To avoid the rush we went for dinner at EMB at opening time on a Sunday (5:00). Just on Saturday EMB has been noted in the Globe and Mail as one of Toronto's top 10 restaurants for 2013... so we expected the worst. We arrived to an empty restaurant BUT within 15 minutes half the restaurant was full (like 10 tables!)
We tried some of the popular dishes including the Brisket Sandwich, Pork Ribs, Beef Ribs, and Fried Chicken. Highlights of those 4 dishes were the brisket sandwich and fried chicken. Brisket was extremely tender and taste d amazing (Montreal smoked meat plus BBQ sauce plus cheese). Fried chicken was very moist and had a thin crispy layer. Pork ribs sauce was a bit too tangy. Beef ribs were Flintstone size but somehow still very tender!
Overall what impressed me the most about EMB was that all the meat was so moist. Definitely aiming to go back to try other items.
