The sign says Tasty Chicken House, the food inspection sign says New Tasty Chicken House. Let's think about that name:
New - Nothing here is new. On the contrary, everything is old. The building, the furniture inside, the TV, the bench outside, the customers. ESPECIALLY the customers.
Tasty - I suppose the beer and chips could be tasty to some, but it's tough to stomach anything with the "scenery".
Chicken - There is absolutely no chicken at the New Tasty Chicken House. None
House - As I mentioned - it's a run down building. I don't think anybody lives here. At least, I hope not.
The most prominent feature here are the people smoking outside.and the people who have just finished their cigarettes drinking bottles of beer inside. They stare at you with faces that only many years of rough living can create.
This place is beyond the frontier of the wave of gentrification that is sweeping across Leslieville. Its days are numbered. For now, go here if you want to slum it, but you're not going to have a good time.
