What if we got really crazy and tried something other than
Chinese/Korean/Japanese foods this time?  Just tossing that out there..

A quick look through Yelp found some interesting items:

http://tacofarm.ca/  - I haven't tried this yet, but the reviews seem very
good.

http://www.beertown.ca/ - also never been here either, but it seems
popular..

Does anyone have any experience with either of these places?
