7 h. ago Popular Toronto sandwich shop that closed finally making comeback this week

A once-popular Toronto sandwich shop that's been closed for nearly a year is about to open a new, permanent location.The day is nearly here: Slammie Sammies is making its epic return to the Toronto food scene this weekend, as the sandwich shop gears up for the grand opening of its first-ever permanent location.Founded by Pedro Dos Santos and Marilyn Simms of Vert Casse-Croûte Catering in the spring of 2024, Slammie Sammies first made its mark on the city while operating out of the beloved, now-defunct (but replaced by the equally great Roxton Pub) Opera Bob's.Serving what Dos Santos and Simms describe as "sloppy, messy, two-hander sandwiches," Slammie Sammies gained its reputation for precisely that: whopping sandwiches that leave you scraping every last bit of filling off the wrapping once it's done.Grilled Chicken Tzatziki, Vietnamese Sweet Beef, and Shrimp Po Boy were all among the sandwich venture's best-sellers before it fell into a sudden h...

19 h. ago Toronto sports bar launches new challenge where you eat 6 lbs of ribs in under an hour

A Toronto sports bar just introduced a new eating challenge that'll have you slam six pounds of beef in under an hour.While the Toronto Blue Jays look to extend their two-game winning streak against the New York Yankees tonight, fans can engage in a little bit of healthy competition themselves at Real Sports Bar."Healthy," of course, is used facetiously here, because this challenge is more likely to have you running home to put on your stretchy pants than running the bases.Eating challenges are a kitschy — albeit hard to watch — offering at no small number of restaurants across the continent. Heck, there was an entire TV show devoted to them for over a decade.For Toronto's part, though, the options for folks intent on exploring the absolute limit of their stomach capacities are decidedly limited. That's where Real Sports comes in.Their recently revamped menu features, among the usual suspects of mozzarella sticks and chicken wings, the ominousl...

19 h. ago What does Vladimir Guerrero Jr. always write in dirt with his bat?

When Vladimir Guerrero Jr. steps up to the plate for the Toronto Blue Jays, there's hardly a more anticipated moment in Canadian sports.During Sunday's Game 2 of the ALDS, Guerrero delivered easily his biggest moment yet as a member of the team, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth inning that sent the Rogers Centre into a frenzy.While closing the game out ended up being a bit more of a chore than anticipated, Guerrero's moonshot gave Toronto a 9-0 lead and a real sense that maybe, just maybe, they'd actually be able to knock off their longtime rival, the New York Yankees.But before Guerrero stepped up to the plate for the at-bat, he took a moment for his traditional routine.What does the Blue Jays star Guerrero write in the ground with his bat?Guerrero is already eighth in all-time at-bats for the Blue Jays, and has made his way up all sorts of all-time team leaderboards since his MLB debut in 2019.Before his grand slam (and just about every ot...

The New York Yankees and their collective fan base may be having nightmares of Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.The Blue Jays have gotten off to as good a start in the ALDS as one could have hoped, as they hold a 2-0 series lead over the Yankees and have outscored them 23-8. Guerrero has played a huge role in that, smacking two long balls to go with a staggering .667 and six RBI.While Guerrero was outstanding in Game 1, it was his grand slam in Game 2 that really put a stamp on this series so far. The 26-year-old stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth inning and hit a moon shot for the first-ever grand slam in Blue Jays postseason history.VLADIMIR GUERRERO JR.
