Starving Artist

Roughly two weeks ago my dad and I went to Starving Artist (584 Lansdowne Ave, just north of Bloor). Their claim to fame is making sandwiches using waffles instead of bread. My dad had the smoked salmon waffle sandwich, and I had the cheese and chive waffle plate with salsa, sour cream, and fruit salad. They mixed the cheese and chives into the actual waffle batter before it was cooked and it was much better than I was expecting (and I was expecting great things). It's a really fun menu, and a good alternative to pub food, nachos, or regular sandwiches. It's also a bar. It's inspired me to try adding savoury ingredients into my pancakes. I figure a sharp cheese and maybe rosemary would be good. The plates were roughly $10 or there abouts. They make excellent coffee as well, and have live soul and jazz nights often.
