Akemi and I embarked on a bit of a food tour today, accompanied by our foodie friend, Dr. Blackjack.
First stop was Matty’s Patty’s Burger Club (923a Queen Street West). I ordered two singles with two different sauces – the Matty’s Patty’s sauce (mustard, mayo, ketchup, diced onions and pickles) and the spicy ketchup sauce (ketchup, white onion, La Bomba, black pepper).
Crispy 3 oz smash burgers with American cheese served on sesame milk buns. Delicious.
From there, we took walk over to Nadege Patisserie (780 Queen Street West) where I stocked up on one of my favorite chocolates bars –
The Q (Quatre Noix – Four Nuts), a milk chocolate bar studded with pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds and pecans.
From there, it was a relative short walk to Sanko (730 Queen Street West), our local Japanese konbinya, where we picked up a few necessities…
Specifically, Royce nama chocolates in three flavors: matcha, chocolate covered matcha, and chocolate-covered praline.
From there, we headed down the Stackt Market on Bathurst and my new favorite ice cream shop, Pandoughra’s Box (28 Bathurst St Unit 3-122). They recognized me and already knew what I was getting…
Boozy ice cream flavors: Chocolate Bourbon and Whiskey Salted Caramel.
After dropping the pints off at home, it was a 40 minute trek up to Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken (656 College St)…
….for the Nashville Ice (spicy fried chicken and vanilla ice cream on a brioche bun)…
…which come with a complimentary pair of eating gloves. Yes, it does get a tad messy.
Dinner tonight was a bowl of sautéed snow pea leaves.
The Batman’s Greatest Villain Tournament (1960’s edition!) concluded. And the winner is…
