Will it link back to the original?

If not - could we please get that feature added?

Yup! Working on it. :)

Fresh Foodie I know you are working on it but may I make the additional suggestion of disabling the "create new topic..." comment at the end previous thread or something like that to prevent people from continuing multiple new threads? Because we now have two threads continuing from the last one - this one and the "New openings and closings 2014" one...

But I have no problem with forking a closed topic into two new topics. Don't think of forum topics as file folders -- it just isn't that rigid. Free yourself and fly with the wind! Wheeeee! :D

Fresh Foodie Sorry but my background in the library/records field wants everything neat and orderly... I am trying real hard to change but sometimes change doesn't come that easily-;)

Flyyyyyyyyy with me!!! :-)

I assume it is done to speed the site up.

I'm not sure whether there are any numbers behind it and what kind of speed differences we are talking about, though.

Yes, when search-engine spiders come by and load a forum page with hundreds of postings (with photos), site performance takes a hit.

There's also the "dead horse" theory of forums. After the first 30-50 postings, there is either a need for a new topic or the old topic is beyond the point of useful discussion.

Personally, I'd prefer to see separate forum topics like "Macarons et Madeleines moving to Wellington West" and "Domus Cafe closing" over the arbitrary and non-specific "Openings/Closings 2014". But this is a community driven site and everyone is free to create whatever topics they wish. :)

Brampton Meats.

Has anyone tried this place yet ?

They're Yelping and Urbanspooning big-time about it.

Looks good ... at a good price. Marinated meats ... ready for the gas grill.

Probably in the spot where Andy's South East Asian Grocery store was.

I go by that place on my way home from flight school. I'll pop in next time.

9.99 for a Non-veg Thali is a steal...Ill definitely drop by this week.

It there a new Indian restaurant on Ogilvie Rd., near Mandarin Ogilvie and the St. Laurent Mall, on the south side of the street? Has anyone tried it? Looking for reviews.

So Lowertown Brewery has opened to absolutely no fanfare at all... anyone been by? They have a menu on their facebook page, but no list of beers, just the "Lager and Dark" served at the marathon.

Passport Café - On Merivale in the same plaza as Shaan Curry House.

Rideau Centre has announced the restaurant line-up for its redesigned food court:

Seed to Sausage General Store opens Tuesday.

Where Joey's seafood and Digby's was on Bank st, there is some new Middle Eastern place that just opened.

Fiazza Pizza is open on Murray St where Pecco's bike shop used to be. If you like Cheezy Luigi's...

The "new Indian restaurant on Ogilvie Rd" is located beside the Electrical and Plumbing Store just east of St. Laurent Blvd. It is called Palki Cuisine of India. It's been open for a couple of months (lunch and dinner). At first there didn't seem to be anyone there but yesterday when I drove by at lunchtime you could see people eating at the tables by the front window. I don't know anyone who has eaten there.

There is a new upscale take-out place situated in kind of a funny spot on Maitland Ave at Woodward, right by the Queensway exit called Take-Away Gourmet. They have ready-made meals, packaged meals, soups, fancy coffee and slushies, etc. I had two very good paninis here. The specials look very interesting, and all seem to be made with upmarket ingredients, stuff like lobster cannelloni, braised lamb shank, maple salmon fish cakes, lobster rolls, beef stroganoff, bouef bourguignon, etc. There are picnic tables in the back if you want to eat there too. Nice option in the neighbourhood or if you work in the Carlington industrial park.

@lemontart, yes that is the name of the Indian Place, thanks for reminding me. "Palki Cuisine of India"

I found their website:

palkicuisineofindia.com/

I notice they have a lot of vegetarian dishes.
