The reason I wanted to go to St Law market was because I had a want to have a back bacon on a bun. While they have a variety of other things on their menu including all kinds of bread because the place is a bakery... all I seemed to want to have and care about was that bacon sandwich.
I mean they promote the thing and toot that horn too so it's not like they don't mind living off the fact that it's their featured item that they sell.
How famous these sandwiches are and how well known they are is really how well you care to know about them. What I'm saying is that if you were to ask me what food is "Toronto" I guess I would say this place. Really we don't have a "Toronto" food to put into perspective when compared to other cities and such. We don't have smoke meat, bagels or pizza "Toronto" style like Montreal does so if this qualifies us for having a famous Toronto food then so be it.
The sandwich is good and it's simple. Nothing on it except bacon, peameal bacon to be exact. The bread is light and fresh as you'd expect from a bakery and the bacon is piled decently high. At one point I counted 6 layers when I was half way through the sandwich.
So they are generous with the sandwich as well... back in the day when these were less expensive (everything always is) it's nice to see the product itself doesn't get skimped on but rather the price just increase as you'd expect to happen to everything these days.
Still, at 6.45 it's a good deal for the type of sandwich you're getting. The staff here are funny as well as friendly and fast.
