Point the first:<\/b> I had a lovely time at the den with and last night. Thank you, ladies, for your stimulating company.<\/p>\n

Point the second:<\/b> I dyed my hair an appalling shade of fake red when I got home. Appalling, I say. I think it’s called ‘Radioactive Red’ or something.<\/p>\n

Point the third:<\/b> Justin had friends from work over last night until 3am. They weren’t loud, but they were still audible and… there. This has resulted in me being sleepy as hell today. I missed my train this morning.<\/p>\n

Point the fourth:<\/b> I am convocating tonight, at 7pm. Before that, I would like to eat a little steak with and . Where should we eat?<\/p>\n

– Barberians<\/u>, 7 Elm (Yonge & Dundas). “Barberian’s Steak House is a favorite of theatergoers before or after performances. All steaks come with rice, fries or an enormous baked potato. In addition to the extensive regular wine list, a 38-page catalog offers 1,000 other bottles. Monday-Friday for lunch and dinner, Saturday and Sunday for dinner only. 7 Elm St. (west of Yonge Street) 416-597-0335”<\/p>\n

– Ruth’s Chris<\/a>, 145 Richmond Street West. “Located in the Hilton hotel, Ruth’s Chris is most famous for its USDA prime beef cuts seared at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. This process locks in flavour and natural juices, and it shows. The steakhouse is well known internationally for their famous steaks. The downtown Toronto location boasts a comfortable dining room with impeccable service. (University & Richmond) 416-955-1455”<\/p>\n

– Morton’s of Chicago<\/a>, Park Hyatt Hotel, 4 Avenue Road at Prince Arthur. “No one can fault Morton’s for the quality of their steak: they only use prime USDA aged beef – among the best in the world – Char-broiled at an extremely high temperature, and served exactly as ordered. But all you get for the price is the steak. The potato, the vegetables, everything else, with the exception of the bread, is extra. (Avenue & Bloor) 416-925-0648”<\/p>\n

“Two wines not to miss: Serge Dubard of Domaine du Gouyat, has bought Ch\u00c3\u00a2teau la Claymore in Lussac St-\u00c3\u2030milion<\/a> and his 2000 vintages are stunning – structured wines with masses of fruit and extract”<\/i><\/p>\n

“Powerful & robust: Ch\u00c3\u00a2teau La Claymore, Lussac-St. Emilion<\/a>, Bordeaux, France 2000, Rich in ripe fruits, complex with elegant tannin”<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
