It may be nice in the winter, but it was uncomfortable with the temperature at +26oC outside. I would recommend getting take-out instead. I have to give credit to the staff for working in such heat. I ordered the "bacon butty", which comes with five rashers of British bacon between two slices of lightly toasted bread and a coating of brown sauce (not HP). I took my sandwich to a local park down the road to eat, and it was very tasty with the sauce not being too overpowering. This was the best bacon sandwich I have had since moving to Canada. I wish there was a similar place closer to home in Alberta, even though my waistline might disagree. For $9, it was very filling and I will definitely be back next time I'm in Toronto. However, I will remember to ask for it without butter on the bread next time.

The guys behind the counter shout the orders and the cooking staff scramble to fill them. The air is heavy with beads of bacon grease that the little sunlight filtering through the window turns into rainbow rice bits. Although you can dress it up with eggs and cheese and such, the basics are the basics. Soft white bun whose job is to hold the bacon, not compete with it, piled high with yummy cooked just right back bacon topped with beer-bar mustard. Paper wrapped. Find a park bench nearby. Sit and much silently. Worth every caloric bite. Go for a long walk. Work off those calories.
