| - Stop #3 at the Canadian National Exhibition is Hot Bunzz Street Cuisine.
From what I can tell, Hot Bunzz serves up nothing but buns but with creative twists that make for the most easily transportable street food around.
I grabbed myself one of their Sexxy Surf N' Turf buns. Now before we delve into my opinion, let me say that this is the only item that I've tried at Hot Bunzz. I can totally see how the rest of their menu has the potential to be pretty good, considering the plusses that this bun had, so chill out anyone who likes this place. Right now I am not one of these people. At the time, I summarized the bun as "offensive". When you're served the bun you'll see that it's covered in the appealing looking shrimp salad, featuring diced tomato, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds. After taking a bite I was swiftly thrown by the weirdly zesty shrimp salad, that inexplicably tasted like Sprite. I then got a bit of the brioche bun pastry itself, which was hands down the best part. Think of a restaurant quality Hot Pocket with fresh ingredients. Once I got passed the pastry, I was brought right back to not caring for the bun as I got a bit of the beef. It just didn't sit well with the shrimp salad.
Despite how pretty this guy looks, I was disappointed and a little repulsed, (and I ate fried insects earlier that day). Again, I can fully see how different toppings with the great bun pastry could make the rest of the restaurant items fantastic, so hold on before you fix your fingers to type in protest. I just didn't jive with this.
