A Little Winter Can’t Keep a Good Barbecue Man Down

It took until almost the middle of January, but winter cold and snow have finally come to pay Accordion City a visit. Here’s a shot of Mowat street, as seen from the windows of the second floor of the Tucows offices…

Tucows is located in a refurbished warehouse space in a neighborhood of Toronto called Liberty Village, which is occupied largely by old factories that have been converted into lofts and office spaces. This sort of architecture makes it possible for us to have a rooftop deck:

On this rooftop deck is a handy employee perk: a pair of shiny new gas barbecues, hooked up to a gas line.

A good number of us make use of the barbecues in the warmer seasons, but a true barbecueist doesn’t let a little cold and snow get him down. Here’s what I had for lunch today: tasty pork schnitzel, which I paired with a mixed green salad with balsamic dressing. Much better (and cheaper) than going to Burger King:

Sure, it’s not the free cafeteria that Google provides, but it’s a damn sight better than what most offices have to offer!
