Ditto. Five Guys and Hero Burger are so over rated. Worse, they are both over priced. I don't mind paying $10+ for a burger if it's worth it. But neither FG or HB are worth that cash. The last time at Five Guys, two of the guys I was with actually got sick afterwards.

Audis in China are not the same as the ones we get here or in Europe. Yes, I've been to the commercial centres in China and see them everywhere too. Those Audis are manufactured in China, specifically for the Chinese market using lower end materials, production quality is less precise, don't...

Outright pace is one thing and definitely a factor. So yes the Corvette is a fantastic deal in that sense. It's 1/2 the price of the Europe supercars for near the performance. But sit in the Vette and the equivalent Audi or Porsche or Ferrari, then drive them. You will see where the money...

True, the "Bangle Butt" and the odd creases on the Z, 5, 6, 7 series of the 2000's were a low point in BMW styling. But like it or not (I personally hated it), you have to admit it was very distinctive and also extremely influencial at the same time. Mercedes, Toyota/Lexus, Audi, Cadillac...

I need to replace all four original tires on my sports car. Anyone have a recommendation for the best (cheapest) tire shop in the GTA? I'm looking for performance (summer specific) tires in the 18" diameter sizes from brands such as Michelin, Continental, Hankook, Toyo, Bridgestone and the...

Don't forget 1994. Forrest Gump is admittedly a fantastic movie and one of my favs. But Pulp Fiction is on another level, it changed moviemaking for a generation.

Admittedly, I'm no "North Face brand expert". But from my experience with North Face, they seem to have quite an extensive range, from the entry level stuff found at Sportchek to what climbers wear in -40* C to summit Mt. Everest. A few years ago, I bought a NF winter jacket from Dick's...

My thoughts exactly. These new smartphones are as good as reported. But their size is getting ridiculous. Why do people need an almost 5" screen on a phone? People like having a mini-tablet strapped to their belts or banging around in their handbag? Or the ever popular wrist mounted phone...

Depends on your budget and what you like or deem important in a winter jacket. But for the best "userbility and functionality", I like the ski jackets from Descente, Spyder, Arcteryx, Phenix, Solomon, Sherpa and the like. These jackets are designed for hours on the slopes so are lightweight...

One often overlooked food is Spanish. French and Italian foods tend to be more well known and popular from the Old World, but I actually prefer Spanish cooking. While the most over rated food IMHO is Greek. Besides a couple of dishes, it's generally boring and under seasoned. And no, I'm not...

You're absolutely right about the excess MSG and salt the majority of pho places use in the stock base. It's the cheap and easy way to add depth and flavour to the broth without spending the time, effort and cost of using real slabs of beef and beef bones. Or they will add excess star anise to...

These world travelling food shows by Bourdain or others are deceiving. Most of the time, the ethnic foods available in North America are much better tasting/better quality/more hygenic than the same dish in its native 3rd world country. Let's take pho for example (plug in your favourite dish...

You must not have had good pho. As with any dish, there's various interpretation and differing qualities, depending on the cook/restaurant. To call pho, "just noodle soup with beef" is oversimplifying it. It's akin to calling Picard's $40 hamburger, just a beef sandwich or top grade sushi...

No more private jetsetting for LA as he'll prep for bankruptcy protection as the vultures will be coming in for their take of what's left or owed.

In fact, Eddy Merckx was caught using various types of stimulants and amphetamines on three separate ocassions in competition. But rules were more laxed back in the 60's and 70's and penalties were virtually non-existent, especially for a patron of Merckx's status. The infamous, contoversial...

Yes, LA is no question guilty and is now paying for his past doping sins. But if you strip LA of his titles and ban him. Than we have to apply the same rules to past cycling "champions" as well. In which case, we would have to go back 50-60 years and do a clean sweep. If you are a cycling...

The chick is cute....

Really depends on what you're trying to get out of the machine. A pleasant Sunday cruise in a comfortable car or something more spirited and sporty? Honda S2000. Excellent handling and balance, cool dash, a bit rough riding (as expected of such a car) but a high strung car that you have to...

Morgan Aero Supersports........~$225K........up to two years wait. So so many other more fantastic machines in the price range.
