16 h. ago People in Ontario are obsessing over the burgers at this new food truck

Toronto residents tend to fall into the trap of fancying ourselves the centre of the culinary world in Ontario (and that's not entirely without reason), but one new food truck has people trekking outside of the city for their larger-than-life bites.Quickly after launching in May of 2024, customers began referring to Andrew and Tara Schroeder's food truck, Mason Jar Food Co. as a 'classy food truck' and, while they hadn't specifically set out to create that, they admit that it does perfectly describe the business.Located in Haliburton County, the food truck, which serves up elevated takes on food truck staples, is the culmination of years of experience in the hospitality industry, both together and individually, for husband-and-wife team Tara and Andrew, who tell me they had dreamt of creating their own culinary venture long before opening the truck."In our travels, we would often point out how well a food truck could do at the&n...

Just when Toronto residents thought we might be able to move past the scandals of our late, disgraced mayor, Rob Ford, Netflix has announced that they'll soon be dropping an entire documentary about it.The not-too-distant past of 2013 and 2014 proved quite the... unique years in Toronto.In case you weren't there (or you just blocked it from your memory entirely), Toronto became the subject of global attention and mockery when videos of then-mayor Rob Ford, brother of current Ontario Premier Doug Ford, smoking crack cocaine surfaced.To make matters worse, Ford later admitted to consuming the drug in "one of my drunken stupors," which, suffice it to say, caught on like wildfire. Just months later, another crack video surfaced, Ford checked himself into rehab, and Toronto spent the next several years doing some rehabilitation of its own reputation.After Ford passed away in 2016, talk about Crackgate generally subsided, save for a particularly on-the-nose plotline...
