Toronto Gets Maid
Toronto has long-outgrown its childhood epithet of cultural backwater but one crucial element was missing from the Toronto scene. That is, up until now. The first Toronto Maid Cafe opened and its premise is both deceptively simple and morally fraught. Japanese maids presided over by a chubby Japanese dude wait on you. What solution to Toronto's lacuna of Japanese restaurants serving Borscht and subservient Japanese maid waitresses could be more elegant, more simple? None. On top of Borscht, the restaurant serves coffee, ovaltine, soups, sandwiches and a menu so voluminous to call into question the validity of each individual item. Needless to say, if you are here for the food, you're missing the point.
