Ever wonder what would happen if a cookie and a brownie had a baby in the oven? Well, Tim Hortons has the answer: the Chocolate Chunk Brookie! It's just what you'd picture – a brownie chunk baked right into the middle of a cookie, giving it a little hill.

The garlic bread is made with their telera bread, topped with melted cheese and garlic seasoning. I think it would pair well with their chili, but unfortunately, they were sold out.
I have tried the other flatbread pizza flavours once:
It's Ash Wednesday. After the 7:00 pm Mass, my husband and I stopped by Sushivan for dinner. We both ordered our favorite Salmon Teriyaki & Sashimi Box, and to share, we got the Philadelphia Roll.

The standout ingredient in the Philadelphia Roll is the cream cheese. It pairs extremely well with the smoked salmon and cucumber. It's the perfect bite with the sushi rice.
