The family that put one of Toronto's best-known dishes on the map is about to leave the business they've owned since the 1970s behind.While Toronto gets a lot of buzz for a variety of different food items, from matcha slushies to mozzarella stick monstrosities, these days, there's historically been one that rises above the noise time and time again: the peameal bacon sandwich.A Toronto invention right down to its meaty centre, the no-frills lunch staple has been a calling card for the city for decades, appearing everywhere from Anthony Bourdain's The Layover to The New York Times, and earning the distinction of being the city's official dish.To date, there are plenty of spots in the city where you can pick one up, but perhaps none more legendary than St. Lawrence Market's Carousel Bakery.The bakery has been a cornerstone of the market since before the peameal bacon sandwich even really existed, but it wasn't until t...

35 h. ago That time Marilyn Monroe came to Ontario to film in Niagara Falls

For a brief period in June 1952, Niagara Falls wasn't just the setting for honeymoons and trips. For two weeks, the area became the backdrop for the noir thriller film appropriately titled Niagara, starring Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. Over two weeks, locals watched as film crews transformed the area's streets into movie sets, and Monroe, who was already gaining attention in Hollywood, became just as much of an attraction as the falls themselves. Filming officially began on June 2, and Monroe arrived shortly after, on the morning of Thursday, June 5. The actress stayed in town until June 18, and during that time, scenes were shot across the city, from the old post office and city hall, to the hospital and down in Chippawa. Marilyn Monroe during the filming of Niagara.
