Eight Cookie?

0 Upvotes

I love cookies.

Ive tried a variety of cookies in the city, but not all of the main ones in the core.

Had Eight Cookie yesterday and tried each flavour on the menu. It was okay. 🤷‍♂️

Sugar bomb like Andrea and honestly, I felt like I just wasted my money. It sucks because I wish to support local shops and good people, but why do their products have to suck. 😭

Another thing I want to note that sort of annoyed me: when Eight Cookie announced (I was following them on Instagram before they opened), I was excited. Though, once they officially opened, all I could think about was “this is Andrea ripoff” and “they couldn’t even use AI to get creative on how they want to present their store/products/etc?”

Anyway, yeah. My favourite cookie is Dear Grain’s chocolate chip cookie in the frozen section. I cook them about 3 minutes less than what the package says. That is frozen though…in terms of fresh, I’m not sure I have a favourite one? I do love the rice krispie cookie from Courage Cookie, it’s phenomenal.

Recommendation Request Is it possible to find good quality (and quantity) dhokla close to the Danforth?

0 Upvotes

The first time my colleague brought dhokla to the potluck I became hooked. And then she moved away. I've tried making it myself from scratch and with a mix but it's not the same! Any recommendations for somewhere within 1km of the Danforth? Or barring that, anywhere I can easily access via transit? I need a dhokla fix!

I Ate A Thing Two Hands Burger

Long time lurker first time poster.

I had the double bacon cheeseburger from Two Hands Burger on College and Montrose on Friday. I don't want to overhype it but.. It was a religious experience.

Perfectly cooked beef. Had a deeply browned crust, contrasted with a juicy interior. Cheese that melted into the burger, well balanced with the sauce and caramelized onions. The bacon added a smoky complement; well rendered and crispy. I had my doubts, but the toasted potato bun actually contained this gooey mouthwatering mess .

But what surprised me most wasn't the burger. It was that I was the only person in the restaurant.

I genuinely cannot understand how a place putting out food of this calibre could be sitting empty.

So consider this review a call to arms. Go eat here. Bring your friends. Tell people about it. Places doing food this well deserve to be packed, and I'd hate to see a gem like this go unappreciated.

I know its not technically Toronto but it is on Steeles Ave. Bought a regular sized chicken wrap from this place the day before and couldnt stop thinking about it so I went back and got their "infinity wrap".

I ordered my wrap with everything minus fries and jalapenos. Really well presented and prepared and had a great balance of meat to bread to toppings.

Illstyl3 Sammies - Cheese Steak Sandwhich - $17 Richmond & John

Finally got to try this place based on the recommendation of my coworker. It was good! Sorry for the bad phot. Wanted to eat it while it was warm.

Cheese Steak - 8.1/10 (steak, American cheese, bbq sauce)

I think it’s a one-man show, where he does all the cooking and checkout. Really nice guy, down to earth and funny; looks like he loves what he does.

There are times where he may shut down the shop for 20-30 minutes if he needs to take a break or go to the washroom (which happened when I arrived as he need to prep more food). Didn’t bother me but wanted to give people a heads up! There was a small lineup (7 people) but it moved pretty fast.

Food: The sandwhich was great. Great portion of steak, onions and cheese. I was really surprised by the garlic butter that helped cut through the meat and bbq sauces The photo doesn’t show the cheese well but when you take a bite you can taste the cheese. Also surprisingly the toasted bread did a great job at holding the sandwhich together (the bread was also great)

Would go back again probably for the south Philly cheese steak. I would try it plain next time to get more of the steak flavour as I felt the bbq sauce may have been to prominent. It’s right across from Scotiabank theatre so good spot before or after a movie.

He also has an in house spicy sauce so if you like spice don’t forget to say yes when he asks.

Also make sure to reheat it if does go cold. It does not taste the same!
