Ep 29 - Viva Burritos & Rio Grande III

In this week's episode, we discuss a new burrito place in Oshawa called Viva Burritos. Great food, old school customer service, affordable and quick! Also, we pine for our favourite Morgantown Mexican Restaurant: Rio Grande III.
Towards the end of the episode, we incorrectly identified Chi-chi's downfall - it was not e. coli in the romaine or tainted salsa - it was Hepatitis A from the green onions. Well, the moral of the story is, you can never trust a green onion cause you don't know where it's been.

Ep 9 - O-Sushi!

Monday Jul 06, 2009
"The pleasant experience of eating something you have never had before, will extend your life by 75 days!" -- Japanese Proverb. Ok, not everyone will like sushi, but everyone should *try* it (unless you have a fish allergy). And, even if this Japanese delicacy isn't for you, please consider going to a sushi restaurant to try some of the other dishes there, especially if your friends are going! Links of Interest:

Ep 8 - Burgers!
Sunday Jun 28, 2009
Sunday Jun 28, 2009
Ubiquitous and delicous, burgers can usually satisfy at least two out of the important three: fast, cheap and good. But how far can we push the humble hamburger to be fast? We discuss our favourite burgers in this episode, and how a good thing can go bad when you expect too much out of it. Links of Interest:
