After reading all the hype about this place on here, I knew i had to try it out. Luckily, I found myself in Etobicoke yesterday after some business related matters and decided to head over to Paul and Sandy's.
Just a mom&pop diner located at 4925 Dundas St. W but can get busy at times. Chatted with Paul about his BBQ techniques. Apparently, they smoke all their meats out back with hickory wood imported from the south and their meat is always slow cooked overnight, sometimes taking up to 18hrs.
Ordered their pulled pork sandwich for lunch, which turned out to be the smokiest thing I've ever had. It wasn't so much a flavour but rather an after-taste, but the flavour of the hickory smoke went really well with their home made BBQ sauce. The texture was also very stringy without being tough or dry (hard to explain).
Also got a small slab of ribs to try. Also had a very smokey flavour with fall-off-the-bone meat and a somewhat crunchy outer crust.
The only downside to this meal was the fact that their prices are pretty high, which I think could be justified by the care and attention they put into slow cooking their meat. Also, no free parking in front of their store. I will definitely be back for their beef briskets as Paul says its one of their signature items. I've tried grilled food at many places but I rarely eat southern BBQ. This might sound a little redundant but this is the best BBQ I've ever had.
