Good Eats – Famous BBQ

I heart Famous BBQ.  How many times have I walked past the bright orange sign and never noticed it was there before?

Famous BBQ - 385 Queen Street W

My co-worker/friend found this place by googling “best bulgogi in Toronto.”  Google ain’t never lied!

I’m always eating off of people’s plates or suggesting sharing just to so I can get a taste of everything.  Most takeout combos you get one rice/pasta/noodles and one meat or vegetable.  I can never choose what I want since I usually want 3, 4, 5 items.  But not at Famous BBQ!  In their bulgogi combo you get SIX items.  Count ‘em. SIX.

bulgogi beef, rice, fries, garden salad, pasta salad, coleslaw

They have the same combo with spicy pork or chicken souvlaki but the bulgogi combo wins hands down.  The sauce mixes on top of the fries creating this delicious gravy.  And the FRIES! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside.  The coleslaw adds a nice little tang and the pasta salad is simple yet delicious.  The garden salad adds a nice complement to all the meat.  And you can’t go wrong with rice.  Forget about all that no-carbs bs.

I have a fairly healthy appetite (I eat more than the bf) but I have a hard time finishing this combo.  I almost finished it once. I usually eat half and save the rest for later but I always eat all the fries first.

How much for the delectable 6-item combo? $9.03 including tax.

They get pretty busy and the bulgogi takes a bit longer to make so it’s a good thing I eat lunch early (11:30) but they are well worth the wait.

Oooh wee, I think I’m hungry now.
