After a long day of chowing down at the Hot and Spicy food festival, followed by a relaxing boat ride around the islands - guess who's hungry again? This guy! Just a little snack before riding our bikes home. I'm always a little weary of ordering food from any takeout place towards the end of the day when the food tends to have been sitting around for a while. Memories of food poisoning and projectile v****** almost make me walk on by this little food stand; but my belly is telling me to go for it.
The
Review:
It's go time. Good things usually come in small packages. This little food stand had a pretty hefty menu. Burgers, wraps, sandwiches, salads, sides and tacos. I'll take everything. Maybe just a sandwich this time. One of their specials for the day was the Meatball Sandwich ($7). Homemade tomato sauce, aged cheddar, fresh basil and pickled relish. The meatballs were soft but were barely warm on the inside - end of day, beggars can't be choosers right? The red sauce was nice and light; and the pickled relish (that I thought were carrots) added nice tang to each bite. 6-7 decent sized meatballs packed into your standard hamburger type bun. After making several attempts to cram them all into the bun so I could double fist it and take a huge bite - I gave up and opted to use a fork and knife. At least one or two of those little fellas kept falling out. Get back in there! Overall the flavor and texture was on point; the only thing throwing things off was that the meat wasn't hot and the bun was cold.
The
Verdict:
Nice little food stand. Good selection on the menu with daily specials would be worth a trip back the next time I'm at the harbourfront. 6.5 out of 10.
