Take out near the Royal York
Four and Petit Four in the Commerce Court food court (a 5 minute walk) are good, as is Fast Fresh Foods.

Takesushi on Front St is good if you want sushi.

Restaurants with reasonable wine mark-ups?
Could you be more specific? There are a few closed restaurants on the list. What other errors do you see? Short of the Freedom of Information request producing a list, this may be the only worthwhile starting point. You know... unless the Ontario gov't decided to do us all the favour of making the information available online.

Looking for well-priced free-range turkey for Christmas dinner

Well-priced Indian
Iqbal in Thorncliffe Park might do.
Dishes are no more than $9 each. They do decent biryani, butter chicken and naan.

Elegance Chinese Cuisine & Banquet
Hello T Long!
Based on your trusted recommendation, my wife and I gave Elegance a try this lunch time. Dim Sum IMHO, is good quality, very similar to Sam Woo's, but nothing to wow about. Definitely agree with your 'serious competition' comment. One thing that stood out was the courteous and friendly service, especially from the managers. And the tea was very good!
Anyways we ordered the following:
- Har Gow Prawn dumplings
- Baked Pineapple Crusted Char-Siu Buns
- Fried Taro Croquettes
- Steamed Rice Roll 'Cheung Fun' with Prawns and
Yellowing chives
- Fried Mango and prawns roll
- Baked Egg Custard tarts
- Steamed Char Siu Bao
Har Gow was juicy and prawns were crunchy. But like every Toronto Dim Sum establishments, wrappers were a failure!. The baked buns were fluffy, light and good with an abundance of filling. However, a little bit more sauce would be nice! The fried Taro croquettes was good but the same cannot be said about the bland tasting, greasy and overly thick crusted mango and prawn rolls. One of the worse tasting Dim Sum I had this year! Lastly, love the way they 'heat up' the soya sauce for the rice roll! A nice touch!
Overall bill came to $37. Not sure whether this was early-bird pricing?!

Date night in Ottawa
If you are looking in the market area, you might try looking at Sidedoor Contemporary Kitchen. It's a fusion Asian-Taco place - I know, sounds a little crazy for a date night, but it's not anything like a typical taco joint. It's got a great date night vibe and the house-made doughnut sharing platter is absolutely not to be missed. I was there on a recent trip to Ottawa and am inventing excuses to go back just for that doughnut platter....!

County General has it on their dinner menu- but I have found they are SUPER accomodating...so chances are you can call ahead and ask if they would serve it at lunch...

DId anyone watch The Layover Toronto?
I'm not sure Tony's crew went to Caplansky's (but it does get mentioned in the travel channel's travel guide companion to the episode) you may be thinking of some other TV personality for which Mr Bourdain has unkind names. If they did the footage wound up on the floor because I don't recall it from the show.
Zane is too overexposed already (been on a couple shows, known to have shot a DDD episode and pitching his own show [a terribly kept secret]) to fit into Bourdain's house style.

Ursa Restaurant
I found the savory food challenging and interesting but the thing that really stood out for me was the dessert, specifically the deconstructed lemon meringue pie.

To avoid any hassle for this year in advance, DT Bistro on Harbord is open. At least they were opened in the years past for Christmas day....
