What food scene?

funnylike

All jokes aside tho, if you’ve lived in or visited literally anywhere else (coastal metro) in this country, they probably have a materially better food scene. We are pretty good on the Asian front but it falls apart once you get past sushi and teriyaki. Honorable mention to some of the Indian food I’ve had recently

like

Most pizza, Mexican and Italian restaurants here suck. Many Asian places do as well even tho that’s what Seattle is known for. Restaurants here are overhyped / not worth it. There’s only a handful of restaurants worth our time. One can make better food at home

like

Pizza: Spark Pizza in Redmond is pretty good
Italian: Spinasse

But ya, that's about it

Because it doesn’t compare to the cities it is trying to emulate

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).
