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?”

<strong>2. The Wack A Molé</strong><br />
<br />
It’s a bit of a stretch to call this a salad, but hey, it’ll stave off scurvy. The dish (or in this case, box) is piled high with chicken chili, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, black olives, tomatoes and Doritos ($7).
<strong>3. Chill-E Tots</strong><br />
<br />
Cheddar-filled Tater Tots topped with dark chocolate chicken chili. While not Atkins-friendly, this dish isn’t exactly bonkers ($8).<br />
<strong>4. The 416 Deep Dish</strong><br />
<br />
A buttery crust filled with a cup and a half of mozzarella is topped with tomato sauce and pepperoni. Add extra bacon, pepperoni, roast chicken and pulled pork to crank up the calorie count. Did we mention this is a personal-sized pie not intended for sharing? ($7).
<strong>5. Tots Poutine</strong><br />
<br />
How do you make a waist-expanding snack like poutine even more fattening? You swap out fries for cheddar-stuffed Tater Tots, that's how ($8).
<strong>6. Waffle Za</strong><br />
<br />
This waffle pizza, with pepperoni baked right into the Belgian base, checks both breakfast and supper boxes ($8).
<strong>7. Pulled Pork Smash</strong><br />
<br />
The Midwest is all about the Frito pie, but at <strong>Junked Food Co.</strong> they make them with Doritos and call them Smash Bags. Into a bag of chips go tomatoes, diced onions, lettuce, sour cream, cheddar, jalapeños, pulled pork, coleslaw and Jolly Rancher BBQ sauce. Crunch up the bag, give it a shake and dig in ($8).<br />
<strong>9. White Chocolate Wack Mac</strong><br />
<br />
White chocolate mac and cheese, studded with hunks of smoked brie and mozzarella. We’re not sure how we feel about this combo right now. Ask us again at 3 a.m. ($8).
<strong>10. The Big Blue</strong><br />
<br />
Of the four grilled cheese doughnuts on offer, this one is the most refined: a honey-glazed doughnut filled with two kinds of cheese (goat and cream) is topped with blueberries and pecans, then drizzled with a blueberry balsamic reduction ($7).
<strong>11. The Pulled Junk</strong><br />
<br />
A waffle topped with Dr. Pepper pulled pork, coleslaw, Jolly Rancher BBQ sauce and pickle slices ($8).
<strong>12. The Trailer Park Boy</strong><br />
<br />
This (should be) Lipitor-sponsored doughnut sandwich tops a puck of Cheez Whiz with bacon, Doritos and bourbon-spiked ketchup ($7).
