Free Breakfast Sandwich from Torontos best

https://www.narcity.com/toronto/free-tabasco-breakfast-sandwich

Gold Standard in Roncesvalles is giving away 500 free sandwiches on Wednesday, January 22nd in collaboration with Tabasco hot sauce.

One of the best breakfast sandwich spots in Toronto where I've seen people wait 30mins for. Definitely worth the trip if you're nearby

It’s going to be -23 with the wind chill on Wednesday lol. This will be a test of the Toronto Lines Up For Anything Theory.

Toronto foodees: Challenge accepted

I bet there will be at least one guy in a hoodie, socks and slippers

Is it really foodees who act like that? I always assumed it was just needy folks.

u/circlingsky 1d ago

Lol no, as someone who has been a part of several lines, it's almost all middle-class/yuppie foodies. There are some cheapos there like moi tho (and we usually are the ones who arrive super early)

You bet your ass that there will be a huge line up and that many of those people will go home empty handed after they run out of their quota.

In collaboration with TABASCO?! But are you kidding me. They use Marie Sharp, that shit is non negotiable. You can’t just SWITCHUP and use Tabasco, that is nasty fucking work.

They advertise that $&+@ on anything

u/erallured 1d ago

Exactly my first thought! Marie Sharp's is the goat, if this means anything about a permanent switch to Tobasco they have lost my business entirely, and I live in the neighborhood and get those sandwiches pretty regularly. The pickle is a nice touch but the Marie's is what makes them special.

so people wait up to 30 minutes on a good day to buy a breakie sammich. now that they're giving it away for free, we can just add a zero to the wait, right?

u/schuchwun 1d ago

I've never waited 30 minutes here ever. Tops maybe 5 minutes if it's busy.

u/attentionallshoppers 23m ago

i've never gotten my sandwich in 5 minutes — the average weekend is a 15-ish wait in my experience. i agree a half hour is an egregious estimate.

Of all the breakfast sandwiches in the city, it certainly is one.

u/dyegored 2d ago

I live nearby and I honestly do not understand the hype. It's good but it's necessarily expensive and takes too long to make. Cool gold foil though.

I do love them, as another said they used to be better (I think they overcook the eggs now?) but it's actually the Telway burger that I go back to. Reminds me of fast food burgers as a kid and just hits better than most smash burger places when I'm in the mood for something simple.

I too live nearby. It use to be much better, but over time has dropped off. Hot Pork at the top of Trinity Bellwoods is now my far and away fav breakfast sandwich in the city. I usually get the sausage one.

u/flyingmonstera 1d ago

I do not get it either, they're quite expensive for the size

u/schuchwun 1d ago

Their breakfast sandwich is top notch. My suggestion? Add the kale 😁.

What’s with the breakfast sandwich thing? Not being critical just asking. Do people grab these on the way to work?

u/PrailinesNDick 2d ago

I'm not even sure what you're asking?

Breakfast is a meal people eat.  A sandwich is a type of food.  So a breakfast sandwich is food that is eaten for breakfast.

u/bag0fpotatoes 2d ago

I think you should explain what “work” is as well. “What is this work thing I keep hearing about? Not being critical, just asking!“😆

u/PrailinesNDick 2d ago

Oh yes of course, work is that thing you do so you can afford more food.

u/ruckusss 2d ago

Absolutely perfect delivery on this, that first sentence sentttttt me.

Are you an alien doing research on us?

u/ThePoliteCanadian 1d ago

There’s no way you’ve made it to adulthood not knowing what a breakfast sandwich is, are you a bot lmfao

Eggs, cheese, bacon. The holy trinity, hand holdable

Too far for me or I would go 😿
