 Not to long ago there was a restaurant on Airbrake ave. called Pat's( I
 think). It had some connection with the late Simply French( same chef? )
 Did that restaurant close? Is 'Christines' perhaps a new incarnation of
 Pat's? I'd be curious to know since I was very happy with Pat's the one
 time I went.

 On an unrelated topic, I recently had the grilled portabello sandwich at
 Fuel and Fuddle. Incredible!

 This is indeed in the same location has the now-defunct "Pat's," and
 the actual name is "Christian's at Turtle Creek," not "Christine's." I
 don't know if there's a connection there with Pat's or Simply French,
 but it is excellent.
