows us very well as we're there a couple of times in a year for special occasions or even the Survivor or Big Brother Premieres or Finales. Also the waitress also warmed it up for us slightly but it was really good as well. In March, Larry and I will be finally doing the Pop Eyes Food Review and I am looking forward to that actually and cannot wait to actually try it out for the very first time in my life.

Subway Food Review [01-20-2020]

              The last 2 weeks I have been out eating once a week which is fine but gained weight so yesterday's post sure as heck went to waste but hey makes me wanna work even harder. Anyways last week I was up in the north end and Eric and I had Subway and trust me it wasn't the best experience and this is my food review for North end of Whitby for Subway at Garden and Rossland. Anyways the Pepsi was watered down a bit and didn't taste overly great and the sandwich had way too much Honey Mustard on it. So for the food and drink I will be giving it a definitely 1 as I wasn't too pleased with it whatsoever and I should of said something about the drink being watered down that was my own fault and I could of mentioned but they should be checking it but that is besides the point honestly. However this is the first bad review since last summer honestly so I have good rep or and have been on a good role with a positive reviews since. Last year wasn't a good year but hoping this year will be a good.


               However in the end the service was a 5 all day as they were nice and very helpful to the both of us so it wasn't a complete failure honestly but it is what it is and I am unsure that I am going to be back anytime soon but we will see. I hope to maybe one day go back and revisit this location. That is today's post and boy I wasn't happy at all. Sandwich wasn't that bad just little too much honey mustard but what can you do. These things happen and honestly you cannot control it. Look I had 3 bad ones I hope to get a lower amount on the bad reviews but never know you could see me rant this year a few times but again we will honestly will see. I would like to go back to a couple of them honestly and that is for another time and another blog post. Hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will talk to you guys tomorrow for the next food review tomorrow at 12 pm EST.

Riley's Montreal Ruben and Fries Food Review

           So yesterday you noticed I was very quiet on social media in the evening as I was at a Ontario Hockey League hockey game with my family to support my niece and nephew's hockey team. However before we went out for dinner at a pub which I have a history with them, not in a bad way but I went to play pool down there which is not far at all to walk where the high school I went to. This was before the renovations which now I really, really love it honestly the way they have it now compare to back then. So what did I eat at Riley's? Well honestly the choices behind it wasn't easy honestly. They were quite difficult to chose and I had several one being chicken sandwich of some sort to the Philly Cheesesteak which I never ever tried which honestly I should of tried, probably really enjoy it and it was either on bread or a wrap, I would of done a wrap honestly. However I went with something safe and I admit it was different from anything else. So I had a Montreal Ruben which is like Montreal Smoked Meat with cheese, probably Swiss cheese and fries. I think it was suppose to come with Pickle on the side but there were no pickle whatsoever but I will overlook that and not worry about it and it was fine honestly. Also had fries on the side. Sandwich was delicious and gooey but worth it in the end. Fries were not too over salty and I added on the Vinegar as I do not have Vinegar on my fries too but also were crispy and really good. Sandwich I would give a 10 out of 10, fries 10 out of 10.


              The service was a 10 out of 10 and really was great with us and we almost didn't get a seat as downstairs it was tough to sit 7 people but my sister law managed for us to get a seat upstairs as there was some seating upstairs. I will definitely be back in the very nearby future and definitely wanna try something different and never know I may revisit this on another blog post as I enjoy making these food reviews and you guys seem to enjoy them and whenever I am out somewhere especially new I tend to do a food review on here. Speaking of which February both Larry and I will be heading to Pop Eyes locally here so we're both excited and will be doing a food review so yes this means Larry will be active member of the blog here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com so I promised you guys I'd be doing a post and he will be probably right from here in the studio actually so be sure to stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.

Fried Perogies At Toronto Christmas Market Food Review!

              As I promised you guys I would do a food review for you guys from the Toronto Christmas Market back on Wednesday and yes I did a double blog post for you guys today. As I mentioned in my post back at noon I had the Perogies with onions and also bacon and not small pieces of bacon either big chunks of it too. They even gave me a ton of sour cream which made it so good. Now the Perogie isn't your typical boiled as it was actually fried European Style which was really, really good even tho it was tough to actually cut but I someway, somehow seemed to manage it with no problem. In the perogie there was potato and cheese the kind we have sometimes every 2nd week or so when we cannot figure out what we want to eat for dinner. The dough was tougher then usual but manageable but it was really good even with the bacon, onions and sour cream.  It wasn't my favorite but don't forget this is the first time I have had this and it is honestly hard to cut that was pretty much my main issue.


