| - Haven't been to Newmarket in about a lifetime and was here with a couple of girlfriends. One has been before and the other was a noob just like myself.
I wasn't too hungry but I could still eat something and their lunch menu caught my eye. Specifically their grilled cheese sandwich. I won't lie, the price was the most attractive thing about the lunch menu so I opted for their grilled cheese.
Caul Me Cheesy - Wasn't your average grilled cheese either; it was one that was actually stuff with some cheesy cauliflower. The bread was some kind of white bread which was nicely buttered - not too much, not too little. However, being someone who makes grilled cheese/Monte cristos often, I like to have the grill marks all throughout, and all the way to the edges. But, it wasn't a big a deal. The cauliflower was perfectly roasted and had the right amount of cheese. As you bite into it, you almost get that "meat like" texture, which was very nice. I think Jane Villanueva would be quite happy with it. 5/5.
Curry Chicken Soup - Had a small bowl on the side to go with my grilled cheese and it was actually a nice compliment. Soup was hearty and very flavourful. Even though I accidentally ate the fresh cilantro (eww!) in the first bite, it was still nice. Was even nicer when I picked out the evil weed. Wish it had a little bit more chicken but I guess the amount was acceptable considering it was a small bowl. 4/5 (-1 for the evil weed).
Hand-cut Fries - I shouldn't even be eating fries but I couldn't resist after seeing my friend's order. In my personal opinion, if a restaurant is going to serve fries, they should all be hand-cut fries. None of this, steak fries or what have you that tastes and looks like they just ripped open a bag from M&M Meat Shops or McCain. Anyway, fries were bomb.com and is a must-have. It's the perfect fries for Poutine. 5/5.
Steak Tacos - I had just a bite of my friend's Taco and because she doesn't have taste buds, it was boring as hell. Boring as in, no hot sauce or anything. Regardless, the tacos were good. Thankfully I notice the evil weed so I avoided that part. I'm sure that would've added more flavor but I just don't like cilantro. I'd rather put some hot sauce and/or guacamole and sour cream. Could've used a little more seasoning and maybe not cooked as much either as I found it a little bit dry. 3.5/5
