Breakfast, lunch & dinner: Russell Oliver

What the cashman would eat on a perfect day.

Breakfast
Poached eggs at The Senator Diner (pictured above)
“The eggs come with baked beans and challah toast. Their freshly squeezed orange juice is some of the best in the city.”
$6.25. 249 Victoria St., #DTN 416-364-7517.

Lunch
Steak sandwich at Olliffe’s Butcher Shop
“The sandwich is custom-made. I top mine with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo, and it comes on a delicious fresh egg bun. I love the line of fat that runs along the edge of the steak.”
$12. 1097 Yonge St., #ROS 416-928-0296.

Dinner
Baby back ribs at House of Chan
“I’ve been eating here since I came to Canada, over 50 years ago. It’s hard to pick one favourite dish, but the ribs would have to be it. They hardly require any sauce, because they’re just so tender and juicy.”
$24. 876 Eglinton Ave. W., #FOR 416-781-5575.
