Fat Friday - Hogtown Smoke


Who doesn't love a good helping of meat served with a small order of beans, coleslaw and fries on the side? If you're that person, then just skip this post, because this one is for Meat Lovers! 

After starting out as a successful food truck downtown, Hogtown Smoke recently opened up a shop not far from us on Queen Street near Woodbine. Like many other local spots, it's a cozy little space serving up great food and beer. A while back we tasted the meat delights that AFT Bar had to offer, so, to be fair, we had to check out what their competition was doing.

We knew to head out early as they don't take reservations, and, as mentioned, seating is limited. Friday and Saturday line-ups are out the door, and you are likely to wait over an hour for a table, but at 4:30, no problem! Equally important, they do have high chairs and are family friendly, so bring the kids. We grabbed a table at the front and ordered their sampling platter of ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, accompanied by a trio side of beans, slaw, and fries. With a variety of bbq sauces ranging in heat, we certainly did not lack for flavour. The food was served up quick and hot, and it did not disappoint. Mmmm, meat. This was only the beginning of their menu, so likely another trip will be warranted. They also do take-out, so you could call ahead to bring it on home with you.

While there is no official online site for Hogtown just yet, check out the review in Blog TO to get an idea of their menu.
