Tasty Thursdays

Posted by car 2011 at 11:27 AM

The City of Toronto has many activities in Nathan Phillips Square and while the recent construction has reduced the events they continued with Tasty Thursdays. Mmmm, Tasty Thursdays. I love it when a day is special – like Wednesday’s Hump Day, everything is better on those special days. Sadly, this is the last day for Tasty Thursdays in 2010. You can still go up to the nature garden overlooking the square and enjoy your lunch in peace and quiet.

The setup for the event starts in the early morning and stations are setup for the participating restaurants to setup their stoves and barbecues. In August there were quite a few restaurants on board including:

The Real Jerk
Kathmandu Restaurant
Lone Star Texas Grill
Satay on the Road
Buppha Thai Restaurant
Chuck & Co.
Woody’s Burgers/Freshwood BBQ
Liberty Noodle
La Fiesta Catering
La Cocina de Dona Luz Restaurant
Big Daddy’s Bourbon Street Bistro & Oyster Bar
Sunshine Natural Foods

The hot and delicious food can be had for $5 and if you want some be prepared to stand in line for the cheap eats. I have enjoyed the Blackened Catfish Sandwich from Big Daddy’s and it was very tasty. It makes for a change from the street hot dogs so keep an eye out for Tasty Thursdays in 2011 running from 11:00am till 2:00pm.

Another kind of Tasty Thursdays was happening at Yonge-Dundas Square where Virgin Mobile was giving away free poutine – you just had to show your cell phone to them.
