    We did Nuit Blance lite this year and for food just stuck to two O&B locations close to each other.

    The pulled pork poutine at O&B across from Sony Centre was incredibly awesome. We had it last year and it was decent but this was fantastic,

    Meatball sub from Jump was very good too. Three balls that were a mix of lamb, pork and beef in a very fresh tasting red sauce. The house made hot sauce they had out was excellent too.

    Both were an excellent value at $5 each. Two of us made a late dinner ouf of those and were too stuffed to eat dessert from Baker Street on the way home.

      I didn't end up making it to Food Truck Eats and like abigllama I had the Jump meatball sandwich. I enjoyed it and thought it was worth the price for portion too. It was weird eating it in the middle of the "SOON" nuit blanche event on the Jump Patio :) I had eaten a hero burger for dinner (we had vouchers... actually, I enjoyed the 4oz burger MUCH more than their normal size burger, I will order that size next time) and there were fries included so I wasn't up for Pulled Pork but there was absolutely no line up for that or the Pork Rinds (which Biff was serving at the same spot along Yonge). I didn't try the Luma offering because they were doing the same item they did for 1000 tastes I think. By the time I got to Bannock they were closed.

      Curious if anyone got to KSR or to the "battle" behind Devl's Workshop. I would have liked to go but we didn't make it to Queen West at all.. The weather got horrible and we started waiting for a street car to head over there and the security guard said no street car had gone by in that direction for over an hour! Ended up having to walk quiet a bit back to my car. Anyway, I will limit my opinions to the food (although it was a fun night overall) :)

      Oh, baker street was also offering cupcakes including mini ones and 2 small pies. I had one of their pies at a past Food Truck Eats and enjoyed it. Friend had the apple pie last night.. Seemed to be holes in the filling. After I saw Baker Street offered in grocery stores it lost the appeal to me :)

        Almost forgot, the hot apple cider with run drinks they were selling at Jump were also awesome. Agreed it was weird eating in the chaos of the exhibit! The guy serving the meatball subs was getting a bit overwhelmed by the smoke machine.

        At the art project at the Casa Loma stables (created by a Japanese artist) there were Japanese people selling miso soup, onigiri and green tea. I had the soup and the onigiri and it was nice, esp. the soup (with lots of tofu) which was warming on a cool night.

                  Fresh on Crawford will be open until 2am (vs 10pm normally) - http://www.freshrestaurants.ca/main.asp

                  Baker Street (the pie people at Food Truck eats before) say they will be at Yonge and Dundonald (just off Yonge) from 7pm to 7am - http://www.bakerstreet.ca/scotiabank-...

                    That's handy because Fresh and "Devil's Workshop" are side by side and on the cusp of all 3 zones.
