2. FOL EPI Score: 8

3. FANTASTICO Score: 7
Bun: white peasant Portofino
Contents: egg, guacamole (too spicy), cheese bland but melted well, bacon(crisp, tender, good, from Whole Beast). lettuce
Price: Up from $10.50 to $12!
Ambience: Bob Marley, good waiting area, particularly good service
Comments: Spicy guac was a turn off. Meghan experienced a sudden big crunch in hers. The bun wasn't the best choice. Otherwise quite good
4. RUTH & DEAN Score: 3
Bun: Biscuit made on premises.
Contents: Egg, avocado, tomato, cheese?, bacon and chimichurri
Price: ? Bacon $3 extra (up $1 from last summer)
Ambience: Lovely small bôite, deserted due to pandemic. The music was nice.
Comments: This wasn't a sandwich as it could not be picked up and put in mouth. The biscuit was nice looking and fresh but much too tall. The egg was greasy and hard. And the chimichurri was very garlicky and vinegary and dominated and ruined the flavour palette. Not a good one!
Yum! 🌭
