| - I've been wanting to stop by Leslieville pumps for quite some time now.... and why have been waiting this long? after all... it's just a walks away, super convenient, and accepts calls for take out!
Needing some grub while watching the NBA All Star game, my friends and I decided to finally check this place out..... between the three of us, we ordered the pulled pork, hickory chicken, and veginator sandwich.... corn fritters to share and poutine as well. At around 7:30pm, I was told to only have to wait 5 - 10 minutes before picking up (sweet!).
Upon opening the tin foil wrapped sandwiches, I was very pleased to see how big each creation was.... and yes the bun did take up a lot of that! All sandwiches were cut in half, and loaded with meat and veggies. The veginator, which I had was on a ciabata bun. Everyone seemed to be satisfied with their choices... although I was told that the chicken sandwich, was okay but had a nice barbeque flavour to it. The pulled pork was extremely filling with good sauce to meat content (from what I could see). I love portebello mushrooms so the veggie sandwich was perfect for me. Other veggies were not overly soggy and still had crunch, while the raw sprouts added a different texture to each bite. I liked the avocado cream spread on the bread... although I wish the ciabata bun wasn't so thick!
I was excited about the corn fritters and they did not disappoint. They were not heavy but rather fluffy, which I was surprised about - the green sauce it came with was tasty and had a garlic kick to it - beware of garlic breath the entire night!
Overall I was very happy with my meal... here's to more late night calls to Leslieville Pumps!
