Say Cheese

By Annabelle Goodman –

This place is so new that they have not officially opened. I don’t even have a phone listing. I have been enjoying my time researching cheese sandwiches in this city. Is this the new ‘It food’?  Establishments are opening up all over the city. What could be a better location than Huron St and Bloor? It is situated beside the Bata Museum and across the road from the Holiday Inn. I was walking by and noticed a sign in the window,

Chris is a co owner of this fun place. He recently worked at C5, the museum’s fancy restaurant. I like this one better and I wish him and his partner all the best.

I opted for a Nacho Libre.  It was so yummy. The cheese oozed out. All the flavors of the avocado guacamole, jalapeno and tomato salsa married together. The sandwich was grilled and warm. I feel like going back for another one right away. A regular sandwich is $6.50. Premier sandwiches are prepared with higher quality cheese and are $8.50.

The Garden Vegetable is prepared with brie or goat cheese with roasted red peppers and grilled zucchini.

A Nice Pair features brie, pear and ham.

You can also enjoy adding on items such as a fried egg, mushrooms, tomatoes or caramelized onions for $1.00 or less.

Sloppy Chili will please you with the chili base, vegetables and jalapeno.

It is all so creative and tempting.

The sandwich was served on a wooden cheese board. Frites or a Salad are part of this reasonable deal. The salad was fresh and adorned with tasty vinaigrette. It was served in a small olive wood bowl on the cheese board. Only a dill pickle on the side would have made it any better.

I already know that on my next visit (which will be soon) will be the Mushroom/ Cheese combination.

Baking products also looked so tempting. They are made by Chris’s partner. They hope in time to make their own bread. The baking is creative and so tasteful. I purchased two cupcakes. One was filled with a chocolate mousse and the other had a caramel filling. A fantastic display of creative baskets and containers for Valentine’s Day was on display. Everything was creatively packaged in Valentine boxes and containers. Cookies, Cakes, Cupcakes and Candies were available in a variety of presentations.

Chris is a creative young man. (and also very handsome) He has ideas for future plans. The place hasn’t even officially opened but there were several tables of diners. I crave Cheese Sandwiches. These will satisfy anyone’s taste buds. They are beautifully plated on the cheeseboard. Not only do they look tantalizing they are scrumptious.

What fun to make such a discovery in my back yard. I wish them all the best.
