Helluva Lot More Than Just a Taste: Fuddruckers

1 lb. Bacon and Cheddar Burger w/ fries...

I showed Fuddruckers that I am a boss. I owned both their 1 lb. burger and their handicap stall in the men's room afterwards.

Considering that massive mess of meat, it actually tasted pretty good! 

Try it or don't. Man up or don't.

Adidas adiPure IV SL

I began my new job this month as a janitor for the public school board. The reason why I bring this up is because I will miss almost all of my matches this month. When I return I plan on returning with a new pair of boots. My brother reads on soccer forums often and keeps me up to date with new products and such. He mentioned a  while ago about the new adiPure.

The adiPure IV SL is unique because it has the classic kangaroo leather upper but this time with the adiZero Traxion sole plate. The adiZero is the lightest shoe that is in the soccer/football market at 5.8 ounces. The adiPure stands strong beside it at 7.0 ounces, providing a lightweight shoe with a great touch. Currently I have been playing in the adiPure I. I generally have a heavier leather pair and a lightweight microfiber shoe, but now I can have the best of both worlds.

Just a Taste: Cupcake Conspiracy

"Keep your friends close and your cupcakes closer"

thecupcakeconspiracy.ca

I was downtown with a few friends the other day and we decided to give this place a try, as we had never even been inside before. I asked if I could snap a few pictures with my phone, and we picked out half a dozen cupcakes to try...

I really liked the atmosphere, which I think was largely due to the clean, fresh layout of the place. The staff was friendly, and they served a sweet variety of cupcakes in different colors and flavors. I dare you to get over the calories and take a few bites...

Just a Taste: Aroma Resto Bar

This weekend I went to Aroma Resto Bar for my friend Erin's birthday. It was actually better than I expected, the service was constant and courteous, and the food was delicious. 

For those of you who don't know, Aroma operates out of the Radisson Hotel on 20th st. between 4th Ave. and Spadina.

The menu was surprisingly extensive, with a lot of pasta, pizza, and BEEF. I love beef. The majority of the people in our party ordered different kinds of pizza's, which boasted names such as "Da Em and Em". 

I ordered the 9 oz. Striploin (rare) with potatoes and prawns. The steak was tender and excellent, and the prawns just sent it over the top.

If you're in search of a new restaurant to try, Aroma is a great place for dates, parties, or even family dinner. It is within a decent price range (approx. 10-35 dollars/plate), and comes with a respectable level of customer service and class. Give it a try.

Nike Sb: June Quickstrike

According to Hypebeast, this will be June's quickstrike. The Nike SB "Woodgrain" definitely reminds me of the Michael Lau model but at a lower price point. Although we were told that no leather laces were going to be produced, it looks like this pair will have them pre-laced. Hopefully Momentum Marketplace will get to see these this month.

Love the North,

Koston One

Scratch that previous post about the Koston One. It  has a set release on June 1 (tomorrow).

Champion's League Final

Neither Manchester United or Barcelona are my favorites, but my heart rests with Man. U. for this match.
