"Their soft serve ice cream and black sesame French toast are both truly bonkers. But Emporio at Keele and Wilson has been serving up classic Uruguayan baked goods called bizcochos for decades now and I finally got to sink my teeth into some," said Gamrot. "My favourite, however, is the stronger-tasting gold kome miso ramen. But if I could only give one piece of advice for eating at this place, it would be this: save room for dessert." The noodles were wider than the belt I was wearing and had the perfect bouncy chew that makes you forget about the other flat noodles you've ever had. Normally, it's a bunch of small seasonal dishes; for Aburi Hana's winter kyō-kaiseki menu, it was a single delicate bowl of dashi-simmered cauliflower mousse." The best things we ate last month in Toronto included some real classics: pasta, pancakes and poutine all made to perfection. It’s a must-try!"

As for the club in general, what do you predict for them in 2023? You play to win trophies, and so for me to play for Toronto FC is a big privilege. As such, you know there would have been a lot of soul-searching when deciding what to do. It's a big responsibility as well." This speaks volumes, when considering the midfielder's ambition to play abroad. It's a big family club ... They're always trying to win and as a player, what more do you want? Despite the signing being a positive for everyone concerned with TFC, it was still perceived as a surprise by some. Apparently, several English Football League clubs were interested in offering him a contract. He is TFC's all-time appearance leader, third overall in goals scored and one of the top players in franchise history. What makes this even more more impressive, is that the 30-year-old's season was compromised by dealing with concussion symptoms.
