Titties, Ass and Taco Dip: Betty's

Having just extolled the many virtues of Sneaky Dee’s, it’s difficult to come up with anything original to say about Betty’s, its kindred spirit on Toronto’s east side. Betty’s, originally known as The Betty Ford Clinic, is another equal opportunity boozer with a large, dedicated and diverse clientele of students (mainly from George Brown’s nearby campus), office workers and journalists. I most often find myself there with other publishing types (sometimes on business, but most often not), loaded to the gills on pints of Creemore and noshing Dennis’ Deep Six. This is a six layer dip you’ve truly got to taste to believe, but I’ll warn you now that it’s probably got a calorie count somewhere in the neighbourhood of a half dozen Baconators. If you’re putting back a dump truck of fat and carbs you might as well do it in an atmosphere tastefully appointed with dozens of classic tittie and ass posters from the eighties. Ladies, don’t let this deter you, the wife tells me you are well taken care of in this department as well; the women’s washroom features some stunning appreciations of the masculine corporeal form.
