Yeah, that's fair. I'm okay with that. By stricter rules, I guess I was going more for stricter guidelines: have a bowl of water ready, leave a window slightly open, don't leave them for more than 5 or 10 minutes, that kind of stuff. That's all common sense, but some people clearly just don't get it.

It's just noodles. Like ramen. And apparently it's a hipster stereotype to take an Instagram picture of it.

So Adam Vaughan wants to ban bullets. It would be interesting to see a Chris Rock joke become reality.

Five thousand dollars a bullet sounds about right.

I'd be very careful with who I shot at 5k a bullet. I'd really have to hate you to want to lose that money.

I look forward to it, as long as you guys don't schedule it on a day where I'm not anywhere near Toronto.

Our final battle will be immense.

City Hall should have a Bowser sprite for Ford.

I'd love to see a Super Mario World style map as well.

Read on BlogTO earlier this week that the only one that made their top 10 (such as it is) that was also DT was in Chinatown. Haven't been to hot pot in a long, long time though, so I can't vouch for its good or badness.

Not really. Though I haven't tried one there in a while. The place I went to is just by the Finch subway station if it's not that far for you. All the good hot pot restaurants are in markham and richmond hill.

I wrote a review of it just now:

I saw that, but the only comment in that article:

Probably the worst hot pot I've ever had.

Japanese do broth better. I like ramen like Kenzo or maybe even Manpuku. I find Pho very bland.

To be fair, their top-10 lists are by reader nomination, rather than much in the way of quantitative measurement.

That said, BlogTO does attract its own cadre of trolls.

I love the BlogTO best of lists, and have found a lot of great restaurants and shops that way. It's not perfect though to be sure.

Plenty of other cities have their own threads, they just aren't as active as this one

Apparently Toronto is the only city interesting enough to warrant daily discussion, as evidenced by the fact that other city OTs die after a few pages.

Pretty much this. There's always something to talk about regarding Toronto in general.

We shit on our mayor, there's always some restaurant we haven't tried, and just stuff in general going on within the city.

It's because Toronto is the Centre of the Universe and its immense gravity is slowly drawing every other major city into its grasp.

A combination of our hate/love for the city.

Also our hate/love of pho. (which I still have never had yet)

I like Ajisen. Though, it's the only Ramen place I've tried.

I've only been to the one in North York and it was pretty mediocre. I hear the one in Markham is better though.

The Markham location is the one I go to. It's always busy as hell in there, though.

I don't recall needing permission to start a city thread.

Start one, get people in it, and try to keep it going. That's all you need to do.

Ajisen is yummy. However, I don't think I've been to any other ramen place downtown.

Having a shitty mayor really gets the discussion going, too. Make sure your city has one of those before starting a city thread!

And I don't even know any ramen places downtown. Ajisen's the only one I know of.

Probably not. I just grab them all from the skyscraper forums and I always post whatever the biggest resolution that was available is.

Ehhh...a lot of pho places here aren't really that good to be honest.

My aunt, who runs a Pho restaurant in SF, made some for me when she was visiting in Toronto.

Holy.

Shit.

Night and day! Broth was so flavourful and freakin awesome! Places here just aren't the same -_-
