Ottawa Foodies

Great little shop. A local restaurant I used to work at sourced their sausages and double smoked bacon from here. Try their kebabs and cabbage rolls!

I keep driving by this place and haven't had a minute to go in. Finally I was down to one child this week and took the time to go in.
The second you open the door you're hit by the scent of dry smoked meat. If you weren't hungry before, you sure as heck are now.
The guy I was chatting with was youngish and very knowledgeable. They make most sausage in house and dry smoke it. The beef comes from Alberta and they try to age it 3 weeks though in the summer it tends to fly out the door too fast for that. They use a lot of local sourcing. They have regular delivery days for all their meats.
I bought two kinds of in house smoked sausage. The texture wasn't gristly, the flavour was perfect as was the smoking. I bought (preservative free) bacon and will be using it tomorrow. Apparently the kebabs are a fast seller.
I ordered double thick cut pork chops and will be picking them up today. Will let you know what I think of them.
They offer sandwiches to go with deli meat (they've never sold Maple Leaf products). These are giant sandwiches for $3. The buns are fresh and stuffed full. I more than got my money's worth on these.

This place isn't too far from where I work, so I find myself dropping in once in a while for a tasty sandwich. For around $4 (price depends on meat choice) you can get a nice cold cut sandwich. They also have a special "mixed meat" sandwich for $2.95 or so. It makes for a very reasonable and satisfying lunch choice!
