21 h. ago Toronto brewery shares touching goodbye message ahead of closure

A local Toronto brewery that was a neighbourhood staple just announced that it'll soon be closing down for good.The first time I was brought to Riverside's Saulter Street Brewery, I was fairly certain that the friend who invited me was attempting to kidnap me.Located down an alley off Queen Street East, through a parking lot and down another alley, I don't think my concerns were entirely baseless, but upon entering the cozy space, bedecked with barrels and fermenters, boardgames and a surprisingly large number of patrons for a Tuesday afternoon, I knew it was something special.I'm not the only person who feels that way about Saulter Street Brewery. Over the past eight years, they've become a neighbourhood beacon, both for those in the know and the brave souls willing to follow a single sidewalk sandwich board pointing down the alley.All of their brews, which range from ales to howlers, are made in-house and are also stocked on the shelves at the LCBO, but, if you...

41 h. ago Toronto's Taste of Little Italy fest had barely any Italian food and people noticed

Taste of Little Italy is one of Toronto's most anticipated annual food festivals, but if you went expecting actual Italian food on the roster, you may have found yourself senza fortuna.Largely settled by droves of Italian newcomers in the early and mid-twentieth century, Little Italy has been a hub for Toronto's culinary and cultural scene — as well as the city's Italian community — for the better part of a century.Once almost exclusively populated with Italian bakeries, restaurants, and businesses, the neighbourhood's star has only continued to rise in recent decades as its business landscape, just like the city at large, grew increasingly diversified.Nowadays, a stroll along the stretch of College Street between Bathurst and Ossington will reveal nearly every type of cuisine under the sun, from Asian fusion brunch to Indian fine dining, so, it may not come as a surprise that Taste of Little Italy, the neighbourhood's annual weekend-long street festi...

44 h. ago Viral new Ontario pizzeria from renowned chef keeps selling out

A newly opened pizzeria in a small Ontario town is receiving the star treatment, as it regularly sells out well before closing time.Despite only opening its doors on June 6, Tony's Sourdough Pizzeria is already the toast of Elora.The new venture from chef Tony Bish, an alumn of The Next Iron Chef, past guest on Master Chef, and a past member of Michelin-starred kitchens around the world, the pizzeria may strike as a surprisingly high-brow addition for a small town in southern Ontario, but the numbers don't lie; Elora is loving it.Taking over a space at the historic Elora Mews, formerly home to an antique shop, the pizzeria boasts a refreshingly casual atmosphere. The walls and floor are adorned with pale tiles, while the open kitchen offers an intimate view of the pie masters at work, tending to the breathtaking wood-burning Pavosi oven that cooks each pizza in just 90 seconds.Nothing about it screams hoity-toity, making it accessible to the scores of weekend warriors and co...
