| - This is one of the ubiquitous chip trucks parked in front of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Always the truck closest to John St. is a good thing, because i don't have to walk past the other lower quality trucks.
I'm not sure if it recently changed ownership, of just changed cooking staff. There is a nice Husband and Wife (at least they act like they are married). They used to cook at a truck down the street. The only down side to the new cooking staff was there is no one trying to take your women. The last cook would flirt with your girl and ask "What are you doing with an ugly guy like that?" Entertainment while you wait in the longest (and deserved) line of all the trucks. What I don't miss is the old guy grabbing the fries with his hands (yes the same hands he uses for your money).
on to the FOOD:
Fries: fresh cut fries cooked in fairly fresh oil. Large portions. Highly recommended.
Gravy: Dark and tasty not overly salty. Just right. Only $.50 extra for all sizes of fries. He pours it on so its an extra good value if you order large fries. Also Highly Recommended.
Poutine: Same fries and gravy but topped with cheese. Lately they have been using grated cheese (and orange cheddar at that). They had originally had curds, but have switched. Small cheese portion does not warrant the extra cost of the upgrade.
Burger: Flame grilled, cooked to order. It takes a while to cook, but is quite good. Its most likely a frozen patty, but it's about as good as you can get from a fry truck.
Polish Sausage: flame grilled like the sausage, but taking less time, the sausage is large and tasty. My usual order.
Combo: Hot Dog, Sausage, Burger combo's are available. Its really just a Hot Dog, Sausage or Burger with fries. It's $.50 cheaper than buying a separate small fry, but you get a few fewer fries than you would have with a small fry container. No drink included in the combo.
