| - Sully's popped up quietly like a hip ninja on the quiet-but-slowly-blooming-if-ever Gerrard/Logan dead storefronts stretch that I walk by every single day back in my high school days. To some, it's a welcomed addition to the area. For others it's just a place for great gourmet sandwiches, run by a guy who also runs a downtown hotel restaurant and is apparently dead serious about quality "consciously crafted food" and sandwich-making as a skill.
The establishment itself is small, with a bar height table seating six and barely any more room for a lineup.** The decor seems at an inexplicable crossroads between bare bones basics (with a depressingly empty shelf on one wall) and cliche hipster reclaimed wood aesthetics from the hip down (trying to be inspired by shipbuilding with them rope details?).
I'm not as big about sandwiches as owner Michael 'Sully' may be, but you know what? They make some pretty decent sandwiches. They have a tiny and straightfoward menu, with sandwiches including a meatless Banh mi-style option on board. The $8 porchetta sandwich is a delicious conservative choice, packing a good mix of juicy pork, crunchiness and a kick of heat from the jalapeno aioli every second or third bite. The steak ($8) however, now that's a big mouthful of fun in a handful. It comes with fries... in the sandwich; it's a takeout meal slapped in between two buns! Oh yes, them buns they use: slightly crispy, very soft, holds everything in place without getting soggy quickly, and definitely the perfect bread for any sandwich you'll want to eat. Go to hell, Wonder bread!
There's one minor inconvenience though. They do have a habit of being closed inexplicably when they say they would be open--their hours of 11 to 1800h are not posted anywhere in the window but rather appears on their Twitter account (@sullyssandwich - they apparently too kool for a webz site or even hours on the window). I guess the most reliable indicator is to see if the lights are on and their sandwich board is out listing their off-menu daily specials. And they definitely don't open on Sundays.
Also, only soft drinks served. You want beer like a true hipsta (like they sometimes suggest on their Twitter feed)? You could go across the street to the Beer Store, score a can, sit at the curb and kick it real old school Leslieville/South Riverdale. Just sayin'.
**edit addendum May 2015: they installed two picnic tables out front, effectively more than doubling their on-site eat-in capacity. Yea.
{TTC: 506 streetcar to Logan Ave. No sandwich sign out for a sandwich shop, no open lah.}
