3 h. ago Norman Powell says Toronto Raptors should never have traded him

For longtime fans of the Toronto Raptors, there's often been a lot of second-guessing as to how exactly the team navigated the years following their 2019 NBA title win.And for Norman Powell, who was traded away to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2021 after being a pivotal bench piece of that playoff run, there’s been a lot of “what-if” thinking in the four years since he left the Raptors."The fans still talk about [that era], especially that year after we won the championship," Powell said to the Young Man And The Three podcast, released earlier this month.Powell said he'd received reassurance from his agent in the minutes leading up to the 2021 trade deadline that he’d be staying in Toronto, before he got the sudden shocking news that he'd been sent to Portland in exchange for Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood."I just got off the phone, they said I'm good," Powell recalled. "I didn’t know what to do, I didn't know what call to ...

4 h. ago New restaurant coming from people behind trendy Toronto pasta spot

There's soon to be a brand-new spot for heartwarming (and belly-filling) southern Italian fare in Toronto, and it's the love child between the folks behind some trendy local businesses.As someone whose daily protein regularly occupies the single-digits, easily dwarfed by that of carbohydrates, anything attatched to Jess Maiorano, who you may recognize better by her Dundas West restaurant, Pasta Forever, immediately piques my interest.Ever since Jess started her pasta-based business when work for many chefs dried up back in 2020, she's made a splash around the city with a variety of pop-ups, collaborations and a brick-and-mortar on Dundas West, and now she's gearing up to open a new place in one of the city's most stylish neighbourhoods this year.It's going to be called Zia's Place and, Jess tells me, "the inspiration behind it, is that feeling when you go to your zia's [...] for a Sunday lunch," referring to the Italian word for aunt, "maybe you eat too much food...

5 h. ago Here's how much you really need to earn per year to afford a home in Toronto right now

Even if houses in and around Toronto are no longer flying off the market like they used to — the case is quite the contrary, actually — the city's real estate continues to grow ever less affordable.Sales are in a protracted slump and new listings are surging, making hard to sense even a hint of the old urgency the region's market has hitherto been known for.But still, prices are proving surprisingly indifferent to what's actually happening on the ground, with simply the idea that there is perennial demand serving as enough to keep the city's property as eternally overvalued as ever.(To be fair, if you bought a slice of the GTA market for a whopping $1,334,544 two years ago — the average price for a home of any type at the time — how would you feel about having to let it go for much less?)A new report on housing affordability across Canada shows how things worsened for buyers in nearly every city in&n...

6 h. ago Beloved burger joint in Toronto grows from one to nine locations in under a decade

What began as a cozy, independent burger shop founded by childhood friends has become one of Toronto's most popular chains over the past nine years, and it shows few signs of slowing down.Ask any die-hard Toronto smash burger fanatic which is their favourite, and there's a fairly solid chance that, alongside competitors like Burger Drops and Matty's Patties, they'll say RUDY.Not for nothing, but many of us agree.So popular have RUDY's burgers become in the nine years since the inaugural location of the burger shop opened in Little Italy, in fact, that the burger business now more closely resembles an empire, with co-founder and owner Luke McCann on a war path to spread the gospel of Toronto's best smash burgers across the entire province.That's not to say that RUDY's success in Toronto was instantaneous, though. In fact, Luke tells me that the rise to the top, so to speak, has actually been a slow and steady one.The chain, founded by Luke and his long-time friend Chris Simpson,...
