| - I'm surprised at the Yelp reviews.
Don't get me wrong, the service is impeccable. The place is spotless and I LOVE how nice they are. They're really good, passionate guys.
..but either my tastebuds are shot and/or Pulled Pork and Beef Brisket is not for me, or ... no, it must be that people have not had good sandwiches before or general sandwich standards are very low.
I got the Turkey Club sandwich, Pulled Pork, and Beef Brisket (yes, I tried all the ones recommended by others). I avoided the Seafood PoBoy because I don't like deep fried seafood. It's a travesty to deep fry something that is already inherently so tasty with just a pinch of salt, and lightly steamed.
You should only deep fry stuff like chicken breast when it's dry, so that no one notices how awful it tastes.
Anyway, here are my reviews:
Pulled Pork / Beef Brisket: Sorry, but Beef Brisket doesn't measure up to Montreal's standards... Both sandwiches were just bland, and the bread choice was too soft. I don't like bread that is so soft that it turns soggy if you don't eat it within 5 seconds.
I found the BBQ sauce perfectly fine (not too sweet), but there's something about Pulled Pork that makes me want to vomit when I eat it, so I think I'll avoid this sandwich in the future.
Beef Brisket on the other hand, I was expecting to be tasty and delicious and it was not. The overcooked, slimy red peppers and onions didn't add to the experience and I was missing some major CRUNCH in there, like a pickle or herbs like cilantro or....... I dunno, something that would have given this bland sandwich some flavour. Maybe some melted cheese would have helped.
All I tasted was the texture of meat, this super soft icky Subway-style bun and the BBQ sauce which was thankfully not too sweet but really not the point of eating a sandwich. You could have put tempeh tofu in there and it would have tasted the same.
Turkey Club: Everything was fantastic on this sandwich EXCEPT THE TURKEY.
LOVED the bacon. LOVED the guacamole. LOVED IT ALL even the crispy toasted bread. Perfect balance..... that was totally ruined by the turkey.
The turkey was dry and mealy. SO dry and mealy that at one point, I wondered if they had put lean ground beef in here, until I inspected the sandwich closely and realized what I thought was lean ground beef was actually the super dry, white, mealy turkey.
In the end, the best sandwich is the Turkey Club.
So ask for the Turkey Club, but hold the turkey.
I WILL go back here, but only to try it one more time before giving up.
