I've been to a lot of the popular places lately that specialize in fried chicken. My most recent…read moreventure was Church's Texas Chicken in Whitby. I remember there was a Church's at Brimley and Sheppard in Scarborough many years ago and then they disappeared, all of them. I'm kinda glad they came back. I was feeling kinda hungry so I ordered their 3pc combo, which included three pieces of their crispy fried chicken, fries, biscuit, and a drink. I opted for a mix of spicy and original recipe, and got two pieces of leg and a huge piece of breast meat. Not bad. As expected, the chicken was hot, fresh, crispy, and delicious!. These pieces had just come out of the fryer and were really good! The biscuit and fries were equally good but the fries were a lot less than anticipated. This particular location has an awkward layout, with the main entrance on the corner of the building, steps away from a busy major intersection. The service counter is angled towards the entrance, which is okay for pedestrian traffic. This layout, however, creates blind spots for most of the dining room and also the entrance to/from the parking lot. The service provided by the two young ladies at the counter was good - friendly and courteous. While I was dining, however, the conversation in the kitchen got rather loud. Very unprofessional and inappropriate. Takeout might have been a better option.

Food was tasty, I quite enjoyed my OG wings. They were freshly fried, very piping hot and tasty, and huge! It came with a slice of bread, dipping sauce, and some pickles. I got the combo which came with fries and a drink. They have a good selection of soft drinks, and a slushy machine. I got it mild and it was perfect amount of spice for me. They were very kind to make the chicken bites plain for my young daughter who cannot handle the heat yet. It did seem slightly overdone but it was a busy day. My husband got the Hot Honey Sandwich, and he said it was tasty. We got regular and Cajun waffle fries. The Cajun one was more flavourful, but we thought they were both a smidge too salty. Very happy a new chicken spot opened up here, will definitely be back to try their chicken pieces!

OG Sando was a nice crispy chicken with option for diff level of spices for the dry rub and creamy coleslaw. Just bare in mind the "Chica's sauce" is a ranch sauce. If you're looking for spice, make sure to go stronger on the dry rub. You can also choose to upgrade to brioche bun but I kept the toast and option to add $6 for a combo. One friend tried the Buffalo sandwich with combo and she enjoyed it. She did say she liked the waffle fries as they were crispy but smidge over seasoned. Inside the store there's a few bar stools and staff were very nice and friendly! Always willing to answer questions and offer recommendations. Parking wise there's few spots out front but lot of street parking as well. Overall, def check it out!

On Sunday, I headed to Whitby to meet up with friends at BarDown Gastropub. This eatery is located…read moreat Iroquois Park Complex, but runs independently from the sports complex. I like that you don't have to go through the sports complex to get to this restaurant. I parked in the parking lot in front of this eatery. There are steps to go up to get to the restaurant. It's also wheelchair-accessible with a ramp. Bar down is a hockey term. When a hockey player shoots the puck and it hits the bottom of the crossbar first, followed by going straight into the net, it's bar down. Some folks also call it bar south. We were a group of four. It was a thrill for me to get to check out the kitchen. Jody and Chris were kind to give us a tour and were delightful hosts. We also got to meet the chef, John Charles, who is the mastermind behind the dishes. We ordered way too much food. We wanted to sample lots of it. We did! Our order consisted of these items: - BarDown smash burger with fries - Truly Canadian Detroit-style pizza - Jerk chicken penne - Buttermilk chicken tenders - Cajun roasted red pepper and garlic parm wings, with fries - Ahi tuna poke - BarDown nachos - Street fish tacos I got multiple refills on Diet Pepsi. Each glass of it was crisp and delightful. This restaurant is on City of Whitby property. The city has a contract with Pepsi, so it's Pepsi products here. It was nice seeing customers watching the Blue Jays spring training. This eatery houses the largest screen in the city. Wow! The BarDown smash burger was excellent. It has two beef patties that were juicy with crispy edges. The bun was yummy and held everything together, including the pickles. It was excellent! The truly Canadian Detroit-style pizza has an odd name, but it is Canadian. It had mushrooms, which made me happy. It also had pepperoni, bacon, and peppers, with a side of ranch. I liked the crispy edges and yummy toppings. The herbed tomato sauce was awesome! If you like a spicy kick, get the jerk chicken penne. The penne was al dente. The jerk chicken was tender. The heat kicks in slowly after your first bite and builds. The flavours were perfect. So good! This place is known for its buttermilk chicken tenders. I was in heaven enjoying one. It was juicy and had the best crunch. I dipped it in the plum sauce. Yum! I also loved the coleslaw that accompanied the tenders. It was crunchy and delicious. The fries were excellent. We got generous portions. I loved them. The ridges were perfect to get more ketchup or whatever condiment you like. I love wings. This eatery makes fabulous wings. Each one was huge. Both the cajun roasted red pepper and garlic parm wings were meaty and yummy. I loved the veggies, which made me feel like I was eating something healthy-ish. My favourite item was the ahi tuna poke. Think nachos, but with wonton crisps. The tuna was crusted in white and black sesame. It had avocado, pico, pineapple salsa, pickled chili, ginger soy, sriracha aioli, and cilantro crema. Fabulous! It was incredible. I am still dreaming about it. You get a generous portion of BarDown nachos. The spicy beef chili was amazing with the melted cheese, pico, and nachos chips. The street tacos were so bright and scrumptious. We got beer-battered fish, with shredded lettuce, pineapple salsa, slaw, and cilantro lime crema. The fish was flaky and yummy. This place makes such a great pineapple salsa. I loved how light and bright these tacos were. It's a family-friendly establishment. I saw a group of young hockey boys with their parents eating at a long table after their game. The hockey arena has a concession stand that sells your usual hot dogs, chips, pop, pizza, and more. It runs independently from this eatery. I used the washroom a couple of times during the three hours that were were here. The women's washroom was exceptionally clean. No issues. This eatery is on Skip the Dishes. I had a wonderful experience having lunch with friends. The food is excellent. I'd return in a heartbeat. (74)

The baseball foodie roadshow was on a bit of a hiatus. After the pre-season, the schedule dictated…read morethat we play a slew of home games (meaning no excuse to hunt for food that is not close to home). With the team's participation in our first tournament, it gave us the chance to hunt down places to eat in the good town of Ajax. As the saying goes, the 'show must go on'. A Friday early evening game that will take us to about a 9:00pm finish would only allow us to grab a bite post-game. We needed something quick since we have to drive back home to the west side, so pizza would be a logical choice. We could have settled with your run of the mill chain pizza joints, but as usual I've opted to take a bit of a detour to support a local business. The moment we got into the car, we put in the order for a small Canadian pizza and by the time we got to the restaurant, the pizza was ready for us. We cracked open the box and my son and I started devouring the piping hot pizza with pepperoni, bacon, ham and mushrooms. I like the crust as it was somewhere in the middle in terms of thickness. There was a slight crunch to the surface and a good chewy texture in the middle. We were trying to eat fast, but we also tried to proceed with caution since we didn't want to burn the inside of our mouths off. It was pretty damn good pizza. Navona deserves your visit if you happen to be in the area.
