| - Admittedly, before last week, I had never eaten anything from any location of this famed Toronto Delicatessen. I have my spots for authentic deli cuisine and was all set. After being disappointed with my smoked meat sandwich at their departure location in Terminal 1 when my flight was cancelled I was a little hesitant when our dinner options were limited to Tim Hortons and the full 'sit-down' Caplansky's in T3 of Pearson.
I've always said that I'm about second chances and for the most part that's true (save for a few abominations that shall remain nameless), but I gotta tell you, in this instance I'm glad I was forced to give CD's another whirl.
Having some time to kill before our flight we decided to get some food and drink and I agonized about what to have knowing I didn't want another smoked meat sandwich. I noticed a small "YGEH" next to a few menu items and asked what the 'buzz wuz' on these. Our server informed me that those items were the ones featured on "You Gotta Eat Here". Well then - that's a different story!
After looking over my options I handily went with the homemade meat loaf option paired with mash and veggies. Good old fashioned comfort food that sticks to your ribs and makes you sleepy for a flight.
The veggies were nothing special, just a steamed assortment it seemed, similar to what my fiancee received in her veggie sandwich - not exactly original. The mashed taters were light and nicely whipped but spuds all the same. The meatloaf was the real winner here IMO. Soft and moist, not even a little bit dry, meaty (obviously), well seasoned, and a MASSIVE portion, I was stuffed by the end, and nicely topped with a sweet tomato sauce - definitely NOT ketchup!
Definitely a much better experience vs the take away option in T1 of the airport. I'd definitely eat here again!
Eatcrest Out!
