Two Toronto chefs are joining forces to bring one of the city's most legendary now-defunct restaurants back to life for one night only.Spend enough time with anyone who lived in Toronto during the '70s, '80s and '90s, and eventually the question "remember Ginsberg & Wong?" is bound to come up.For my part, being born in 1999 and all, I never got the chance to experience the legendary Jewish and Chinese proto-fusion restaurant that held court at Village by the Grange for years before quietly closing down in the '90s, but its legend has always loomed large.A perhaps unlikely combination of cuisines at the time, Ginsberg and Wong combined all the staples of a Jewish deli with Chinese classics.

Energizer, Duracell and Panasonic have been ordered to pay a total of nearly $3 million for missing recycling targets in Ontario.As reported by The Toronto Star, the province's Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) has slapped fines on the leading battery manufacturers.

They'll have two weeks to do so.Speaking to the outlet&...
