Ugh... Shoeless Joes... May as well put Jack Astors in.

When Shoeless Joe's goes in a few years, it will be replaced by Joe's Kilt. Or maybe the Slanted Shoe?

Well that area does seem to be ground zero for lame tourist-trap corporate chains.

I'd have gone in if they had objectified cute male waitstaff by forcing them to wear tiny kilts and crop tops.

I don't mind if restos sell 'sexy' to a point, irrespective of the sex/gender of their staff.
I do mind, if beyond that they have nothing of note culinarily to offer.
I have been to the Tilted Kilt, exactly once, w/some friends, some years back.
The wait staff was certainly soft on the eyes...............but........I never did return.
That said, Shoeless Joe's is still, near certainly, a step down.
Sadly.

On a similar note, about a year ago I went to the Hooters at Adelaide and John for the first time to try the endless wing special (Mondays only, I think), and they were surprisingly decent, so I would go back for that aside from the "view"

I've walked past that spot a ton of times.........often on my way to/from MEC or the Paramount/Scotiabank cinema.
Never really felt the inclination to try; always wondered how something sitting on such pricey real estate could make a go of it; considering that during summers, with windows open, I don't ever recall seeing the place busy.

I went there once because it was next door to my work. The food was so-so.

I attended one of the TTC's virtual shows last night on their Service Plan for 2021.It was quite informative and I was pleased to see they have made some improvements to the routing of the 121 bus from their original proposal. It will still pass Union Station and will only use Mill Street westbound. I am still not sure if it will stop at Union but... Here is the proposed new route (though they have moved Scott Street somewhat further east!)
