Wow, did I really just allude the title of this post to a popular and ever-so-cheesy boy band of my youth? I guess I did. Oh well, moving right along to more relevant topics of the day…

While shooting my latest photo column for Urban Diner, Value Meals Part 2, I got to meet the guys and gals at Gastowns newest diner, Deacon’s Corner. Last week I returned to shoot a few more breakfast and lunch dishes from their menu, as well as interiors, all for their website (soon to be updated).

Here’s the scoop about Deacon’s: if white linen tablecloths, condiments served up in delicate ceramic ramekins and a dash of snootiness during your breakfast is what you’re used to, get ready for a severe dose of…well, basically everything except that.  And in a good way.

The definition of what a diner should be, Deacon’s Corner is casual, screams of that good ol’ neighbourhood feel, and Tyson and his crew serve up home cooked meals that won’t leave you feeling hungry. Seriously, look at the size of that french toast breakfast plate. I was full just shooting it.

For more info, and photos coming soon, visit their website here. And head to Deacon’s next time you’re craving eggs and sausage, french toast, a burger and crispy french fries…anytime between 7am and 3pm during the week and 10am-3pm saturday and sunday.
