When they finally opened a Me Va Me Express on Queen Street West, I was pretty excited, having heard the rumours about their baguette sandwiches as big as a grown man’s forearm and the shawarma pitas the size of a five-year-old’s head. However, it seems that these belly-busting sammies are only served at their suburban stores. Upon discovering this, I was so distraught that I walked right out of the restaurant without buying anything. But eventually, with the aid of a five-dollars-off coupon, they were able to lure me back in. Well, with that and some lamb-burger sticks:
OK, so it might have fewer calories than a KFC Double Down, but there’s still a lotta food on this plate. You’ve got three seasoned lamb patties with a side of French fries, Greek salad and a couple large slabs of slightly warm pita bread. Put it this way: it’ll take more than a few Tiger beers to get me buzzed when the Stamps kick off against Hamilton in a couple hours, cuz I’ll be drinking on a full stomach. 😉
