16 h. ago Chefs teaming up to bring one of Toronto's most iconic lost restaurants back to life

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. If one person was in the mood for a Reuben sandwich and another wanted Szechuan chicken, everybody was happy.Frankly, it sounds about as close to a utopia as you could possibly get.While many of the restaurant's print and radio ads from its heyday, as you may ...

18 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...
