History
The restaurant opened in 2016, in a 1920s-built former Dominion Bank location[3] that previously hosted the Cherry Street Restaurant.[1] The owner and head pitmaster is Lawrence La Pianta, who spent years competing and judging on the Kansas City Barbeque Society circuit, the largest barbecue circuit in the world.[3][1][4]
All of the barbecue offerings at the restaurant are smoked using white oak[3] on the patio, located inside a redesigned shipping container.[4] The restaurant also often hosts Sunday pig roasts, featuring guest pitmasters from other barbecue joints in North America.[1]
Recognition
The business was named a Bib Gourmand restaurant by the Michelin Guide at Toronto's 2022 Michelin Guide ceremony,[5] and has retained this recognition each year following.[4] A Bib Gourmand recognition is awarded to restaurants who offer "exceptionally good food at moderate prices." Michelin highlighted the restaurant's various barbecue offerings, including its Texas-style brisket and St. Louis-style ribs.[4]
