Sierra's App for Tyler
Blog: http://the-fire-ate-me.tumblr.com/
Name: Sierra
Age: 18
Timezone: Eastern Time Zone
Activity level: Fairly active! Since this may be my second character I’ll try and be on him just as much as I am on Levi!
Contact: All the same as before expect my skype is darky-queen I goofed up on my application and wrote it wrong OTL
~~~~~~~`
Rule: Yes I have! You killed my fish
Desired character: Tyler Cunningham
Why: Well I really love his FC first of all. Plus he’s a lot like myself where we’re both really shy, and personalities like those are great! Since there are a few people he’ll let see the real him and its all about finding someone he can trust! Not to mention I applied for another character that already had two apps in for him and it was making me a little nervous so I figured I’d do this one too just in case I didn’t get the other one!
Sample: It never got easier. Tyler had hoped and preyed that it would but it never did. He could still feel the burning the ripped through him as he changed. The ripping and the breaking of flesh and bone as he changed, from a normal teenager to some sort of sick monster. He would never get used to it. He could see her, the moon full and bright in the night, completely unaware of the pain she caused to creatures of the night. He gasped and howled turning in on himself as he sobbed.
Sometimes Tyler wanted to know what he did when he was a wolf, but when he’d wake up, the tangy taste of iron lingering in his mouth…he was always glad he couldn’t remember. Then he’d continue on with his life, lock himself away and read. Read of far off lands where he was always reminded that he was a monster. The books never sugar coated it, being a werewolf was the worst thing anyone could be. Vampires could control themselves for the most part, but not a wolf, self control was not a word in the mind of a wolf and it never would be.
Days like those Tyler’s ice blue eyes would scan page after page, a thousand words made up of only 26 letters, hours spent trying to learn, trying hate himself a little less. Some wolves would say that after they were changed they felt a live, better than ever. Tyler never felt that way, if anything Tyler felt more dead than ever before. He wasn’t happy and he never would be. This was a curse, a curse of forever being labled the big bad wolf. Even if you never did anything. On days like those Tyler became numb to what he read, he’d curl up when the nigh birds began their songs, he’d close his eyes and cry. Cry until he couldn’t feel his hatred anymore and he would wake up and do it all over again. He wasn’t a big bad wolf in a pure world. He was a pure soul lost in the big bad world.
Whippoorwill Restaurant Profile
By Theresa Spohn
Hi everyone, welcome to our first Restaurant Profile. Joanne Kaileh and I went to check out Whippoorwill last week and came away satisfied and happy.
Time to Eat
Our dinner consisted of two appetizers and two burgers - all extremely tasty and very filling!
I had oysters, small ones from Cook’s Cove in PEI and large Boston blue points. All tasted succulent and flavourful, they were served with lemon, horseradish and Whippoorwill’s own hot pickle sauce. They were so good though all they needed was a quick splash of lemon juice. A plate of four oysters costs $5.00.
Joanne ordered tempura asparagus with a sesame, tahini sauce. They had the Chef Tyler master touch, tasty vegetables with a decidedly Asian flare. This appetizer costs $10.00.
For our main course we both ordered Whippoorwill’s mouthwatering famous burger and fries. Chef Tyler was right once you get started it’s hard to stop eating!
The juicy, medium rare meat patty comes with traditional fixings like pickles, a tomato slice, red onions, cheddar cheese and Whippoorwill’s own special sauce Russian dressing. It’s all held together by a nice, thick toasted bun. The crunchy potato wedges were also highly addictive.
We were grateful there were still some burgers left since Whippoorwill served over a 1000 burgers during Burger Fest. Burger and fries will set you back $14.00 but is definitely worth the price.
A little libation always helps…
Whippoorwill is well known for its cocktail selection. My $15.00 Negroni was served with flare by bartender Tyler (yes, same name as the chef) and I enjoyed a new take on an old drink while helping out a good cause.
Whippoorwill’s version is made with Sarzerac rye, Cynar, Campari and was nicely finished with absinthe and orange bitters. Its smoky, slightly fruity taste went down smoothly and is aptly called a Lucky Luciano.
Whippoorwill’s participation in the Negroni event meant $2.00 from every Negroni sold was donated to Food Share, a charity that aims to provide healthy food for all.
In keeping with a genuine desire for community engagement, Shawn and Tyler are active members of Toronto’s food scene.
On June 17-18 they are participating in the STOP’s Night Market located in Honest Ed’s alley and parking lot.
The Hangout Factor
Tyler and Shawn are relaxed, engaging types that could make anyone feel at home and it’s not surprising that their restaurant has the same kind of vibe.
Whippoorwill is in the diner space formerly occupied by Bloordale Pantry and prior to that the Dale. The Dale, at Lansdowne and Bloor, was a fixture in the neighbourhood for over 50 years and Whippoorwill pays tribute to its heritage with a large Dale mural down one side of the restaurant and an oil painting of the Dale storefront in the back.
In the addition to the wall art, you’ll find comfy red leather booths with matching stools at the bar, wooden tables and chairs, a classic bar with rows of colourful liquor bottles and old wooden theatre seats to accommodate waiting guests.
The homey touches really help give the place the feeling of dad’s rec room from a simpler time. The deer’s head on the back wall belongs to Chef Tyler’s dad and there’s also a set of antlers decorating the bar.
But it’s the bookshelf, chock-a-block full of old books and knickknacks, on the wall opposite the Dale oil painting that is most reminiscent of time before every home was full of beeping electronics.
The sense of time and place is reflected in the playlist including country tunes, doo-wop, R&B and swing, with much of it from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
Tyler and Shawn are happy to have customers linger and are all about the experience. On Thursday nights there’s a live jazz-jumping-jive band and dancing is strongly encouraged!
Where Ya Gonna Be?
Whippoorwill is located in the area called Bloordale Village. Once known for it’s shady characters and less then legal activity. The neighbourhood, like many parts of the old city of Toronto, is quickly gentrifying.
New restaurants and condo developments keep popping up. Shawn saw similar changes happen on Ossington Avenue in the eight years since he opened the Dakota Tavern, one of the city’s well-known music venues. At first there was “activity on the street you just didn’t want to get involved in” but now it’s like “Disneyland” he said.
What’s in a Name?
Just in case you were wondering…
Chef Tyler Cunningham told us the name reminds him of Whippoorwill Bay off the Bruce Peninsula where he likes to go hiking in Lions Head Provincial Nature Reserve.
For co-owner and country singer Shawn Creamer, singing about whippoorwills comes with the territory.
