Smithy

The folks behind The Woolworth recently opened Smithy on Henderson Avenue, in what was once Henry Potter’s ironwork shop. Food, much of it designed as shared plates, tends to be heavy. Tots poutine are topped with a decadent blend of pot roast, cheese curds, candied bacon, and gravy. Luke’s Hot Chicken, crispy chicken strips tossed with a spicy piri piri sauce, comes with forgettable mashed potatoes and Nana’s corn, an addictive blend of sautéed corn kernels, fried bread chunks, and scrambled egg—the stuff on which to end a night of drinks.
