6/24/15: I came here as part of a food tour, so I only had a chance to try one single item...
1. Peameal Bacon Sandwich: This was the first real food we ate here in Canada upon arriving. And OMG, the "bacon" is something else!!! It's sooooooo tender and juicy. I've never had anything like it before. After this sandwich, everywhere we went and saw "peameal bacon" on the menu we tried it--and EVERY SINGLE TIME we were so disappointed. Never found another version even close to as good! Heard Bourdain featured this on his show?--normally I don't care so much about what those shows pick, especially what that silly eyesore Guy Fieri likes, but this time one of them got it right! 9/10.
Every place we travel to we always try to eat local food. I asked many Canadians "what is Canadian food?" and was basically told there is none, unanimously. But I think this Peameal Bacon thing is as close to Canadian food as I ever found here. This is a must try if you're a foodie foreigner!
The score is based only on this one item. Dunno how the rest taste.
5/5
