Happy Obama Appreciation Day for all who celebrate! #NoKings

@JMKilgour Although staying up to watch the late game, then going to Must Be The Place for a night cap does make it hard to get up early to prep for brunch!

Unpopular opinion. I love these late games (and afternoon games). They're way better for business. We get to have our regular dinner rush, and then bars/restaurants are filled during a time when we would normally start to clear out.

@politvidchannel Can we have Minnesota too?

TOP Canadian politician Elizabeth May suggested the three west coast states of California, Oregon and Washington would be better off becoming part of the Great White North. She said they would benefit from universal healthcare and stricter gun laws if they chose to secede.

BREAKING: TOP Canadian politician Just urged THREE U.S. states to join Canada and get universal healthcare and NO NRA

"Everything is out of control" said Mr. Poilievre this morning. Let's look at some of the ways Canada is "broken" and ask if that claim is really true or is hyperbole. - 1/3 Opinion by @TheGrtRecession

@3rdtimewalter Love Porter!

Anyone who has flown Porter out of Toronto Pearson, is the low cost worth it? Any problems? Booking a return trip to Vancouver, cost is approx. $700 cheaper than Air Canada and West Jet. I need some feedback, good or bad. Thanks!

@PierrePoilievre Are the jobs moving from Alberta, the money from Manitoba and Saskatchewan, businesses from Ontario and investments from Quebec? Are BC, the Atlantic Provinces and the northern territories all safe? Or do I just not understand your stupid map?

NDP-Liberals passed a law quadrupling the carbon tax to $0.61/L step-by-step over the next five years. If they succeed, our jobs, money and business will head south. Axe the tax: conservative.ca/cpc/axethetax/

@RichardBlais Why not both?

Breakfast sausage or Bacon?

@guarnaschelli Yes!

Carrot cake. Canned pineapple in the cake batter or no?

Holy moly. MAGA is losing their mind over an uncovered video from 2016 where Donald Trump says people should use the bathroom they feel is inappropriate and speaks out against trans bathroom bills. RT this so MAGA implodes.

1. There’s an argument I want to discuss. It goes something like this: Donald Trump’s policies are going to alienate some of the people who voted for him.

My kid is doing a pulled pork and eggs breakfast tomorrow with slaw, cornbread and jalapeños. You should check it out @BuvetteWpg 10-2

@Lilith_Atheist Did they go extinct cause they were too big to fit on the Ark?

@elonmusk Criminals running for president are overwhelmingly in the Republican Party.

Criminals vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party, because it is the soft-on-crime party. Therefore the obvious incentive of the Democratic Party is to maximize the number of criminals who can vote. The Dems are also always pushing to allow all felons to vote in federal elections, because they know it helps them win. This is a fact, not conjecture.

@Maximumatheist I’ve always read that story as a chef taking credit for all the hard work of the prep and line cooks in the back kitchen, I can hear them in the back “fire more loaves, fire more fishes!”

The Bible is just a fairy tale book.

@no_half_stepn @Dean_Winnipeg Too many syllables for his followers.

Just so I’m clear - Pierre Poilievre is mad that CTV made it sound like he wants to cut the dental program? What’s the complaint - that they said it before he did? Or that he didn’t have a 3 word slogan ready for it? I don’t think it’s any secret.

@tomcolicchio @gailsimmons @KristenLKish Are you coming to Canada?

You’ve all been waiting and it’s finally here. I’m going on tour with WHY I COOK, my first book in almost 15 years. I can’t wait to hit the road and I’m lucky to have some great friends along for the ride, including @gailsimmons & @KristenLKish and a lot of great bookstores too. I’ll be kicking off in New Jersey where it all began - with more dates to be announced soon. Check the link in my bio for tickets and preorders: tomcolicchio.com/tomontour

@1003TheBear Chi Chi’s Polo Park, but it no longer exists… every once in a while I revive it for a fun pop up.

@JennArndt Looks perfectly delicious!

@RichardBlais Babette’s Feast

Help me settle a family ( restaurant family ) debate. The best “food movie” of all time is?
