CP24’s Bill Coulter visits Dirty Food Eatery to sample some delicious brunch flavours that are worth waiting in line for. <\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note: CP24\u2019s Bill Coulter has been visiting some of Toronto\u2019s most notable restaurants as part of our recurring \u2018On the Menu\u2019 series. Stay tuned for more features on CP24.com<\/a> and CTVNewsToronto.ca<\/a> taking a look inside some of these hidden gems.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a spot that takes brunch seriously, Dirty Food Eatery is for you. Five days a week between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. the popular Junction spot takes pride in serving inspired brunch with a twist.<\/p>\n

The joint is known for inventive takes on brunch staples like Eggs Jenny, a play on eggs benedict served on a biscuit, which are baked fresh daily, or Apple Jonnycakes, cornmeal-buttermilk pancakes filled with cinnamon apples. <\/p>\n

Co-owner Leslie Wilks told CP24 that Dirty Food Eatery has been serving up their unique take on brunch items since 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been here almost 10 years now,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s just sort of like a casual brunch spot with a focus on comfort food.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other unique items include the jalapeno popper grilled cheese, a take on the popular bar snack, and their baked and fried home fries. <\/p>\n

Wilks, whose co-owner is her partner Jon, said family plays a big part in the restaurant\u2019s inspiration. The Eggs Jenny, for instance, is named after her sister.<\/p>\n

Since brunch is their focus, Dirty Food Eatery has perfected the art that mean, serving it up five days a week. However, they\u2019ve recently started introducing Friday Night Dinners, a special series with a set, coursed menu and price. Reservations are required for dinner but aren\u2019t accepted for brunch. <\/p>\n
