27 h. ago Toronto Mexican restaurant chain quietly shuts down original location

A Toronto-based Mexican restaurant chain has quietly shuttered one of its busy downtown locations without notice.It's been well over a decade since La Carnita first began whipping Toronto Mexican food fanatics into a tizzy with their elevated(-ish) takes on street food staples like elotes, tacos and churros — and, boy, did the fervor ever stick around.Undoubtedly aided in the mid-2010s by co-founder Andrew Richmond's then-viral (or whatever the 2015 version of viral was) ice cream chain, Sweet Jesus, whose locations all either shared a space with or neighbored La Carnita locations, the Mexican joint was unstoppable for years.Sweet Jesus has since closed down all of its downtown Toronto locations (though a few are still open in the GTA and elsewhere in Ontario), but La Carnita, for its part, has held strong.Unfortunately for lovers of tacos, tequila, and all those other treats you've come to expect from the chain, their ranks have fallen by one, as La Carnita's original locatio...

27 h. ago One of Toronto's most popular burger joints is giving away 100 free hamburgers

What in the world could possibly be better than a hamburger? A free hamburger from one of Toronto's most popular burger joints, of course!I'm sure I'm not only speaking for myself when I say that, once the weather starts warming up and the sun shows its face a little more often, hamburgers are, more or less, the only thing I can think about.The craving is so easily triggered that sometimes, all it takes is the whiff of a distant barbeque firing up to render me near-rabid, with the only hope of a cure resting in the hands of an apron-wearing, spatula-wielding griddle cook.The good folks behind Rosie's Burgers (a frequent recipient of my frenetic burger orders) aren't doing much to squash that insatiable need for beef, buns and banana pudding this spring, either, as they gear up to open up a brand-new location at Avenue and Lawrence.To make matters even better — or worse, in the case of my cholesterol — they're celebrating opening day by giving away 100 free burgers t...
