Canada 2012 - Night 1 - Zet's

Okay...here goes!

After arriving in YYZ late night, we got our rental car and were wondering where to eat for dinner. I find that sometimes the best recommendations come from locals, not guide books that want to steer visitors to tourist traps.  We wanted someplace that was open at night. Someplace near the airport and someplace good. The guy at the rental car lot recommended several places, such as Swiss Chalet (a Canadian chain that specializes in chicken) and Zet's...

"Zet's...That's Zed-E-T-S!" he told us....

He gave us some simple directions and off we went in search for a late night meal...

Canada Trip - Day 1 Highlights

Hey now...we are in the land that spawned Gedde Lee, Justin Bieber, Mike Myers (not the serial killer in "Halloween"), Ryan Reynolds, William Shatner, David Cronenberg, and Bryan Adams!

Highlights to be posted when possible. Full posts to come upon my return and probably stretched out over the next few months (or years, heh heh! I'm not even done with our Portland trip!)...Day 1 doesn't have too much but here goes anyways!

We touched down quite late in YYZ. Based on the recommendation of the rental car guy, we went here for dinner at 10:30 pm...

Sadly, we did not eat here (if only to say the awesome name). Actually it was next to a Canadian convenience store...

I'm sure the night shift clerk thought he was nearly done until we walked in at 11:45 pm. foraging for snacks for the next day and also waters.

"Aaah shit!" I can't lock up yet! Get out so I can go home!" (was probably going through his mind)

Yeah...we got these chips here. Don't hate until you try 'em...
