pulled pork sandwich
Near the City Centre in North York in the middle of all the korean, japanese, and chain restaurants is Memphis Smoke House, a southern BBQ type restaurant specializing in food like ribs, pulled pork, BBQ chicken, and such. With not many of these types of restaurants in Toronto, it seemed it was worth giving a try. First impressions were that the service was a bit disorganized but the lunch menu showed some promise with most dishes starting at $5.99.
I got a pulled pork sandwich with fries ($5.99 + tax). Fries could also be substitued for salad or onion rings (!!! wish I knew that before I got my food). Everything looked good but tasted....disappointing. The pulled pork was pretty dry and bland tasting. This could have been remedied with some extra BBQ sauce in the sandwich not only for taste but also for the dryness. End result was just a dry pork sandwich with a hint of BBQ sauce....pretty bad. The fries were ok and a nice thick cut but at the end of the day they're still just fries and not enough to save the sandwich.
So unless someone is someone is really desperate for any form of southern BBQ food, I can't say I would otherwise recommend this place....though looking for southern BBQ in Toronto is kind of like being stranded on a desert island with a really fat chick. It's there if you're really looking for it but it sure isn't very good.

nicely done
As a professional critic, I feel the analogy of the fat chick was very unprofessional, regardless of its clarity in relaying your intended message.
