Toronto BBQ Week – June 6 to 12, 2016

By Stephanie Dickison Is there any better way to start the week than barbecue? Starting Monday June 6, you can dig into the first annual Toronto BBQ Week, presented by Samuel Adams. No need to fire up the grill at home as 15 Toronto restaurants will be offering a barbecue dish exclusive to their restaurant, paired with a pint of Samuel Adams Boston Lager, for $15. Dishes go well beyond your typical meat covered in barbecue sauce offerings. For instance, Beer Bistro is doing Hot Link Pork Sausage with Smoked Onion Dip & Duck Fat Fries; Campagnolo is featuring Lamb Spiducci with salt, pepper lemon & olive oil; Greenwood Smokehouse BBQ has created Smoked Pastrami Short Ribs With Roasted Cauliflower Purée, Mustard Jus, Pickled Radishes & Chive Oil; and The Harbord Room takes you to the seaside with their Lightly Smoked & Grilled Ocean Trout With Grilled Summer Vegetables, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes & Salsa Verde. Participating restaurants include:

• AAA Public House
