Your Toss It Up-date

We’ve come to expect a mob like this at Toss It Up on Sparks St. whenever the Maclean’s crew heads over for lunch, a not-infrequent occurrence. Recession-proof formula for a successful Ottawa restaurant:

• Crowded

• Loud

• Staff shouts numbers at odd intervals

• There are forms to fill out

• Establishment name evokes thoughts of regurgitation

• Food’s good.

Apparently the last point trumps the others.
