Grub To Go

Finally made the trek out to @chefrobertrose's @WawaGrub /Grub To Go in #Stratford!

It's been almost a decade since I was last in Stratford, Ontario. I was here once in grade 9 to watch a Shakespeare play, and even tho I attended university in Waterloo, only and hour away, I never took the time to come back.

Grub To Go/Wawa Grub is Canada's only full service restaurant using only Canadian products! So no chocolate, lemons, olives, and coconuts to name a few. Grub To Go is the day-to-day operation, quick lunches, grab and go items, you get the idea. The menu changes daily depending on what ingredients Rose has to work with.

Wawa grub is the back end of things where you'll find, starting in November, every Friday nigh they will host a tasting dinner. If Fridays don't work for you, Chef Rose will even close the restaurant on any other day for you and 5 friends for a private dinner without having interruptions from people walking in. Price ranges from $35 to $65 for a 6-9 course tasting. You tell Rose a theme, whether that be an ingredient or a region in Canada, and he takes care of the rest!

Anyways...I only popped in for a quick, late, lunch around 3 since I wanted to avoid as much of the GTA rush hour as I could heading home. I absolutely love this of place. I'd come back here more often if it weren't 2hrs from Toronto, but hey i go to Waterloo every other week, so I'll be sure to drop in again soon!

Pics: Roast beef with garlic mayo, Swiss cheese, and organic greens on a toasted baguette. Bacon and corn soup.

On a side note, I also took home a slice of spinach quiche, one of my favorite dishes and Rose definitely makes one of my favorites!
