| - Picture this: it's any month, 2008, you are waiting in line in a packed, garishly lit, immense room, ethnic ramblings are bouncing off tables, booths, and walls, elderly ladies in uniform are pushing you out of the way to get past you with trays of strange food, someone calls "Erin, party of two," you look up at the mirrored ceiling and you see your own reflection, you scream, it's your turn, you have a seat at United Baker's.
The U.B, a Kosher dairy restaurant in the Jewish area of Toronto, has been a tried and true for decades. The place offers hearty soups, traditional Jewish staples like smoked whitefish, lox, potato pancakes, and cabbage rolls. They also have regular Joe foods, like eggs, grilled cheeses etc. But my go-to is the Greek Salad. Even if you have an appetite like refrigerator Perry, don't stray from the small, it is massive. If you are really hungry get a twister bagel on the side.
Let's put it this way, if United Baker's was on Mount SInai when Moses lost his temper, he would have gone into the restaurant calmed down with some rye toast and a bowl of pea soup, come out refreshed, and those cursed broken tablets would have been spared.
