| - After many visits for one reason or another, I can finally put my touch on one of my favourite restaurants in the GTA, and in my opinion one of the best in Newmarket!
It's located on the rapidly changing Newmarket Main St, in what was once an original bank. To enter HBH, you'll be blown away by the decor first of all, reclaimed wood industrial feel, meets vintage fixtures, meets micro craft beer and gastropub style eats.
My most recent visit, I wasn't anticipating to stop and eat, but then I started looking at the menu, I had a pint of Great Lakes Breweries Canuck Pale Ale, and before I knew it - screw it, I'm eating here!
I went with the well photographed and often enjoyed Bone Barrow appetizer to start. Kind of a gross thing when you think about it too hard --so don't... just eat it! A beef bone sawed in half, lightly seasoned and cooked in the oven. Served on a wood baord with some pickled onions, lemon and crustini bread. You basically scoop the marrow out, spread it on the bread and enjoy - and you will because this is every foodies dream and every vegan/vegetarians worst nightmare so be sure you're in the right company if you order this one up.
For my main I went with the Shrimp po-boy sandwich. On taste and presentation this was a winner. A sure fire winner, jerk seasoned jump prawns in a Italian style bun, topped with pineapple chunks served with a side of homemade potato chips. Incredible. My only grief was the size, even after the bone marrow app and eat the sandwich and all the chips I was still hungry. Lesson learned if you've got a huge hunger on this might not be the best option for you - go for the HBH burger instead - now that's a meal. That said, if you love a good po-boy and don't eat like the pig that I am than this sandwich will suit you just right.
Lastly... the beer - this place doesn't stock any beer that isn't from a micro brewery and they come from all over the world and they're always changing so be sure you're checking back in regularly because you never know what you're going to get
