Post-Christmas food and drinks?

Sun December 27 at 6:00 PM, Porter House
1321 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1X8, Canada (Map & Directions)
Shepherd and I will be in Toronto in December from the 24th to the 28th. Does anyone want to get together for food and drinks after Xmas Eve/Xmas Day/Boxing Day?
We're staying near Trinity Bellwoods park, IIRC. Anyway, I realize it's often family time/travel time, but I thought I'd ask!
We're in town for the holidays - could potentially do Boxing Day.

I was thinking Porter House for food & drinks, but since I don't know their holiday hours, I have emailed them to ask. Shepherd and I had an incredibly good meal there when we saw you guys last (it was a mini-date night) and I am eager to go back and try other dishes.

It's unlikely I'll be able to make it, but I'd never heard of that place! Thanks for the tip!

The chip butty is so exquisite, I am 99% sure my tastebuds wept.

I saw that! I'm thinking that might be my gateway to Marmite.

It is so intensely savoury! And I love Marmite so for me: Marmite plus fries plus good bread equals I DREAM OF YOU EVERY NIGHT SANDWICH.

(OTPH, I do like some intensely savoury things, and from what I hear, the canonical application of Marmite is a scraping, not a glob.)

I have never been, but with the prospect of simultaneously discovering an unfamiliar venue and unfamiliar mefites, I don't see how I can say no.

We're definitely maybe - 27th or 28th could work for us too.

Hi guys, I am going to go ahead and call it for Sunday, the 27th at 6 pm. Porter House is kinda small and they open at 5 so Shepherd and I will try to get there early enough to nab enough seats for all of us (they don't take reservations). If the venue is closed--I still haven't heard back from them--I will update this.

Oh god, I spent the summer after Freshman year living with my girlfriend and her Scottish parents. It will be a cold day in hell before I ever eat a chip butty again.

We have 6 despite Shepherd NOT RVSPing despite me nagging him to do it.
Oh wait, he said he did. Oops.

I hate to do this, but Marisa hasn't been feeling well today. We were hoping she would rally, but she is still bedridden and it's not looking like we're going to make it. Very sorry, especially since we are the organizers! I hope everyone has a great time.

Ah. Well if the organizers can't make it, I think we had better call it off.

Hello, everyone! I am so sorry I couldn't see everyone but when you faint and don't remember why you fainted just that your husband is trying to make sure you're okay because hey why I am on this tile floor, it was better to err on the side of caution.
We're going to try and make it to Toronto more in the New Year so I will see all of you soon. (I am super bummed about not getting my chip butty. I had been dreaming of it for weeks.)
