Do it the local way: A medium fat smoke meat with cherry coke and a pickle, as described in one of the greatest Canadian literature "Barney's Version" by Mordecai Richler.
The local vibe and flavor really bring you back in time, especially late at night when there're less tourists. And you get to observe something like this: an old staff at the counter talked about life lessons and how to stay in a happy marriage to the younger staffs, an up-tight couple wearing fur coats and cocktail outfits showed up at the doorway and got turned down by the servers...
It's certainly a special place that you can't find elsewhere :)
