A new smoked meat joint? In Scarborough??
It sounds crazy but Sumilicious is worth the trip.
We arrived around lunchtime on a weekday and the place was quite busy. I decided to keep it simple by ordering a smoked meat sandwich with a side of coleslaw.
The 'wich was ready to eat just a few minutes later and my god, it's an enormous concoction. It comes wrapped in paper - greasy, greasy paper - and when you unfurl it, the whole thing kind of just falls apart. It's a veritable (and intimidating) mountain of meat.
But how's it taste, you're wondering. It's good. It's very good, in fact. The meat is super tender and moist, as they've smartly mixed the lean pieces in with the really fatty pieces. It was actually a perfect blend.
I wouldn't say it was the most flavorful smoked meat I've ever eaten - the spices were subtle to the point of non-existence - but combined with the tasty deli mustard and fresh rye bread, the sandwich is pretty damn great.
(The coleslaw is a cut above, as well. It's not the creamy style but rather the vinegar-based type, and I loved it.)
