Earlier this week we spent some time in Toronto visiting a family member in the hospital. We had to leave him for a couple hours so he could get some rest so we took the girls to go get lunch, but we just couldn't decide what to have or where to go so we did a mini food crawl. This was a "pull up, run in get something, share what you got with everyone and eat in the car food crawl" because parking and getting everyone out at each stop was a bit much. Our first stop was my choice, Wahlbugers. I watch the reality show so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and funny enough I had a feeling I would be disappointed going into it. I ordered the "eh" burger, it's a burger with peameal bacon and a fried egg on it. Nice idea however when the egg yoke breaks it makes it almost impossible to eat and super messy. And in my opinion it was overpriced. $12 for a burger by itself, they aren't huge and frankly I could have made that at home. Your paying for the name and the show in my opinion.
Our next stop was a Deli owned by a Jewish family, I can't remember the name and I'm not the person who takes pictures of all their food either. It was a Deli we saw on Dragon's Den that has a store front and a food truck. We had what they called, Jewish comfort food. It was ground meat, potatoes, onions in a pastry and a gravy to dip it in. It was really good, and a couple apply pastries for dessert.
Then we hit little Italy and I was in search of a Cannoli. The best one I have ever had was in New Jersey at the Cake Boss bakery. Nothing has come close since then until this trip. I found a little corner bakery and everyone inside was speaking Italian so I knew this was legit. The cannoli was fantastic, I was a happy girl.
Our last stop was another deli for some turkey dogs for the girls and an amazing roast beef sandwich, messy but so good.
I can't wait to do it again but next time I want to do food trucks, is there a food truck row or an area of Toronto that has several to pick from??
