What’s more reminiscent of late summer nights at the carnival than a waffle ice cream sandwich? The Dirty Bird’s entire dessert menu is filled with them, including The Swalty made with salted caramel ice cream with caramel beef bacon. The waffle ice cream sandwiches are only available at the Kensington Market location.
Chicken and waffles have erupted in Toronto, but The Dirty Bird, which opened in the chic Kensington Market area in early 2015, has risen quickly to the top of the pile. The Dirty Club sandwich flips the waffles into sandwich bread, crams a juicy fried boneless leg and thigh in between, and adds in beef bacon, lettuce, tomato and maple aioli for good measure. At $15, it can feed two without difficulty.
