Located in St. Lawrence Market this place specializes in peameal bacon sandwiches. For $5.50 you get a kaiser roll piled high with delicious peameal bacon. When I got my sandwich and saw that there was nothing on it but peameal I was skeptical to say the least. They do have condiments you can add but I decided to have it alone to see how it would hold up. I must say that the simplicity of this sandwich was beautiful and both ingredients were executed nicely. The bacon is cooked on a flat top which gives it a nice little crust on the outside but keeps it pretty juicy and moist. The peameal has a nice bite to it but still tears away easily. One key aspect was that the bacon had the right amount of saltiness (I feared that the saltiness would be overwhelming). The kaiser roll complimented the bacon very well, it was very fresh, soft with just the right amount of flakiness on the outside.
I must say that this sandwich may have converted me to peameal bacon over regular bacon. It is much meatier and no where near as fatty as regular bacon. I truly enjoyed the sandwich plain but next time I may add some mustard which I feel would add a little zing to it.
