Turkey Club on Toasted Baguette

Smoked turkey, bacon, tomato, greens, on baguette, with chipotle mayo on the side – with salad or homefries (.50).
Going for the second choice (first was the breakfast burrito), this hearty lunchtime sandwich was a grand mountain of delicious and fresh flavours. Nicely cooked (neither too crispy nor soggy) bacon was piled on top of fresh sliced tomatoes and smoky lean deli turkey. I liked how mixed baby greens were incorporated into the sandwich, providing some pepper bites, some soft crunch, and pretty vibrant greens. The baguette was slightly toasted, having a hearty crunchy crust, and a large spongy crumb. If it were a perfect world, the baguette might have had a smear of grainy mustard, and be made with sourdough, but that’s just me being picky. I was just as content with the kick provide by the chipotle mayo and that of the chili oil spiked rosemary roasted poatoes. Delish!
I don’t think I have to say much about the plating. You can see for yourself. Compared to many other Toronto breakfast joints (particularly those that are overpriced in downtown), I was floored by the simple elegance on the plates presented by Easy’s kitchen. Two thumbs up (that’s if you have free hands to give a thumbs up – mine were too busy holding on to my scrumptious food).
