										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.yestofresh.com/" target="_blank">Yes to Fresh</a>, a not-so-fast food place on King and Jarvis is a mix between <a href="http://www.freshii.com" target="_blank">Freshii</a> and <a href="http://www.sandwichbox.ca/" target="_blank">Sandwich Box</a>.  The menu features sandwiches, salads as well as rice or noodle bowls and diners can pick what they want with their meal via a slip of paper on a clipboard, similar to Freshii (unlike Freshii, there are separate ordering slips for sandwiches and salads/bowls).  However, selection, especially when it comes to sandwiches, is closer to Sandwich Box.  With many different breads to choose from, including wraps and gluten-free selections, Yes to Fresh has the advantage over Freshii, where salad is the main focus and the only sandwiches are wraps and burritos.  All sandwich combos come with chips, a side salad or bottled water.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Sandwich and salad combo</em></strong></p>
<p>At my visit to the restaurant, I ordered a custom vegetarian sandwich.  On pumpernickel bread and with lentil hummus, grilled eggplant, goat cheese, arugula, tomatoes, zucchini and mushrooms, the sandwich was served grilled.  As part of a combo, it came with a mixed green salad, served in a medium sized salad bowl.  To prevent the sandwich from getting too soggy, parchment paper was used to separate it from the salad.  However, a better solution would have been to use a plate.  While the sandwich itself was pretty standard when it comes to vegetarian sandwiches, I do applaud Yes to Fresh for offering such a wide variety of breads, fillings and spreads &#8211; especially spreads.  Not too many places will have lentil hummus, after all.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Order forms</em></strong></p>
<p>The one miss that this restaurant has is the lack of eat-in space.  While I understand that most people are going to buy take-out, it could get tough finding a spot to sit if seating quickly fills up after you order something for eat-in (this is, of course an issue with a lot of places).  And unlike Sandwich Box, the few tables that are there are not communal, so even if one wasn&#8217;t full, it&#8217;s kind of weird to grab a seat without feeling like one is intruding.</p>
<p><em><strong>Yes to Fresh is located at 44 Jarvis Street, just south of King. </strong> </em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grilled cheese is one of my weaknesses.  It&#8217;s so good on a cold winter day, especially when accompanied with tomato soup.  Imagine my excitement when I received an invitation via Twitter to sample some items from <a href="http://www.twitter.com/saycheeseto" target="_blank">Say Cheese</a>, a new grilled cheese bar on Bloor, just west of St. George.  Located at what used to be Mon Berri (the interior more or less looks exactly the same.  It&#8217;s just the concept that has changed), a frozen yogurt and bubble tea restaurant (they still have bubble tea and a bit of yogurt), the restaurant offers many varieties of one of my favourite comfort foods.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Garden Veg Grill, served with a side of mixed greens</em></strong></p>
<p>I arrived at the restaurant on a Thursday afternoon and introduced myself to two of the restaurant&#8217;s staff, Chris and Nigel who promptly let me know about their menu.  This isn&#8217;t just your run-of-the-mill grilled cheese.  In fact, the standard cheddar on white bread was nowhere to be found.  Instead, I tried the Garden Veg Grill (made with brie or goat beemster with roasted red pepper and other grilled veggies) accompanied by a small side salad, a pulled pork and mac and cheese sandwich (the cheese is either beemster or cheddar) and an absolutely delicious berry compote and ricotta French toast.  I have to say that the French toast was my favourite of the three, though the other sandwiches were bad, either.  I first thought that a pulled pork, mac and cheese sandwich was a little bit unusual, but come to think of it, many people add bread crumbs to their macaroni and cheese casseroles.  It&#8217;s just that there&#8217;s more of the bread and less of the mac and cheese in this case.  When mixed with the pulled pork, which was slow cooked in delicious barbecue sauce, it&#8217;s an absolute delight.  The garden veg sandwich was more standard.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Indira&#8217;s Pulled Por</em>k, a sandwich with mac and cheese!</strong></p>
<p>There are many more items on the menu that I&#8217;d love to try, including one called &#8220;An Italian Classic&#8221; (made with buffalo mozzarella, sliced tomatoes and olive oil as well as &#8220;Nice Pair&#8221; (brie or goat beemster with proscuitto and slices of pear.  One thing missing from their menu is my favourite grilled cheese accompaniment, tomato soup.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Grilled French toast with berry compote (this is a half portion)</em></strong></p>
<p>Thanks very much to Chris and Nigel for making recommendations for my tasting!  Say Cheese! is slated to officially open at 337 Bloor Street West in early February.</p>
