Review from Vivek S.
6/2/2011
We were hungry and not feeling the options at George's (including a groteque spaghetti and barbecue chicken combo) nor Smoke's (I am fundamentally opposed to poutine). That's when I spotted a Gruff Accented Man (GAM) manning a household barbecue in front of a convenience store.
Most people wouldn't consider this point of the story a "fork in the road"; they would obviously pass on this ludicrous option and seek loftier fare. But I didn't. I was sweet-talked by the GAM's iron clad offers ("You try, and if you don't like, I give you all the money back.") and convinced by the promise of something immediate. He was also working on some chicken kebabs, but ensured us that they would take no less than 18 minutes to complete.
It was a weird scene. When the burgers finally emerged we were famished to the point of irrationality. With a fistful of the basic toppings provided in clear containers, it tasted like the best burger I've ever had.
Later however, I reversed this notion. For starters, it wasn't the best burger I ever had. It wasn't even in the top 137. It was pretty average. Also it was $5. That's a lot for a mediocre sandwich. Also, also: less than 1.3 km away we sauntered into an Ali Baba's because were not yet satisfifed.
Three solid strikes against an otherwise decent experience.
Obligatory Title Pun: NO PUN FOR YOU!
Menu Readability: The signage here is wack.
Need to mention: It's also a full-fledged convenience store.
What this place teaches me about myself: I would love to be a full-time GAM.Listed in: Uno Dos
