He Ate All The Shrimp, And Two Plastic Lobsters:

Taste of the Danforth...what a wonderful concept. On a lazy summer weekend, stroll down the middle of one of the major streets in Toronto, sample all kinds of food (mostly Greek, but there's still an interesting international mix) for low low prices, dodge the rain, give in and buy a $5 umbrella, be a walking advertisement for one of the lemonade stands, watch where you step (stupid corn cobs), learn how to stand in line without letting people pass in front of you, keep the ice cream guy at Demetre's honest (we saw you drop that scoop of vanilla and consider putting it back on the crepe), and check out the street entertainment (maybe that was flamenco dancing after all).

It wasn't until I was on my way home that I realized that Matt's eating pattern reminded me of that Simpsons' episode where Homer takes the Sea Captain to court over the false advertising of his "all-you-can-eat" seafood restaurant. "'Tis no man, 'tis a remorseless eating machine."

"In the heat of summer sunshine, I miss you like nobody else"
