An instant favorite.
Now, there's no more need to truck down to Greensboro for Sticks and Stones Pizza. We have our own indie rock fast food shrine.... and it's stellar.
This amazingly friendly shop is tucked in just-out-of-the-field-of-vision on an upper step on the south side around Palmerston and Bloor.
We ordered a variety of sandwiches. My favorite was the "Wishful Thinking".... a wonderfully generous portion of fresh portabello and avacado layed with caramalized onions and served on thickly cut superfresh honey wheat bread. Oh. And it was pressed. (I'm literally salivating as I write this.)
This is enough for a five star review.... but there's more! Not only do they have comfortable seating and secluded booths... they also have free wi-fi, some of Flatstock's best rock posters and a selection of interesting reading material.
Sandwiches are not hard to make, but they're very hard to make well. These guys seem to have a true passion for making sure that every customer who walks in the door is completely satisfied.
I'm going to be back here over and over again, even if they don't have a sandwich named after my favorite Wilco song. (Yet.)
