The Heartbreak Chef

The Heartbreak Chef is home to some of Toronto's most decadent comfort food, from loaded sandwiches to juicy fried chicken.

Jerome Robinson's brand has seen several different iterations — from a catering company to a CNE fixture for ludicrous sandwiches — but this Dundas West takeout counter is the biggest.

Unless your mouth is a Hoover, this meal definitely won't be mess-free.

They're deliciously tangy, thanks to a combo of balsamic, lemon and honey.
