Its been a while since we've posted something, and the reason being has been that both Johnny and I were on a pescatarian diet and were deprived of meat, which made blogging about meat painful and torturous. Now that we're back to our meat eating ways, we're free to express our love for meat again on this blog! Hurray!
We continue Johnny's Chinatown adventures in The Ballroom - Bowl, Bar Grill. Thankfully, the website has a different tag line: Sports & Bowl & Rock N' Roll, because Bowl, Bar Grill makes no sense to me. Is the bar grilling or are we talking about a physical bar on the grill?
So The Ballroom is the only bowling alley in downtown Toronto, a fact that they've taken full advantage of and charges a ridiculous amount per lane ($17.50 per half hour!). On top of the bowling alley is a mini 'bar grill' my friends and I waited at since there was a 45 minute wait for our lane.

We came in the afternoon and this was their lunch menu. It's pretty small and they have standard bar type food. The prices are on the expensive side, considering the fact that the only thing that makes this place special is its location on top of a bowling alley.
As we are all true Canadian's, we ordered two heart stopping, heart attack inducing, deep fried poutines.
First up, the Mushroom Poutine: with 'wild mushrooms' (looks pretty unwild to me) and a lot of cheddar curds. This poutine was alright, nothing to be wow-ed over by, but it was not disastrous either.
Johnny, the chicken connoisseur, said that it lacked a certain omph, that little spice to hit the home run.
Although we only sampled their poutine, I'm guessing this place is more for its atmosphere than their food.
The decor does set the mood for the need to bowl and break some pins so they'll have more broken pins to turn into chandeliers though.
As we were bowling, there were multiple glitches with our lane so they gave us at least 2 hours overtime. If anything, at least they were generous.
