| - Have fond memories of the OG location on Queen East which served up Toronto's answer to Shake Shack and In-N-Out. The buns are fresh and fluffy. The meat tastes super fresh and gets a little caramelized crust from the flattop. And all of it gets enveloped in silky smooth cheese. Add the allure of a (not so) secret menu, and you get something that's spread to more than 10 locations across the GTA. After years of beefing, decided to try a chicken sandwich, namely, The Token, which has Buffalo fried chicken, blue cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Also added an Option which is a panko crusted, deep fried portobello mushroom cap stuffed with cheese. Yeah, that's right. I really wanted to like this, but it's simply not as good as its cow-based brethren. First, the chicken is on the small side, almost slider size in fact, and buried under a much tastier mushroom which becomes the star. Second, the sauce is overwhelmingly tart with a lack of balance begging for more butter to smooth it out. The inflated price added insult to injury. Trust me: chicken out and stick with the beef.
