Hump-Day: Whose website sucks less?
North 44 – One of Toronto’s best fine dining restaurants,
or
Taquerias El Farolito – Serves excellent Mexican food and has 9 locations in California.
Note: their website is a giant .gif of their menu, and the site says it’s still under construction.
Survey says… North44 sucks more!

Me: (gives up, switches to computer)
Website: Oh! Hi! What can I help you with today?

I love it – This is so true. This same thing happens to me way to much.
My boyfriend and I wanted to go have dinner at 44 North after reading about it on canpages.ca. We went to their website and it’s a total mess. Everything is laid out to be “pretty” but completely non functional. We would have never ended up going if it was based on their site alone, because we never would have found the place!
