Foodies

 

As is our normal weekend habit we hopped in the Terrain and searched for the next neat place to grab some tasty eats. This time we stopped about 20 miles to the south of Barrie in the little town of Cookstown just off the 400 going toward Toronto.

 

It didn't take more than a couple of minutes to settle on this place on the main street The Bulldog Beanery ... super curb appeal right from the start.

 

Coming to the front door you get the chalkboard with the specials of the day and then enter the place.

The front room through those doors look bright and cheery like an old time ice cream parlor but as you venture further back there are antiques and paintings in a more formal setting ... and quiet. Actually the place has a rich history and has stories written about its haunted past and present ... ooo.

We chatted with the owners as we had a couple of cups of tea and then settled on the treat for the day.

Jo-Anne had their grilled cheese made with brie and gruyere and fresh blueberries on homemade bread. And I had this massive looking thing. Its a club sandwich but in addition to the three meats and three cheeses it had tomatoes, avocados and spinach and was topped with a fried egg ... nuff said; we'll be back!
