| - This food truck is a hit with me. Here is why.
We had a work function where Hogtown catered. As someone who has visited BBQ in Texas, I can safely say this has become my number 2 spot for best bbq in Toronto. FYI there isn't a number 3.
I didn't see the prices, but when you have some pretty good bbq, cost really doesn't matter (re: smoking meats for endless hours, knowledge of good wood to use, offset smoker etc.) I ordered the brisket, but here is the trick, don't get it in a sandwich, just the meat. The brisket had a delicious crust (no cayenne, A+), however it was a bit dry on the edges. The middle was moist and flavourful if you got some. Nice and light smoke flavour, it could use more, but it's all in the art.
The cornbread was kinda whatever, more like mini corn muffins, purple slaw had little to no flavour and the root beer beans were way too sweet for my taste. I really think they should drop the sandwiches and just get a side of white wonder bread and meat, texas style. A pickle too.
4 stars for bbq in toronto, however in the grand scheme of world bbq it would've been a 3/5.
