| - Being the chronic brunchers that we are, my partner and I felt it was time to check out the Hoof Cafe for breakfast this past Sunday. The boat-load of 4-5 star reviews on Yelp were pretty enticing so we made our way down to Dundas and Shaw to see what all the fuss was about.
ON my end, the food was porky and good. I ordered the Pig Tails and Home Made Grits, and my lady, the Suckling Pig Benny. Being raised in a Muslim household, my gf has never been a huge fan of pork, she just never acquired a taste for it. So when her Suckling Pig Benny arrived, one bite was all she could handle. Luckily for her, i am a devout carnivore, and obliged in eating BOTH of our pig laden meals, while she ordered the french toast instead, it was verrrry sweet, and she was satiated. I, after pigging out, was understandably stuffed.
I also tried the Hoof Cesar, and though 8 bucks for a shot of vodka + mix is bordering on ridiculous, the other home-made ingredients they used made it worth it (sort of)...
So the dishes at the hoof cafe were great for me and you'd be hard pressed to find any meat-eating meatitarian who would disagree. If you go, be prepared to eat pigs, in every shape, dish, and style. Know that, and you you will get what you pay for in spades.
