Twelve cholesterol-filled creations at Junked Food Co.
The junk food mash-ups at this new Dundas West snack shop border on the perverse: doughnut grilled cheese sandwiches, waffle pizzas and Dorito pies are just a few of the stoner-approved dishes on the menu. The aptly named Junked Food Co. is angling to become the post-last-call nosh mecca of the neighbourhood, eliminating the need for Lakeview lineups and 7-Eleven taquitos. And, since everything’s made in-house (except for the Oreos, Doritos and Cheez Whiz), the guilt of wolfing down a two-pound deep-dish pizza at 3 a.m. is (slightly) lessened. Here are 12 of Junked Food Co.’s creations, ranked from relatively tame, to “How did I end up at the CNE?”
