| - Another doesn't-take-reservations, bourbon-soaked, cash-only haunt in Parkdale has popped up. Naturally, I'm in love, but the above qualities (aside from the bourbon cocktails) will keep them from tipping to a five star rating. But please, don't let my impatience with lines and inability to carry cash affect you getting your buns to Electric Mud and trying all of their deliciously drrrty* flavours.
Seating is old school picnic tables, menus are over the cooking area on old-school boards, and you can see the staff working quickly from every seat in the house. Everything is hella cute and red tinged due to old fluorescent signs in the window. Also, they have a massive patio which will definitely be rockin' in the summer.
We sampled the entire menu, like, I'm seriously pretty sure we had at least 90% of it, and these were my faves: fried chicken, sheila salad (radishes and cream, yum!), crack buns (dinner roles served with butter whipped with meat drippings), and slaw. This fried chicken is now my favourite in the city, which is saying a lot, I heart me some Fry Fry Chicki Chick. I washed all of this down with a Clydesdale, which is bourbon and grapefruit and will now be Pepper's Drink for Summer 2013.
