• Who says that Toronto is too serious? For those who can push on past 10 p.m., here’s Eye Weekly’s survey of choice spots in oft-misunderstood clubland. [Eye]

• Grilled cheese purists may balk, but a 13-year-old’s maple syrup and peameal bacon recipe won first place at the Canada’s Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich contest. We happened to be on hand for a bite, and we give the French Immersion a thumbs-up. [Toronto Star]

Loyalists of the latter may also note unsettling commonalities between the menus. [Torontoist]
