Left onto Spadina from Front actually. That would have been us about 11:45. Headed to the Gardiner for the cruise home.

So a few of us met up at Three Stooges for dinner.


A couple of selfies with friends.




Huge Portions at reasonable prices.






I ordered French Onion Soup and a well done King Sirloin. Wow. Huge, thick and delicious.




This was our hostess, Princess Robin.


All gone.


Was a full parking lot. Here's Vicky's.


Paul & Jenny's. They couldn't come out in the vette unfortunately.


Pressman met us there after dinner for the cruise to Yorkdale.



Got to Yorkdale and Bruce and Chris were already there. Nice new wheels and side skirts Chris.


The Galaxy S6 takes some decent night images.










Under the Gardiner

Hey Stan. I am going to make it down for a HDR this year, even if it means getting home at 3 in the morning. Only question is can we really get a Hot Dog that time of night? We have pizza, subs, chicken, burgers but we have no street meat here.

Let me know.

Hey Murray.

Absolutely we can get hot dogs. It's just up the street from the pizza and sub place.

A well done steak Stan? All the flavor gets cooked out of it! It's like shoe leather! If my steak ever comes to the table more than medium rare it gets sent packing!

Sorry boys, but steak is one of the few places where I cannot eat pink.

Besides, does this really look burnt? Should have taken a pic while cutting one.





Besides, well done doesn't necessarily mean to burn, I just wanted my meal well done by the cook.

Have you ever tried a rare or medium rare steak though Stan? If you compare well done to rare there really is a MASSIVE difference in flavor. As a kid when I didn't know better, my steaks were always cooked well done but as a teenager I tried one rare and have never looked back since! I know a lot of people who have never tried one rare, and say it's a color thing, they don't like the look of a pink steak, but you could always just eat it blindfolded

I'm not trying to pick on you, I just remember what it was like the first time I tried a rare steak, it was like a whole new world of flavor was opened up to me. If you haven't tried it this way, you owe it to yourself to do so.

I have Pat. And no still don't like it. At almost 50, I know what I like and what I don't like.

Back in the early 70's, Starbucks was an original A&W and had car shows in the parking lot where you parked. I am too younger to remember.

You know when I was sitting there, I remembered the A&W. My dad would take me sometimes and they had the girls come out and take our order and bring the food on trays to the cars. That's what I like to call, the good ol' days.

But I don't think it was the Starbucks. That building is fairly new (20 years maybe?). I'm pretty sure it was the Three Stooges that was the A&W. Starbucks would have been part of the side parking lot back and up the middle was the menu boards.

You could be right.

I am very involved in the Port Credit community, in fact it is my life...helping those in need. I saw you there.

One wonders if a car-event friendly "Mel's Drive-In" type of establishment would do well in our city.

My self-employment provides great freedom but not much else, so until my great lottery fate happens I won't be able to fund the finding out, but I really do think it would work.

Outside car service, inside dining, incorporating a live music venue as well. Could be hoppin' year round!

I'd even sponsor a farmer's market on the grounds Friday and Saturday mornings. Got it all worked out ... in my mind.

Port Credit is a hidden gem...it just costs minimum 1M, to play.

I live in Port Credit and work (50 years) in Woodbridge...it's our Buffalo.

Enjoy everybody.

I've thought along the same lines Paul. The only thing you really need is the right location, the right size and the right menu.
