I See Piggy

On a beautiful Friday evening, I headed to Dundas St. W around Ossington St. There were now, of course, so many choices in the area. I decided to try a BBQ place called Smoke Signals. It was early yet so I had my choice of seats. Glancing over the 1 page menu, I picked the brisket platter ($22). It came on a cafeteria tray my dinner of coleslaw, potato salad, pickles, and 0.5 lb of brisket. Despite the deliberately utilitarian plating, it was an excellent dinner with nice flavours. I liked the little touches such as potato chips in the salad for the crunch and dialing back the acidity from the cole slaw. I did not ask for any BBQ sauce but I did get a nice spicy hot sauce. The brisket was tender and fatty enough to stand on its own. However, if you pick the lean option, you may want to get some sauce. It was an enormous meal, but hopefully I can burn some of it off as I plan to go to an outdoor concert that promises some dance-able music.
