Introducing The Burger’s Priest’s new Zoolander-inspired secret burgers: Blue Steel and Magnum

By

The Burger’s Priest, with its holy nomenclature and elusive secret menu, seems more like something out of The Da Vinci Code than a booming fast food restaurant. Yet the the burger joint’s air of Christian mystery has inspired a cult following and garnered over 6,000 “likes” for the Priest’s Facebook page, which reveals an ever-growing roster of secret menu items. We stopped by the Yonge Street location to check out the newest secret burgers: Blue Steel and Magnum.

The Stop’s Night Market brings some seriously tasty food to Honest Ed’s alley

By

Last night, on hottest day of the year so far, 1,000 sweaty revelers gathered in Honest Ed’s alley for The Stop’s Night Market. With tickets costing $50, and proceeds benefitting The Stop’s anti-hunger initiative, the sold-out event drew a lighthearted crowd. Patrons wove their way through lines with little, if any, complaining to be heard (perhaps the heat had mellowed everyone out). We checked out the scene, which paired up 27 food vendors with just as many design teams.

Acclaimed mixologist Moses McIntee popped onto the Queen West scene earlier this year as the driving force behind Lucid Cocktail and Kitchen, which billed itself as a prime destination for molecularly-inspired libations.

The spot is now named simply Lucid.

When it comes to Senior’s Steak House & Restaurant, Mary Marlett tends to get philosophical. “Everything has a life span, and nothing lasts forever,” she says. Marlett is the daughter of Eddie and Cathy Marlett, the long-time owners of the Yonge and St. Clair institution, who recently decided to close down the beloved eatery after more than 50 years in business. Their final day of operation is June 23.

First Draught: local breweries commemorate the War of 1812 with some old-school beer

By

For British soldiers stationed in Canada in the 19th century, money to buy a daily ration of beer was a designated part of their wages. This would have been, more or less, sufficient to buy six pints a day. To satisfy demand, breweries popped up to serve each garrison. Now, to celebrate the bicentennial of the War of 1812, two of Ontario’s craft breweries have created special offerings to replicate the beer of that era.
