There is nothing worse about living in Ontario than its severe lack of donair. God what I'd give for a teleporter to Tony's.
Drive to Windsor you can get them everywhere.
Halifax style?
What constitutes Halifax style exacrly, besides no lettuce. Windsor is an uncultured armpit wreck of a city, but they have some of the best food compared to rest of Canada. My assumption is that for a very long time Windsor was the auto mecca with highpay and cheapest housing which led to lots of disposable income and families eating dinner out most days of the week, it grew tons of competition to be the best (insert food type) restaurant. There aren't a lot of Indian places, but if you want Italian, Greek, Thai Jamaican, Lebanese, amazing Pizza, Donairs, Gyros etc (I'm sure I'm missing a ton of its all there. They used to have a Festival Epicure so you could sample from all nations.
Best I found in Ontario was a schwarma.
Shawarma is superior to donair. Anyone who thinks otherwise is still feeling the after effects of the Halifax Explosion and needs immediate medical attention.
There’s a few places around southwestern Ontario that ain’t too bad. Sammy’s Donair I. Burlington is a decent one. There used to be a place in the Danforth called the Fuzz Box that was run by a guy from Berwick, but that place closed down a while ago now. There used to be a place called Halifax Original Donair that had locations in Burlington and Milton but I see that they retired literally two weeks ago and closed down. If you’re in the Burlington area, I guess Sammy’s is your best bet.
Walter, is this you? I was at Tony's when I visited Halifax and I was shocked at the amount of sugar in that thing.
