The Good Son at the Shops at Don Mills is the uptown room of a two-shop Toronto house. Official copy still says come for the food, stay for the evening: shared plates, a wood-burning M.A.M. oven from Italy, pizzas that sit between Roma and Neapolitan.

The Queen West shop taught the menu. This June line is Karl Fraser Road — couples and families in the plaza. The photograph is the old Don Mills Centre from Wikimedia, the land the shops replaced.

A Wednesday statement. The oven is the argument.
