Lured by an all-day menu peppered with sticky, smoky, barbecued bites, they'll descend on the corner of King and Spadina for something new from an iconic local spot. Opening this summer, The Carbon Snack Bar is set to revitalize the heritage space at 460 King Street West, last occupied by Quantum Coffee."I fall in love with locations and then I reverse engineer what should go there," explains owner Yannick Bigourdan. "I fell in love with the corner right away, but then I also had in the back of my mind that somewhere in my life I would open a Carbon Snack Bar or two."Still, envisioned as "a baby brother or baby sister to The Carbon Bar," which first opened in 2013 and is still garnering rave reviews, the new spot, he affirms, will have its own unique personality. "We want to offer a very fun grab-and-go experience around that v...