              However I am overlooking that part of the meal the bacon, onions all well cooked and had a ton of flavor so that was good and the cheese and potato were super good too so out of it all it would be a 4 out of 5 and yes I am being generous with the entire meal. Now would I do it again? Hmmm maybe, I really unsure but again I could be feeling different from this review come this time next year when it is time to go to the Christmas Market 2020 as I am sure my dad and I will be back there again at the end of next year. However I want to try something different there instead and kind of switch things up each year and I am sure I will be back to the same thing eventually but who knows. Either way I ate it and enjoyed it and that is what entirely matters to me and really I didn't complain about it but it was in the back of my mind on the one issue but really I didn't worry about it at all. I am all about the experience at the Toronto Christmas Market every year that I go with my dad and we made time despite the busy schedule around this studio reno project. Finally I hope you enjoyed this bonus post and I will see you in tomorrow's regular post at the usual time.

Johnny's Western Burger and Fries Food Review

            Yesterday I went out for lunch with my friend Eric as an early birthday celebration and I have been here before in the past about 2 months before and yes I have been at Johnny's before that too with my worker and my family so I am very familiar with the establishment and the fact it is very close to Eric's place is a plus especially when it came to the Survivor Premiere and the Big Brother 21 Finale! Anyways the last time I was there I actually had a Corn Beef on Rye with Fries which were really good and I enjoyed it. Now to this review, I had a Western Burger. One thing I found with the burger, it fell apart so I am wondering if it was overcooked so I wasn't overly pleased by hey I still ate it regardless and the Peameal Bacon made up for the overcooked burger. Hey at least it wasn't RAAAW! as Gordon Ramsey would say. Anyways I probably give it a 3 out of 5 and I am being generous as I still enjoyed dessert so there was a bonus to that but other items I have had off the menu in the past so this time I wasn't happy but doesn't mean I wasn't happy before because I was very satisfied the last time around. The fries were just perfect for me, crispy and really delicious. They get a 5 out of 5 together. 


               However dessert I once again had the Apple pie which is a huge piece of pie honestly. However I did enjoy it this time around. I actually gave it a 10 out of 5 as I enjoyed it the first time around but this time around, still a 10 out of 5 so in total of the two times, I would give it out a 20 out of 10, 10 out of 5 each time. It was nice and fresh, Apples were really fresh and yummy inside the pie. They don't give you a small slice either it is a really huge slice of pie and that' fine with me I enjoyed every bite of it. I would definitely have the pie for dessert again next time I went there for sure. However I do not think I would have the burger again as it fell apart, it seemed dry and overcooked to me but that could be me all together. The staff there definitely get full 5 as they were amazing and we actually saw the Manager or it could of been the owner there yesterday and super nice to us and let us hang and take out time to finishing up our meal. Definitely go back and do another review for a different item on the list. There is my review and I hope you guys really enjoyed it and look forward to another one very soon and never know I may just do a Teddy's review next week when I go with my neighbor for lunch.

Pizza and Dessert From Kitchen Place Food Review!

          Now it is obvious where I was now it is 48 hours now which equals 2 days ago technically but on the way back we went to the local grocery store which had warm food and when I say warm food I mean Pizza, whole chicken, some good stuff and reasonable prices too. So I grabbed Pizza, mainly Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza which had a nice hint of Oregano which we all know is a herb and tastes great in food. Anyways the first bite that I took and it was really fresh. It was also really super soft and very delicious as well and I really did enjoy it. My thought was just like my mom's homemade pizza that she makes from time to time which next time I eat pizza will probably be on my 34th Birthday this year. Now for the rating I would give it a 10 out of 10. It was really enjoyable and I would eat the Pizza again even if my dad and I even went there I would definitely have it again especially as it was really good. 


            However for the dessert, not as enjoyable as I was not happy with it whatsoever but I ate it. I found this chocolate and with some creamy stuff inside too sweet for my liking. Now yes I have a sweet tooth but that much of a sweet tooth honestly. Both Eric and I found it too sweet so it wasn't that great. Now if it didn't have the cream on top and just chocolate in the middle of the chocolate part that probably been fine but the way they had it and it is very hard to explain to you guys what I am talking about. I should of took a picture of all the food I had but I didn't. Either way I wasn't pleased with the result of the dessert so I probably, more then likely just like Eric not too happy with the dessert. However majority of the time I'd say there are tons of things that I do like and this dessert wasn't one of them on my list along with Sushi which is one I do not like whatsoever. Either way this dessert is getting a 1 out of 10 as I said I found it too sweet and that's OK, but I will give em a 5 out of 10 the way it was presented in the container and it did look good at the time but once I took a bite, I wasn't overly impressed. I hope you enjoyed this food review and I hope to have more like these again in the very nearby future.

Mckeck's Food Review 2019!

             Last week, I was out and about with my dad and it was one of the two days I was out with him for the day. Anyways we had lunch over at Mckeck's Bar and Grill and mind you this wasn't the first time for me honestly. I have been there before I think I actually did a review last year or the year before but I would have to dig into the archives of 700 + posts that I have made over the years since February 2015 when I started making posts on almost regular basis. Anyways we arrived in Haliburton and got to Mckeck's and we put in our order. We had a craft beer which was from one of the local breweries there in Haliburton. I also ordered Chicken Caesar on a Wrap which had tomato wrap on it as well which was really good actually. The wrap itself was really good and filling as heck! Those kind of wraps are usually really filling. Least it was a more of a healthier choice since I am trying to be on this damn diet and honestly ever since has gotten out of control so I need to regain myself back on this after almost a week ago since eating out 2 days in a row. Now I also had kettle chips which is well known in the States. I was given several options and I am happy that I chose the Kettle Chips with the Chipotle Sauce. The sauce itself was spicy a bit but however it was still good with the kettle chips and I pretty much used up all the sauce too.


