| - Is more praise for stockyards really needed? Possible not. But since I was lucky enough to enjoy breakfast there just a few days ago, I thought i would write my review about that. Let me preface the breakfast review with a quick rundown of their menu.
1- Fried Chicken- Its great, its just as good as any fried chicken joint in the US
2- Beef brisket - best ive ever had
3 - Fries - top 5 in the city
4- Porchetta - unreal sandwich
5- pulled pork (i am not a pulled pork fan at all, but friends that are love it)
6 - Pastrami- this is a toss up, the meat itself is unbelievable, just simply the best in the city and rivals schwartzs of montreal which is the best in the world, but unfortunately (and i will be bringing this up on my next visit) the rye bread they use is second tier.
7- burger- you actually cant put it down, i tried, couldnt do it
Now on to breakfast -
I was having trouble deciding between eggs tommy (Deep fried poached eggs on a fresh baked buttermilk biscuit with andouile and shrimp lightly drenched in fresh hollondaise) OR the corned beef hash (cant explain it, it is just heavenly).
The lady (co-owner) offered me the best of both worlds, I got the eggs tommy with a side of the hash. Let me tell you, this was the best breakfast I have ever had in my entire life. This was better then brunch at the four seasons, this was better then jinky's in santa monica, this was everything breakfast was meant to be. Deep fried poached eggs are gods gift to man.
To summarize, Stockyards is God's gift to Toronto. He has graced us with 2 of the kindest and hardest working and creative individuals I have ever met.
