Stop #2 at the Canadian National Exhibition was Philthy Philly's.
Outside of the food reviews that I write, my diet is strictly healthy, whole food, calorically tracked goodness. That's one of the reasons why I approached Philthy Philly's with somewhat of a mischievous delight.
I ordered the Philly Steaklair, which as the name suggests is part Philly cheesesteak, part éclair. Right now you may be thinking that this concoction is a crime against food, and I wouldn't blame you. That being said, I'm ashamed to admit how much I loved this thing! Don't get me wrong; this was far cry from a culinary masterpiece, but the combination of these individual titans of snacking and savoury taste came together to wow my heavily skeptical taste buds from bite number one. The assault of sweetness from the éclair and oodles of whipped cream met with the steak and bacon like it was no big deal. And did I say "oodles" of whipped cream? Damn right I did! Check your health at the door and sin a little bit, (a lot bit), with this sandwich.
This thing was too good. Eat it once in your life, then never again.