               Now the wrap I would give it 10 out of 10 as it went above and beyond for a wrap and was so tender and crunchy and so good that it sure as heck deserves a 10 out of 10. I'd definitely have this dish again in the very near future as well. Also the kettle chips need a rating out of 5 and once again I actually give it a 10 out of 10 once again. Crunchy, lots of flavor and the size of them were quite big and it was a filling as well. The waitress was really good and super friendly so service is a definite 10 out of 10. Also the restaurant gets a 10 out of 10 as well as they really have good food and like I said I have been there in the past years as a year thing when my dad and I are up there for the fall colors. In the end I highly recommend this bar and grill as the food is really good and worth it all in the end. I will talk to you guys tomorrow for the Throwback Thursday Story post.

Sauter's Inn Food Review

               So last Thursday night, my parents and I went out for dinner to celebrate my mom's 71st birthday and I think its a great idea to do actually and I do enjoy doing this with family and we have not done this before the 3 of us. Anyways we went to Sauters Inn in Pickering which is all German Food. I had 2 glasses of wine which is very unusual of me majority of the time. Now the menu side of things, it was not an easy choice to make when it comes to the food side of things and I just wasn't really sure what to get honestly but the decision was made to get the Veal Cordon Bleu which was very tasty and the breading practically fell off as it was very well cooked. For those who do not know Cordon Bleu can be used with Chicken as well but we always have Chicken every week here in the house so it was time for something completely different this time around. Also I had a choice of potatoes and veggies but decided to go with just the potatoes as I didn't wanna over do things. Funny thing I finished everything on the plate so I was sure as heck hungry when it came to dinner. So overall the Cordon Bleu was good, I would give that a 5 out of 5 all day long. Same with the potatoes as they were nice and crunchy as I like my potatoes from time to time.


               Finally we indeed had dessert and I wasn't going to as I was pretty much full but managed to slip it in. Anyways I had Apple Strudel with powdered sugar on it with a scoop of Ice Cream. Ice cream was so nice and creamy like it should be and the strudel was nice and hot as a piece of pie or strudel is. It is always good warmed up and that extra touch of powered sugar was nice touch to it. So the strudel itself is definitely a 5 out of 5 as I enjoyed it. I would go back in the very nearby future with my parents are occasion like birthdays for prime example. However this isn't the first time having it as my mom has brought home leftovers so I know what it tastes like, however this is the first time that I have been to the actual restaurant itself if that does make any sense to you guys whatsoever so there is a slight difference but I have had food from there and enjoyed every moment of it as it is a very delicious food. My favorite dishes are the Cordon Bleu, schnitzel and so forth. It was expensive but always nice to go do once and a while from time to time.

Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese Food Review

              Like I said yesterday, I wasn't planning a food review to be honest but anyways this is a spur the moment kind of review that I wasn't expecting. So I went something really out of the box and had Mac and Cheese. I know what you are going to say Mac and Cheese? Yes but it was in the Grilled Cheese Sandwich squished in the middle of the cheese and the bread. Now the outside bread had cheese on the outside as well and it is pretty much interesting and I was really unsure how to feel on the first couple of bites and I really had to look in the middle to see the actual macaroni in the middle that is when I figured it out why they call it Mac and Cheese so it was quite interesting sandwich that I had and something I feel confused about still even 2 days later I still wonder what I had. However to the review side of things the cheese was cooked perfectly, the cheese in the middle gooey and the macaroni not cooked but perfect. I honestly think it took me until the second half of my sandwich to really get the grasp of what I was eating honestly and I was truly confused but once I started to eat then I finally got the idea. So the review I would give it 3 out 5 as probably I wouldn't do it again as I rather have a normal everyday grilled cheese sandwich and I am trying to be generous.


               I honestly am being generous in my rating, I could of technically given it a 1 and really not give em a good rating. However it was good but something I think more then likely I wouldn't have again in the very nearby future. It is not because of the taste its more likely I do not think macaroni goes with a grilled cheese. It's definitely an odd ball for food but that is how I roll these days and not only that but I am also all for trying new things and that is probably one of the reasons I wanted to try it. I wasn't going to originally eat as I was trying to follow my diet after eating out on Wednesday night so my entire diet is out the window and tomorrow I need to get back into it. I really wish I could give this review a higher rating but the way I am feeling about what I ate, I feel like that yes it was good but something I wouldn't eat again. However this is just my opinion and I know you guys enjoy these and I know at times I can be critical but I said it before, I am all for trying new things and honestly I thought it was Mac and Cheese in a bowl but I was quite surprised honestly.
