I went to my first Toronto FC game of the season yesterday. Joel has been going on and on about the Chip Butty since he went to the season opener last weekend. So we didn’t eat all day to ‘save room’ for some BMO Field Football Food. By the time we got in line 15 minutes before the game started we were famished, Joel was 100% sold on the Chip Butty, mainly i think so we could get a shot of it to add to his previous post. I don’t quite get the attraction of french fries on white bread with butter, but when i saw someone walk by with THESE i had to have them:
It’s the “Mac and Cheese fritter with bacon”! Mac and Cheese is one of my all time favorite comfort foods. From Kraft Dinner to Joel’s “leftover party cheese platter special’ to the gourmet kind over at Prohibition, if i’m grumpy, or sick or hungover, or there’s a snowstorm, or I’ve had a bad day, or it’s raining….nothing cures it like Mac and Cheese. So it’s a perfect meal for a chilly sunny Saturday afternoon watching the TFC tie their game with Dallas FC. That and after this weekend I have sworn off sugar, cheese, and anything starchy or white in preparation for summer. Nothing like starting a food blog to give you an excuse to eat more cheese and drink more wine over the winter and tank top weather is almost here!! Most of my posts after this will be about salad, or I’ll stick with design related posts – lower in calories. But considering we have season tickets to the TFC this summer, i’ll have to save up my bad days for the ‘snack bar’.
