The brisket sandwich was awesome. It was so juicy I needed to wash my hands between bites. I've never seen a brisket sandwich with cheese before, but the strong orange cheddar complimented the brisket in an unexpected way. The addition of tender grilled peppers added a nice textural difference and a fresh flavour that stopped such a dense sandwich from feeling too heavy. It was savory and rich, with a meaty heartiness that made my mouth water. It comes with green onions and cilantro, which I asked for on the side, but the addition of the texture and flavours only compliments an already great sandwich.
Now, I'm not normally a poutine guy, but Charred’s poutine is incredible. They specialize in fries, so poutine is a popular dish, and we ordered it, but also we added the peri peri chicken to the poutine (and they added LOTS). The succulent gravy went perfectly with the next-level spicy cheese curds. The cheese curds are house perfected, taking plain cheese ones and marinating them overnight in their special peri peri sauce. This singlehandedly might turn me around on poutine.
The chicken was, as expected, phenomenal. Tender, juicy, and, well, charred. The fries were super crunchy and perfectly cooked as well, great for dipping with any of their amazing sauces (the peri peri mayo is my favourite!) We also got a sample of their chicken wings, an exclusive preview of an item that isn't on the menu quite yet. They were awesome, especially with the hearty slathering of peri peri. Keep an eye out for them next time you’re here. They were well cooked, but at the same time extremely juicy and flavourful.
