| - I need to write this review, because I've been blathering to coworkers and even strangers how awesome this place was!
So, Lee and I were pondering our choices for dinner, we had already had a pretty great lunch earlier in the day, and we were maybe thinking something lighter.
"How about this place, it's got lots of good ratings?"
Ha, yeah it's just a sandwich place, sure, it will be light. HA.
So we stopped in, and were shown to a table. The whole place is pretty nice, right downtown, near the central park area. It's warm and comfortable.
The server asked if we were there because we'd seen the place on "You Gotta Eat Here" (which is Canada's classier version of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.) Nope, we hadn't even seen the episode.
She made a couple of recommendations as to which were their most popular sandwiches, which are the Beefeater and the Pulled Pork and Beanasaurus. She also suggested that a lot of people order two different sandwiches and then switch halves, an idea that we were totally behind. They were running out of the mac and cheese bites, so we ordered the last Pulled pork and Beanasaurus, and we also ordered the Turkey and Waffles. For starters, we tried the ATBs, which are bacon wrapped jalapenos, stuffed with cream cheese, dates and house-made chorizo. Those were pretty delicious!
We ordered a couple of beers, munched on the ATBs, and awaited our sandwiches.
Oh my goodness! They come on 10" soft baguettes, and I would really love to know where they get that bread, because it was incredible! Crusty but not so much that it messes up the roof of your mouth, and just soft and warm and delicious.
So the Pulled Pork and Beanasaurus: Yummy, melting pulled pork that wasn't sweet (one of Lee's pet peeves, he hates sugary barbecue sauce.) it was smoky and beany and the little bits of mac and cheese added a nice cheesy pop.
The Turkey and Waffle: I hate to use cliches, but it was a complete flavor explosion and texture sensation in my mouth. I'm still thinking about it today! It was nice smoked turkey, the thai sauce on the waffles was just incredibly yummy.
So if you are ever anywhere near Brampton. GO HERE. You will not regret it. My regret is I live an hour and a half and an international border away, or I would be back ASAP to try all the other sandwiches.
