Last week, we announced The Vanguard would be saying goodbye to 9 of its menu items. Even though some popular fare and other longer-tenured items—most notably the delicious likes of the Sartorelli, The Morita, and the Huntsman—have either been 86ed for good or removed from the menu until further notice, head chef Patrick “Paddy” Joyce enacted those difficult cuts in order to make room for eight new options on The Vanguard’s just-updated menu.
Starting at 3 p.m. today, The Vanguard will be offering four new styled sausages, two “tube-less” options, one new poutine varietal, and a side. Oh, and the Bay View sausage bar will also serve five new seasonal cocktails crafted by Rissa Ruggles. Feast your eyes on The Vanguard’s new and improved menu below.
