First off I should start by talking abooot the stereotypes we as Americans have towards Canadians eh. Not everyone in Canada has a Mullet, I know I was surprised. Not everyone in Canada is a hockey fan, some are curling fans! Lastly Canada does not have crappy food....well French Canada does, I don't get the poutine thing....sorry.
Turns out Ontario Canada has a ton of great food and a HUGE variety of ethnic restaurants, cafes, and pubs. I was recently in Burlington, ON for work and was working near a place called The Poacher. One of the guys I was working with suggested it for a late snack. I had their home made cream of tomato soup and some bread. It was delicious, I also had an Ice cold Stella artois which as always was great.
The next day I told the two guys I was working with I would treat to lunch so we ended up back at...you guessed it........ the Poacher. Again we were met with great service and I felt like I had been going there forever. I got a roast beef and Cheddar melt and it was delicious. I'm from the north shore and its hard to get ANYTHING roast beef and not be a snob about it. I think "beef three way" were my first words! Anyway this wrap had some of the best roast beef I have had in years and the sauce was delicious, like a tangy BBQ.
Lastly, if you are into single malt whisky than the Poacher will certainly not disappoint, they have a HUGE selection of top shelf single malts.
The Poacher is great and if you ever find yourself in Burlington Ontario you have to go there and get lunch and a beer. Dont worry Lake Ontario is right across the street, you can walk it off after! Cheers...
