The mark of a really decent restaurant is consistency. How many times have you found a place you really, really love, brag to no end about it and then when you go back with your besties you find yourself wondering what the hell happened? We all have our "go to" places and for me that would be Foxley on the Ossington strip.
I've pretty much been a regular at Foxley for the past year and a half and when I'm jones'ing for something that I can put my finger on, I head straight to Tom Thai's place for the crispy shrimp. Every single time I've been there there the shrimp have been crispy, fresh (you can tell when the meat shreds) and got some kick ass attitude. The jalapeno garlic thai salsa that Tom smothered those gorgeous little nuggets of goodness in still makes me close my eyes and give thanks to the food gods.
My eat meating FARC winger Deanna and I hit up Foxley last night after recovering from the solidified pizza pockets at the Laide Lounge yelp event and it was a perfect end to a fun night. Foxley's was still at full capacity at 9:30 p.m. on a Tuesday night and that should tell you something right there. Tom Thai smiles at me now every time he sees me because he knows exactly what I've come for.
