Last Saturday, my thought was to have lunch at a Chinese eatery, as there are quite a number of them. It was a rare move for me to take highway 404 northbound. I normally backroad it. I saw a sign for Chuck's Roadhouse just before I was about to exit. There's a Chuck's in Aurora? I love Chuck's. I must go. I had no problem finding it when I drove north along Bayview Avenue. It's in a plaza with a Starbucks that I frequented often a good decade ago. It occurred to me that this Chuck's is where Shoeless Joe's was. My guess is that Shoeless Joe's moved to where Grandma Loves You is. I had no problem finding a parking spot fairly close to this restaurant. I pulled into a vacant spot and walked in. There are two sets of doors to go through. You go through the first set and hang a left. You go through the second set of doors and you see the signature Harley. I took photos of it. A female staffer welcomed me. I had to repeat myself, saying that I was here to dine in. She asked if the booth ahead of me was good. It was. I got a nice view of the Oilers-Flyers hockey matinee game. My server was Christina. She was wonderful. She was super attentive during my entire stay. I got a Diet Coke with a lime wedge. She made sure that I got refills. My go-to meal at Chuck's is the seven-ounce sirloin steak and lobster tail. It's a steal for $26. I substituted fries for mashed potatoes with gravy. I also got a side order of sauteed mushrooms because I was hungry and craved mushrooms. When it's Wednesday, I tend to do ribs at Chuck's. The deals are decent and, frankly, insane. It didn't take long for my meal to arrive. I was ready to tear it up. I got my steak medium. I typically do medium well, but I find that it gets overcooked when I do. Medium is a good medium! My steak was delicious. It was perfectly seasoned. I didn't need Chuck's steak sauce with it, but I have never had it before. I liked it. The lobster tail was plump and large. I loved dunking morsels of it into my clarified butter. Heck, I love clarified butter. Practically my entire meal went into it! I love mashed potatoes with gravy. It's such a comforting side. The gravy was excellent. The mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery. In the past, this meal featured corn on the cob. I like that you get corn kernels instead. They are easier to eat and, yes, taste better with clarified butter. The skillet of mushrooms were so good. They were sauteed to perfection and flavourful. I'd get them again. I had eyed the butter toffee bread pudding when I had first arrived. The problem? I was stuffed that I couldn't fit it in. Christina suggested that I could get it to go. Yes! She did say that it came with ice cream and it would likely melt. I had an insulated bag in my car, so it wouldn't melt as fast. I said yes to dessert. She had it immediately made as I paid the bill at the table. I tipped and tapped. Easy peasy! She came back with two containers. One had my butter toffee bread pudding. The other had vanilla ice cream with candied pecans in it. Yum! I let her know that she was great. It looked like I had made her day. I left my dessert on the table as I headed to the washroom before I left. There are no doors to get into the men's and women's washrooms. There were a few stalls in the women's washroom. The stall that I used was clean. I liked the wintery decorations by the sink. When I got home, I put the ice cream in the freezer. I had dessert in the evening while watching a hockey game. The butter toffee bread pudding was so good. It was comforting, moist, and not terribly sweet. The vanilla ice cream was excellent. The candied pecans made this ice cream extra special. The texture of the pecans was great with the smooth, cold ice cream. I had a great late lunch here. Service was stellar. I'd return in a heartbeat when I'm in the area. (10)

This allows you to experiment and discover new favourites without committing to a full bottle. You may not like everything you try, but it's always INTERESTING. The selection of wines at Wine on Main is always rotating and expertly curated, offering a range of styles and regions that wonderfully move you out of your comfort zone. The owners, a knowledgeable and curious couple, are passionate about exploring different wines and sharing their discoveries with their guests. Their passion is contagious and you can't help but be swept up in their excitement. The best shop of it's kind in York Region.

The promise of succulent lobster and shrimp always gets me. But I like it when promises are kept. For $17, I received a hamburger sized bun with a smattering of fishy mix. It instantly reminded me of a bad experience of McDonald's when McLobster was introduced--at $8 for a nearly identical experience. Remember when Quiznos had the Lobster and Shrimp sub for $12? I got nearly double the seafood on that puppy. That was big value at the time. The best part was--what for it: the Bun!

A couple Saturdays ago, I was running a few errands. Once I was done, I felt like visiting a diner for lunch. I did a search and found Poached Dreams Diner in Aurora. I didn't mind driving up from Markham to check it out. It was straightforward getting here. I parked in the parking lot and walked in from what looked like the back of the diner. There's also a front door with a patio that faces Wellington Street East. I was immediately greeted by a young, enthusiast woman. I let her know that I needed a table for one. She got me to a comfortable booth by the window. The catch is that you have to watch your step to get to your seat. It's a treat when I have breakfast out. I thought that I'd be getting french toast. Well, all that changed when I saw a heading for comfort foods on the menu. Nothing makes me happier than seeing open-faced sandwiches on a menu. It was probably during my days living in Winnipeg that I fell in love with such sandwiches and at least a side. New goal: come here and have every open-faced sandwich on the menu. I got cold water to start. It was refreshing and much needed after running errands. I ordered these items for my meal: - Diet Coke (2) - Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and veggies My Diet Coke came with a glass with ice. I loved it. I wish the can was larger! I needed a second can for dessert. I loved my hot turkey sandwich. There was a generous amount of sliced turkey smothered in sauce over a slice of white bread. I got to choose my starch. I went with mashed potatoes. There was enough gravy over the turkey that I dunked my spoonfuls of mashed potatoes into it. I loved the steamed veggies. They were perfectly cooked. They also went into the gravy. The meal was delicious. I'd order it again. I felt like dessert. I asked if there was any. Baklava with pistachios. I said yes. I thought that it would be a square or rectangle. Nope. I got a roll. Cool! It was perfect. It had the right amount of honey. It was crispy and yummy. So good! I paid my bill at the table. I tipped and then tapped my credit card. I elected to have the receipt texted to my phone, which also signed me up for its points program. Yay! I learned that this diner has been open since June 2025. I'm always late to any party because I seem to live under a rock or in a cave. I'm glad that I visited this eatery. Great food. Great service. Great! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean and had a full-length mirror. This eatery is huge. It looks like there's a cafe for those grabbing coffee and maybe a snack before leaving. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks. (148)

Upon entering, the space is super spacious and clean. My friend ordered their 2 egg special with bacon, and I ordered their soup and sandwich combo ($12/13).

Amazing food and great service, I would like to come back and try some of their dinners dishes.
