Biff, I’m going to Montreal next month for a convention, but also to eat way more Montreal Smoked Meat than is good for me (I’m passing up the Poutine, thanks very much). Where can I get MSM here in the enlarged Apple?
I ate at Tim Horton’s in Toronto, and although the ambience wasn’t the greatest, the food was adequate. Which was what I wanted.
“The US invaded Canada twice, in the Revolutionary War and in the War of 1812, and got its ass handed to it both times. Canada can take care of itself just fine.”
Awww, that’s cute.
Once you’ve been to the Donut Plant, there’s no going back. Oh, for a Brooklyn outpost.
As far as donuts are concerned, I only eat two different types: glazed & cinnamon. The guys on the street have far better product than does DD.

Oh no, definitely not. The end result is more akin to rocket fuel.

Dunkin Donuts coffee is pretty good.
If you buy it by the pound and brew it yourself at home.
most of the Dunkin Donuts in Boston are great. NY City just has the most awful franchisee for DD…the Riese Corp. Ugh. With their super low standards, I can’t imagine Tim Horton will be any better.
