I seem to make a habit of ignoring places that serve Awesome food in my neighbourhood. The Annex Hodgepodge was one of them... But not anymore!
It's a tiny shop along the Dupont Strip and I've passed by it everyday to and from work for over a year. I'm not a sandwich person, but I crave it once in a while. Decided to stop in after work to finally try one of their sandwiches.
I had:
- The Madison
Wow! Packed with perfectly seasoned chicken, good chipotle and sundried tomato flavour. The bread was nice and crispy.
- side of squash pasta salad
Great balanced flavour with a hint of spice.
- a jar of spicy sweet potato soup $10/750ml
It's in my fridge, will try it soon enough. The sandwich and pasta salad were very filling, I only got thru half.
The space is tight with 2 tables and 4 stool, but it's nice and cozy, especially on a rainy day like today. The lady at the counter prepared the food pretty fast. The debit machine was a bit tempermental, but she was able to get it to work.
This place is a must if you want a great sandwich! It's near the Dupont subway station. They're the one with the black and white striped awning.
Definitely coming back here to try the rest of the menu.
