6 h. ago Buzzy Toronto sandwich spot finally reopening after closing for a year

A Toronto sandwich shop unlike any other in the city is finally about to open after being shut down for a year.While sandwich shops in Toronto are in no short supply, we're firm believers in the "the more, the merrier" approach, particularly when it comes to the ones that put a unique spin on one of the most widely available food formats around.It's for that exact reason that the sudden and quiet closure of Corktown staple FAMO Sandwiches in the spring of 2024 was particularly heartbreaking.Open in the neighbourhood for eight years, the sandwich shop made its name crafting juicy, dense sandwiches using alternative cuts of meat, which are, tragically, often discarded (or, if schoolyard urban legends are to be believed, turned into street meat).Beef tongue, oxtail, burgers and breaded fish tacos graced the menu of the celebrated sandwich shop, all crafted with the bits and pieces that often go overlooked despite being no less delicious, and FAMO s...

19 h. ago Toronto's restaurant in a gas station shuts down after 15 years

A longstanding barbecue restaurant in Toronto has closed after 15 years, and a new business is already set to move in.It's official: 2025 has seen Leslieville's food scene enter a state of complete flux. While beloved institutions like Ascari Enoteca, Greta Solomon's and Samaira's Kitchen — not to mention the century-old Reliable Fish & Chips in late 2024 — have gracefully bowed out of the neighbourhood, a flurry of new eateries have opened up shop.While Ascari and Samaira's usurpers have yet to make themselves known, the old Greta Solomon space is now home to Bar Mini, a chic snack and cocktail bar appealing to the neighbourhood's burgeoning young-and-hip population, and Reliable Fish & Chips has been replaced by a sister location of Dovercourt Village staple Masa Deli.All of this is to say that, as painful as the loss of longstanding local staples can be, with the businesses that have recently moved in, Leslieville just so happens to be ...
