SUNDAY THE 15TH OF JANUARY: CLOSED

we’ll be having our belated staff holiday party.  so please don’t come down! we’ll feel terrible. monday we’re back in effect with regular hours and we promise not to be closed ever again until labour day.  apologies for any inconvenience/ unresolved snackishness this may cause.

!!!NEW YEAR’S EVE!!!

just a reminder folks: we’re closed tonight until 10pm, when we’re having a ticketed party – we might have some spots to sell at the door on account of cancellations ($50/head, passed platters of snacks and charlie burger champagne poured at midnight), so if you’re interested  - tweet us @416snackbar for the quickest response – or just show up and try your luck.

THANK YOU ALL AND BEST WISHES FOR TWENTYTWELVE!!

FEELING THE LOVE!

NEW SNACKS for december:

a few new things on the menu this week:

sushi side salad

this is sort of a play on the little bento box precursor everyone knows of: hearts of romaine, shredded kale tossed in miso dressing, crispy shallots, red radish, wasabi pea dust, and a little more dressing for good measure.  fresh and a little bit spicy, so a great compliment to some of our richer offerings.

KFC (korean fried chicken)

our play on a bloor and christie classic (bigup to ajuker fried chicken), just made a little easier to eat with your hands.  double fried, tossed in sweet korean bbq sauce (mainly chili paste, ginger, honey, garlic) and topped with sesame and green onions.

farinata tre-colore

this one requires a bit of explanation.  farinata di ceci is an italian chickpea flour pancake from an area called liguria.  what we’ve done here is make a little grilled cheese sandwich out of it employing romesco sauce (toasted almonds and roasted peppers), super soft local mozzarella di bufala, and basil pesto.  we love the name, but don’t be surprised to see this one titled ‘eyetalian grilled cheese’ in the near future – we’ve been finding the name is a little daunting to some.

MINI MAC. want one? they’re the sunday special.

homer-esque drool noise

we couldn’t keep the thing as a permanent menu item forever folks.  and while it seems to contradict conventional wisdom to take one of our most popular items off the permanent menu, we have our reasons:

1. our beloved and extremely hard-working cooks had learned to hate them.

2. absence makes the heart grow fonder.

3. we gotta keep the menu changing – so many snacks to develop/devour.

anyway, we offer it to you on sunday evenings as our special thing.

REUBEN.

house made smoked meat, fermented kraut and russian dressing; melty cheese on rye. you can't fuck with an original.

 

SNACK REDUX no.1 : JBP

our beef patty is back and better than ever.  and if you come in to get it tonight (ie, monday the 24th of october 2011)…

miss jamaica herself will bring it to you.   what could be better?

some call us ‘snack bar’ but we’re definitely:

GIVING THANKS

sunday night we give thanks by shutting down and eating turkey.
