100% East Coast goodness.
I actually stopped in my tracks on my way home last week when I saw the sign for this place.
Fuzz Box? Wha?
Nova Scotian donairs? Eh?
After seeing a review posted in Now (http://www.nowtoronto.com/daily/food/story.cfm?content=186324), I decided to pop-in for a pre-dinner snack. (I'm a filthy animal). I was immediately greeted by the owner, Neil, a native of Annapolis Valley, and had a pre-chow chat. He asked how I'd heard about the place, how surprised he was by the overall response and the increased response from the Now article. He seems like a genuinely nice guy who's pretty blown away by the traffic generated in five days. I think he said he's sold out of meat a few times already, so that's a good sign.
When it came time to order, I mentioned that I was no stranger to donairs, so I'd take one made to his spec to which he slyly grinned and said, "But you've never had a Nova Scotian donair."
Well-played, Neil.
Well-played.
Sure enough, it was a pretty damn tasty. It's pretty similar to a gyro, but with some spice kick to it and the sweet jizz. Seriously, the white sauce is known as jizz and it's sweet. Whaddyagonnado? At $6 for a medium, I had to order another ... and some Blueberry grunt. From what I understand, the latter is a basically a heated blueberry sauce with dumplings dropped into it as its cooked and, as it was explained to me, "it's called a grunt because when you eat it *eyes rolling back into his head* you say mmm ... mmm ... good"
And it was.
Looking forward to going back to support the local business and try some of the delicious-sounding fried pepperoni.
