Boston Pizza on Gateway Park appears to have closed.

Not quite the right thread, but the Record has a good piece on a new craft distillery in Ayr, Willibald Farm Distillery http://drinkwillibald.com/ . Just gin at the moment, but with plans for Canadian whisky made with rye grown on the farm. Nice!

Four All Ice Cream opening a tasting room this weekend, just off the Iron Horse Trail on Whitney Place: http://www.waterlooregioneats.com/a-new-kitchener-business-the-engineering-of-ice-cream-four-all

I must say that I like the idea of locally-made ice cream that uses locally produced ingredients.  And the fact that Legacy Greens will be the first outside shop to sell the product.  Good news all around!

It's only a short walk to Four All! Let's hope for some nice weather this weekend ...

I had never heard of Courtyard Kitchens very cool idea.

Sad news reported today that one of the founders of Block 3 Brewing has been killed in a car accident.

A Chuck's Roadhouse restaurant is listed as coming soon to the Toys-R-Us plaza on their website. This is another brand in the Crabby Joes, Union Burger, Coffee Culture Company.

Taste at the Tannery has opened. Space seems very similar, maybe a bit more open towards the back. Prices were on the low end, with some items quite good, but others definitely more budget-minded (pretty sure it was McCain Superfries on the side). Some local taps, which is nice.

This will be going into the former Jack Astor's space I presume? Hopefully this tenant can stick, it seems to be a revolving door of restaurants over the years. I can remember when it was originally opened as a Chi Chi's. Big Grin

Where is this? I don't know where Toys-R-Us is...

Also...

Chi-Chi's?

Ah Chi Chi's. I remember that place. No doubt my first exposure to Mexican food.

Was there not an Olive Garden in that neck of the woods as well?


RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - timio - 05-17-2017

Fairway and Wilson, kiddy corner from the mall.


RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - Elmira Guy - 05-17-2017

/\ Yeah right. Been a long time since it's been gone as well.

Thanks


RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - KevinL - 05-17-2017

Speaking of Fairway restaurants, I spotted that across the way from Nando's is a new place called Jersey Mike's Subs.

Sounds like they're well-established in (surprise) New Jersey, but are newcomers to Canada.
