| - Meat dreams are made of these.....I think this was Annie's original intent on these lyrics. I believe that the reason they were changed was some angry vegetarian stepped in with a broccoli wand and stopped the masterpiece. Who then would preach the truth, and tell us about the real vegetables in life - MEAT?! Oh, Darryl, that is who. And get back Christine C., you are already married. If he wasn't married, I would have married him right then and there. As you can tell from the look on my face in Christine's photos, I was in meat heaven. I have discovered heaven, and f**k me - it was right near me when I lived in the hell hole shwa, and I didn't even know it!
This place deserves my highest rating of SLAP MY ASS AND CALL ME SALLY. I was in such food nirvana that you could have slapped my ass and called me Sally, and I honestly wouldn't have noticed.
This place is actually set up as a meat processing plant in a strip mall. So austere and non descript, that you wouldn't even notice it. My favourite "bells and whistles" in the place are the 2 jiffy pops hanging over the doorway. When someone from our religious group (aka the meat samplers) asked Darryl why there was jiffy pop above the doorway, he said it is a redneck fire alarm. If it gets too hot in there, the popcorn she start a popping.
For $30, we feasted. There was so much meat, I couldn't eat it all. And, I was really glad I ate a salad before I went to meat heaven.
The bacon candy I think was one of my favs. Buster's makes their own bacon. Yes meat worshipers, you heard it right - their own bacon. The bacon candy is achieved by cooking the bacon with a rub and brown sugar mixture to create a bit of a sugary exterior. Simple and divine.
The Jalapeno pops were so good. The only bits of green in sight! Again, bacon was the the blanket of love around these puppies.
The bacon explosion was so over the top decadent that it was amazing. You will see from Christine's photos, that NONE of the items were greasy. And being served on paper plates, you would spot the grease from a mile away. The in house bacon and long and slow processes really aid in this pork defying amazement.
The brisket. Oh, sweet Jesus, it was so good. Thinly sliced and succulent. This is the stuff Annie Lennox was singing about. I tried it sans sauce, and it was excellent. I tried it with sauce, again, excellent. The meat God, Darryl, informed us that Canadians like our meat saucy, and that by default we put sauce on smoked meat. I tried each of the items with and without the sauce. The meat is so tender and has such a great smoky flavour that they really can go without.
The pulled pork, again, amazing. This one I did prefer with the sauce (and what a sauce Buster's makes!! Wow!!). The coleslaw really adds a nice crunchy texture to the meat. Again, great.
The ribs were so juicy and smokey. I preferred them with the sauce as well. But with the quality of meat, these bones stand on their own - no sauce required. The hush puppies that came with them were absolutely amazing. If you like corn bread, you will love these.
The zinger of the night was the smoked Mars bar. It reminded me of smores around the campfire at Brownie camp. Delish and smokey. The way God (Darryl, and Annie Lennox) truly intended them to be.
At our table of four [Christine, her husband Dennis, my mom (aka The Mulva) and myself], we all fell in love with Buster's and his fine selection of meat. I am so pleased to say that another location has opened up (this one in the shwa at Taunton and Simcoe) and it is opened on weekends, where this southern Whitby one is not.
I cannot say enough about the quality of the meats here (all local Ontario meats). Look at the pictures. Too bad we don't have scratch and sniff abilities on our monitors.....
