Tollmans 25th Birthday aka This post is 2 months Late aka "My pizza has french fries on it" aka Amato's? Who woulda thought..

5/29/08

A few Saturdays back (I think actually more then a month ago) I had the honour of passing by Jason Tollman's 25th birthday celebration. The party was pretty fresh with a lot of cool party people in attendance, got to see all my favorite Jews including the likes of Greg and Devin Jacobson, Ricky Tollman (J's brother), Rick Dogon and gotta give a shout out to Josh Wolfson. I was surprised that J Tollman's birthday ended early but with that said some of the drunks headed over for pizza to Amato's. I'm not the biggest fan of Amato's just because of what went on with that place a few years back (under payed staff) but I guess pizza is pizza. Jaclyn Klein was thinking freely when she decided to order a slice which came with french fries on it and I was so honoured when Jac offered me a bite of her pizza...totally delicious. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Amato's on College street might be one of the last left since they started closing them down like it was nothing. If your on College Street and feel like pizza don't waste your time going to Amato's just go straight to Massimo's. Oh and almost forgot. Happy Birthday Jason Tollman. Thanks for having me.

Dads B Day aka I ordered food to go aka the pasta was good aka I was late !!!

5/19/08
First off Happy Birthday to my pops.. He recently celebrated his birthday (May 11th). He had a lil' birthday dinner with my family and some close friends, rushed over to the Pickle Barrel after a long day of work to enjoy dinner with the family. Unfortunately due to being late I missed the actual dinner and was forced to order from the "Take out bar". I was really eager to order something filling so I went for the pasta dinner which included Pasta, Tomato sauce, Chicken and spices. Took them a little while to heat it up but for something quick and easy I'm impressed. Reminds me of something that I could make at home but sometimes it's best to leave food to the experts. I always have a tough time making a decision when I eat at the Pickle Barrel and end up ordering the same common dish however I'd have to say this was my first time getting the pasta dish and I'm not mad at it at all. Happy Birthday Dad.. click continue to read for more photos.

Happy Birthday... to Me!

3/27/08


Tuesday March 25th was my Birthday, and I was oh so lucky to have such a nice day with friends and family, and was I ever lucky to even get a b-day call from Avi himself! ( haha, thanks Avi)... and it was at this point that I told Avi where I was for dinner and that, "Oh crap! I forgot to take pictures of my yumm dinner!" with that exclamation, and with our phone call ending, I proceeded to capture what was the remainder of my dinner...a delicious and demolished Tiramisu dessert (interesting to note that in Italian, Tiramisu means 'pick me up'')..

Demolished!!!!

My Post-dinner "Zizi shot"!



there was also some cheesecake and though I looove cheesecake, this one was not all that delicious, just average, really. But the restaurant we went to , and it was our first time there as a result of a recommendation, was called Zizi Trattoria. It was quiet, due to the dreary weather, although the actual restaurant was nice and service was great. I shared some Caprese salad, then with my sister I shared a goat cheese thin crust pizza with roasted red peppers, artichoke, tomato. Everyone's food was so delicious ( I tasted some fish, some spaghetti, veggies....all soo good)! Their pastas and meats are all fantastic. It was a nice end to a lovely 22nd Birthday.....



So If you are in Woodbridge at some point, check out Zizi, for some inexpensive, good-quality simple-ish Italian food.... just go on a night when it isn't raining and there is a bit more of a buzz in the air!
