I went to Pastis once. I saw lil' kim. What did I think? Fast food on fancy plates. I guess there is something to be said about location, but I'd rather not eat in the 4:59 sunday lcbo line. It's funny how every city has their own meatgrinder. This place, although formerly burned down, is no exception. The sheep still flock. And good on them for being able to put a 1500% mark- up on kraft dinner. It reminds me of a time when I saw a man harassing a nice young couple. This guy starts going off about how he is so rich and important, and why he is entitled to this chick at the expense of her man. Never one to turn down some good entertainment, I (and a few friends) focus our attention on the situation. So this guy, and his silent friend, are trying to get some cut. Fair enough. He's all like "I can get you into the best places around the world"... "Have you ever heard of Pastis? its the best restaurant in the world and they know my name"... "look around you, they wouldn't even let these people stand outside"... I start laughing (primarily because we are at lobby- yeah best place ever-, and there was no reason to insult us). He takes offense, and begins to further explain why he is more important than all of us. Once again, fair enough. By now however, its getting late and although I would have loved to stay for a little more comedy its clearly time to go. This guy makes one final attempt by saying something along the lines of "you cant have mccdonalds forever". The BF, who had remained silent until this point, drops some wisdom that had me falling over laughing... "You and your friend, nice people... You got me, I can't compete with you... the difference, you came here and are leaving here alone... me, I may be going to mccdonalds, but I'm leaving with her... and her too".

Moral of the story? this is exactly what some lame in the club in basically anywhere outside of Toronto is saying about the aforementioned yorkville location.
