"But they’re deathly boring and dining out often means choosing between Swiss Chalet and East Side Mario’s."
Is it any wonder why everyone in the 905 hates Toronto?
Clearly the people of Toronto are completely ignorant to the rich culture that exists west of the 427 and east of the DVP.  In my town we are up to our neck in fabulous Thai, Vietnamese and other ethnic (for lack of a better word) restaurants.   That doesn't include specialty delis where one can buy a vast array of European sausages to take home or have a meal in the deli.  The local tapas bar is one of my favourites. 
While Toronto raves about the Brickworks, it is but a postage stamp compared to the vast forests and tended gardens of the Royal Botanical Gardens. 
Clearly, Yakabusky needs to get out more.
