Will do!

Last time we were there, we went to 41*(degrees).
At the time it was a Top 5 restaurant in the world.
Sadly, it's now closed.

One of the best meals I've ever had!

they keep it a little chilly in there huh?

I'm guessing it will be enforced with the frequency that jaywalking is (practically never) but will make people think about it. As a cyclist, motorist and pedestrian in the city there are far too many morons who step into the street without looking up.

Pokemon is making the problem worse. (Not something I thought I'd ever type )

Groups of people talking to each other block sidewalks significantly more than solo texters. It's such a non issue.

Texting while crossing a street is dangerous but it's only a risk to themselves. What's next, banning earphones in public?

Agreed. I text or check something on my phone here and there, but it's not hard to keep the same pace and generally be aware of your surroundings. It's just that some people don't care enough to give a poop about anyone else.

I know people that have received massive tickets for jaywalking. So (frank)ing dumb.

Tapas at Embrujo on Danforth just opposite Broadview station is (frank)ing awesome if you want some good quality tapas in Toronto... I must have eaten at least 3 heart attacks worth of serrano (plus a bit of jamon iberico - holy (frank)ing delicious!) on my last visit...

Groups of people talking to each other while blocking the entire sidewalk should be ticketed too, and also groups of 4 15 year old girls who walk side by side with linked arms

The Kegs quality is usually "meh" but their Rib Steak is actually quite good. I just hate that they can't do a proper Chicago style steak. Barberians on the other hand
- markmark

I franking love the Keg.

It is what it is: a place to get an average steak at an average price.

I'd much rather go there before a hockey game than go to Harbour 60 - the most over-rated, over-priced place in Toronto.

And on a personal note, me and Mrs. Wedgie once went to Harbour 60 after a Leafs-Detroit game. The Leafs lost, of course.

Next table over was the Detroit Russian players (Federov et al) having a nice dinner with the Leafs Russian players.

That just didn't sit right with me. The head tells me that there is nothing wrong with it, but the heart says you shouldn't have a nice meal with a division rival.

This is just old people being old.

Look at these anti-socials staring at their phones, that should be illegal!

I see it as a problem with society, where people these days are completely self absorbed and have absolutely no awareness or consideration for the people that surround them. Having your face stuck in a smart phone while walking down the street is but one symptom of the greater problem.

If this rule means I don't have to hear Tory's ad about old people getting run over every other commercial break, I am all for it.

Gonna have to disagree with this.

Even if it was 100% not your fault, killing a pedestrian with your car would frank you up emotionally pretty bad.

One of my high school teachers killed a guy in a motor vehicle accident that was 100% not his fault. He took like 3 months off because of PTSD.

The thing that pisses me off most is the selfie (and I'm not even old!)... If you're at somewhere interesting, an area of natural beauty, what the (frank) is wrong with taking a picture of it, rather than having yourself, slack-jawed or duck-lipped, taking up half the (frank)ing shot? Worst case scenario, let's say you bump into Auston (frank)ing Matthews on the sidewalk, has society forgotten the words "Excuse me, do you mind taking this picture for me please...?"


What a (frank)ing joke...

Lets start handing out fines for people that don't look both ways before crossing.

What pathetic city lol.

You think that's bad?

In university I took a date to a steak house.

She ordered chicken.
