Went out to Wvrst this past weekend for the epic birthday celebration of one Taylor O (see his review below).
I need to start by saying that I've walked past Wvrst a many times wondering "what is this mysterious looking joint that just popped up on King West" ?!?! The more I walked by, the more intrigued I became. Well, my long lasting quest to conquer Wvrst became a reality on Saturday as I was walking down King Street craving some fantastic sausage [put in joke here].
ssccccrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeccccccccchhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
But wait, what do you mean you've reached capacity by 9:30 pm !?! How is that even possible ?!? Luckily for me (and after flashing a big Amit smile), I was not one of those people that had to wish Taylor a happy bday over the phone. I got in the place was rocking. Louder than a restaurant should be, but still rockin.
I bee-lined to the counter and got myself a double serving of Italian Currywurst and then picked up a 1L serving of King beer. If you ever need to re-find that feeling of being a MAN, then come here to experience drinking beer out of a 1L mug. Nothing. Compares. You know what else doesn't compare? Having to wait 30 minutes for a chef to cook and chop up a sausage. I could have ate 15 street sausages in that same amount of time. I'm just saying. Although the wait was terrible, I can't say anything terrible about the food - the sausage in the curry was fantastic and my new favorite way to eat a piece of meat.
Is it worth the $6/sausage? Maybe not, but the experience of eating great meat while chugging out of a man mug makes it all worth it at the end of the day.
I'll definitely come back... but probably on a weekday when it's quieter with shorter lineups!
