His Take: Brunch and Caesars at School in Toronto’s Liberty Village

Every Canadian knows that there is absolutely no better way to cure your hangover than with a caesar and some eggs. Anyone who disagrees has never tried a Caesar, or has never met a Canadian. Unless the Canadian that you met was one of those “I’m not really in to sports, I’m more of a theater person” types. They don’t count. They’re no more Canadian than Brett Hull.  The super trendy Liberty Village hot-spot, School, embraces this as a fact and delivers on what I think is the best brunch in Toronto.

As a Calgarian, it’s not easy for me to admit that anywhere outside of cowtown does a good caesar. Calgary was, after all, where the drink was invented. Up until visiting School, I had yet to be forced in admitting otherwise. The Caesar that School serves up is just spicy enough while still refreshing, and I can guarantee that it will completely obliterate any sense of hangover you thought you had. (For all of you Americans out there, a Caesar is a Bloody Mary with clam juice. Sounds disgusting? Absolutely. However, once you try one, you’ll be addicted for life).

For breakfast, Jamie had the Spanish Scramble and I had the Huevos Racheros. Both were spicy, creative, and delicious… but I definitely liked the Spanish Scramble a bit more than what I had. Don’t get me wrong, the Huevos was amazing. It was basically a mix between an omelette and a taco, complete with beans, guacamole, salsa and sausage. There just wasn’t that much of it. The Spanish Scramble was a bit bigger, and a bit spicier.

Of course, if you’re not entirely in the mood for eggs, School serves up some incredible “Butter Milk Chicken and Waffles,” as well as a couple of burger options, and a whole slew of pancakes/flapjacks. It’s a bit pricier than your average brunch joint with dishes coming in at an average of around $16, but it’s money well spent. The next time your suffering from the previous night’s shenanigans, try to remember this little gem in Liberty Village. You won’t regret it.
