I've been to different parts of Canada and many times as a kid. My parents, however, deprived me and my sister of Tim Hortons. Now as an adult I recognized that I must right this wrong! Therefore, I made it a point to go to Tim Hortons on my recent business trip to Toronto.
Tim Hortons was conveniently in the same RBC building where my work office was located, but the food court area on the 2nd floor was jam packed during the lunch hours. I was in between a 30 min break and had to choose my lunch wisely. Luckily Tim Hortons' line was not only the shortest but also the quickest. I was in and out of Tim Horton's in 7 min tops.
While I was waiting in line to deliberate on what to get, I knew instantly that I had to get the waffle, sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. It was love at first sight. I've been on a McDonald's McGriddle kick lately, so it was only fitting to get this breakfast sandwich from Tim Hortons. As I suspected this sandwich was good. In fact it was so good that I found it better than a McGriddle. The sausage, egg, and cheese were comparable to the ones on a McGriddle, but the waffle bun was the differentiating factor that put Tim Hortons' sandwich a step above. The waffle had sugar granules sprinkled on top and balanced the overall proportions of savory vs sweetness very well. I loved it and would highly recommend this sandwich to anyone. Furthermore, the good news is that Tim Hortons serves breakfast all day.
I enjoyed the potato wedges. Sure, there wasn't anything particularly unique about them. The seasoning and texture of the potato wedges made me a fan of them though!
Obviously Tim Hortons is known for its donuts. I knew I wasn't going to have an appetite for a few whole donuts, so I opted to get the Timbits instead. The Timbits were donut holes, and you could choose to get them as assorted or one flavor. I got the assorted in order to sample multiple flavors. The Timbits flavors for today included the chocolate, plain glazed, and raspberry filled powdered sugar. The chocolate timbit was by far the tastiest of all 3. read more
