Upon arrival at Union Station this morning the line ups to get downstairs from track 3 were alot busier that usual as one of the stairwells was blocked off by yellow caution tape and a guard was also posted at the top. Now this is unusual although not unprecedented as there have been frequent repairs to the escalator for this particular stairwell in the past year.
As it turns out this was a very unusual day at Union Station. I did happen to have my camera this morning but I would have felt like an idiot taking pictures while EMS staff were taking care of the injured. I wouldn't be surprised if this was due to an escalator malfunction because this particular one always sounded like it was grinding metal especially when there were a ton of people on it. I can only imagine when the first lawsuit is filed. My guess is by early next week. Care to join the pool? Leave a comment with your guess.
My buddy Marc has been teasing me for months about how great the Butter Chicken roti at Gandhi Cuisine is. He described endlessly the creamy rich sauce, moist chicken and perfect potatoes wrapped in a freshly made roti shell. There were only two problems. Gandhi is located in Queen West which is a long haul and its expensive at $11.49. This week we made up our minds and worked out the logistics. Marc and Chad would order the roti for all of us; three butter chicken and one saag paneer.
The verdict? As good as advertised if not a little better. If you order be advised not to get your roti any spicier than medium. For those in the Toronto area I'll post some menu information as the only way I could obtain it is via fax from the restaurant itself. There are plenty of reviews on the web but no detailed menu descriptions.
