I wanted a touch of nostalgia for lunch. I believe B&B is the last chip shop in Toronto that still packs it in a newspaper cone. My family has been coming here on and off since my mother was a teenager. That's right my MOM. I used to love coming here as a kid and leaving with a cone of hot fries to hold.
NOTHING has changed about the place in decades, for better or for worse. It's a little dingy. It's the same old Chinese man. It used to be OK food for GOOD value and great nostalgia factor. The prices are exorbitant nowadays though. I haven't been in 2 or 3 years, and it is now $12 for fish and chips, 20c for each wing's tartar packet. Serving size is still the same. Thin crisp piece of "halibut" (seemed too soft to be halibut). Lots of fluffy, greasy chips. I don't mind paying for tartar and having a tiny piece of fish when it was $6-9, but when it's $12 that's too much.
Thanks for all the memories, B&B! but you are dying a slow death and will probably be taken off my fish and chips rotation.
