| - Let me first state that I'm giving the Bellwoods Diner 3 stars and giving the girl that works there 5 stars. She's just too cute. Honestly, I'm in love.
Alright, back to the diner, it's ok. Actually, no, it's better than ok. There are 2 things to get here. The first is the 1 lb burger and fries for only $6! It's big beyond belief. You've gotta cut it in half just to pick it up. However, other than being really big, it's nothing super special. It's a good burger, not a great burger.
The other thing to get is the clubhouse. Now, I've got a soft spot (aka my stomach) for clubhouse sandwiches but this one definitely delivers. Thick, charbroiled chicken and lots of bacon, lettuce and tomato. Good stuff. I don't think you can get it without the fries and you're not going to want to. Definitely do the gravy. Go on plumpy, you're already eating a clubhouse and fries.
Located on Queen W, just East of Trinity Bellwoods park, this is your archetypal greasy spoon. Somehow I haven't gone here for breakfast yet but I'm sure it's greasy goodness. Of course, there's more to a greasy spoon than just the grease, there's also a fat ethnic owner/cook who is happy to make interesting "conversation" with you whenever you come by. And, as mentioned, there's the damsel in distress, the beautiful server paying her way through something. The Bellwood has all of this, so go check it out...just don't steal my girl.
