“You know I like my chicken fried…” (Zac Brown Band)
Hello Everyone,
Who loves their
chicken fried? I do, I do...LOL. Let me
tell you about this fantastic new foodie bar in the heart of Toronto. St. Andrew Poultry located in Kensington
Market has by far the BEST chicken I have tasted. YUM!!!
The redone butcher
shop that re-opened a few months ago has the best JOY chicken ever. Ok, I have never had joy chicken before that
night but I have eaten a lot of chicken before and Chef Bernadette Calpito won
not only my stomach but my heart as well. She is full of energy, friendly and
knows her way around a kitchen. Chef
Calpito who trained under Massimo Capra (see, I know, you were waiting for the
Italian mention, LOL) and Roger Mooking made us a feast of food at the media
event. We all ate two bite brisket
burgers, Chicken and Beef pot pie, the best French fries I ever have had, JOY
chicken, and yes, the Chef made us lasagna.
To quote Chef Calpito, “it’s just like nonna makes it.” There was so
much food, that I could not eat another bite.
So, I missed out on the chicken shawarma.
It looked incredible. I should
have taken it to go...LOL. I was so
full, I couldn’t think.
Jerry Jesin, who took
over this poultry shop from his parents, is a dentist by trade. The chicken dentist has created an incredible
environment in this poultry shop. With products
such as the Neal brothers (yes, Peter Neal I think I am now officially your
food stalker) and Vincenzo’s Pasta you will find something delicious to eat.
For 20$, Jesin
created the supper club for returning customers. You will get a lifetime membership with 20%
off between the hours of 5-6:30pm on stickered items. What should you try
first? JOY CHICKEN. Chef Calpito, I am dreaming
of your chicken girl!! I want
more!!!!!
I was so blessed that
St. Andrew Poultry gave each of us a fantastic goodie bag. Everything in that goodie bag tasted like raindrops
on roses. I have no idea what raindrops
on roses taste like, I just know, that the cookie bite trio, Cherry Tomato
Vinaigrette and BBQ sauce are now a few of my favorite things.
If you ask me to
use only one word to describe St. Andrew Poultry, I would have to say: “YUM”. If you are in the Kensington Market area,
make sure to stop in this incredible place and try some of Chef’s Calpito’s
creations.
Until next time boys
and girls, “remember, to always just be yourself, it will eventually one day
pay off…”
