A recent study claims that toddlers prefer any food that is wrapped in McDonald's wrappers stating that it tastes better. Do you think the same applies to adults?
Is a burger better b/c is it in a Wendy's wrapper?

This morning news rated the top Steakhouses in the greater Toronto Area, maybe we should check out some of them? Prices may be a consideration- La Castile seems to be more reasonably priced than the others. I have listed the top ones below with their website links.

I checked out a couple of other review sites, Harbour 60 and Ruth's seem to be the overall favorite.

I'm up for trying these out any time you guys want to come to TO.
I've been to Harbour 60.. they are AMAZING, but the steak (with no sides) usually comes to $40-$90.  Bottles of wine (and they have top bottles of wine) come to $75-$200+ (they usually are $25-$40 bottles of wine in the liquor store).  Sides and appetizers usually come to $10-$40 (there is a "side" of shrimp I got there once (we were taking client out for supper, in the end charging it back to them) for $30 with 3 shrimps, but they were all the size of mini-bananas.. seriously they were a good 4-6 bites each (and as you know I got a big mouth!).. that alone could have filled me but I still went on to have a primo steak, many glasses of wine and whatever vareity of side dishes were purchased (side dishes are meant to be shared)...
All in all, dinner for 10-12 people came to more than I was making in a month BEFORE TIP!  I make significantly more now than I did back then, but it still came to a very hefty total!
Was it worth it?  They did everything spectacular... service was phenominal.. they are always one of the top 3 rated steak and seafood restaurants in town...

I have heard of a few of the others but don't know much about them... if you are interested in trying any of these, let me know!

I think a burger is better if it is wrapped in bacon... any burger...
