2 w. 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.

3 w. ago $4 million Ontario home is one of the most iconic properties in the neighbourhood

last month How two university students created a trendy Ontario cafe inside a retro trailer

A pair of university students is turning the coffee culture of one Ontario town on its head with their stylish coffee shop, which just so happens to operate out of a converted 1962 Airstream trailer.With a combined 13 years of barista experience and now an entire business of their own between them, you'd think that Antonia and Megan, co-founders of Sauble Beach's CB Coffee Club were in their mid to late twenties at least — but, as it happens, the duo have been running their coffee business while attending university for the past two years.At ages 19 and 23, respectively, Antonia, a Chemical Engineering Student, and Megan, who is pursuing a Master's degree, all while managing a burgeoning coffee shop business, might quite simply be wired for hard work. At least it's all paying off.The whole thing started when the duo, after spending years working in coffee shops, found themselves itching for something more rewarding in the summer of 2024."The coff...
