Do or Don't

After many years in the Annex, Dooney's Café closed down. But then the owner came out of semi-retirement and re-opened this diner farther West in Bloorcourt near Bloor and Ossington. On Friday, I dropped by to grab a late lunch.

Looking over the small menu, I ordered a Dooney's club ($9) with an extra order of fries ($4). The sandwich came out looking fresh and tasty. It was OK with its combination of aioli, bacon, and chicken. The main issue was the chicken, which typical of a lot of joints, uses white chicken breast. Without any fat or skin or it, you can't do much to add much flavour. The fries were more wedge than straight-cut, reasonable enough, but lacking the great crispiness of excellent taters. This was typical pub grub.
