| - I went back to Doomie's and they had the jalapeño poppers that I missed out on last time. I was however given yet another list of things they were out of (ie any "chicken" dish except 2) which begs the question... why doesn't Doomie's just either plan deliveries better or have daily menus? I'm looking at several reviews from this week and other people mention the lack of "chicken," too. They should have this down by now, so I don't get it. The waitress was so nice, I couldn't be cranky. Plus, hello, poppers!
They are fucking incredible. Like so good, I'm sitting here right now with my mouth watering just thinking about them. They are huge, like 2.5 bites big, super crispy and if you cut one out, it's like a volcano of yellow cheddar-style cheese oozing out of a delicious real jalapeño pepper. Normally I hate ranch anything, but the vegan ranch they come with ain't bad. It's an appetizer that I wish I had just made my meal because the asada tacos, unfortunately, are a bit of a miss. Super dry and tasteless. On the other hand, those refried beans that come with? As delicious as those tacos were disappointing.
So, I have mixed feelings about Doomies. The things I have loved (poppers, jalapeño fries, refried beans) are out of this world. The things I have really not loved (or even liked enough to finish) give me pause. But I'll get it right eventually and keep Doomies on regular rotation for vegan comfort food when in Toronto. Also their waitstaff is just the loveliest.
