I get my pesto exclusively from Duso's at GI - it's f*cking deliriously good
also get most of my cold cuts, forcemeats, sausages from Oyama which is right beside them
as for bread, Terra has some really good artisan bread, as well as specialty breads - but my usual spot is (partly for convenience, partly for price, and partly coz I'm hooked on it) Manzano's in Metrotown for this potato oregano loaf they sell that has a crust that gives a crunch only matched by the best "siu yok"
I'm looking to find some good brisket to use for my new slow cooker though so if anyone has any advice - I'd appreciate it
