The Feed Vol. 01 – Cryptocurrency, dogs and beer, and more
There’s a lot going on in restaurants right now. So much so, it’s impossible to keep up (this coming from someone who does it 24/7).
In between the frenzy of openings and closings, a slew of unique news stories often go unnoticed. They may not make the headlines , but they’re fascinating nonetheless.
Check out this month’s roundup of resto news you likely didn’t read elsewhere:
Rotis on repeat
Iqbal Halal Foods (2 Thorncliffe Park Dr.) is selling the Rotimatic, the world’s first fully integrated solution that measures, mixes, kneads, flattens, cooks, and puffs up fresh rotis in just minutes. It’s gonna cost you though. Cha-ching.
Hops ‘n hounds
Does it get any better than dogs and beer? Nope. Which is why you need to get to Leslieville’s new dog-friendly craft brewery Black Lab Brewing (818 Eastern Ave.) ASAP.
Totally kosher
Catching a Leafs or Raptors game at Scotiabank Arena (40 Bay St.) and want to nosh? Visit the stadium’s new and only COR certified kosher food stall Bay St. Deli, brought you by the owner of EDO-ko (425 Spadina Rd.).
Master class
Did you know Toronto is tops when it comes to drinks experts? Michael Tremblay, sake sommelier of ki modern Japanese + bar (181 Bay St.) is a legit “Sake Samurai,” Jennifer Huether is Canada’s first female Master Sommelier, and Mirella Amato, the only Master Cicerone® (aka beer sommelier) in Toronto.
Gold 2.0
Prefer to pay for your meal with crypto? You’re in luck. A number of Toronto restaurants now accept digital currency as payment, including: Figures (Bitcoin), Kibo Sushi House (T.O.S.), and BTZ by Bunz is honoured at a number of breweries and coffee shops around town.
Stay tuned. More editions of the The Feed coming soon. In the meantime, explore the website.
