With its soon-to-be-open third location on Queen West, you’d think that The Burger’s Priest would take some time to enjoy its meteoric success. But yesterday evening, The Burger’s Priest announced on Twitter that it will be opening yet another location, this time in Etobicoke.
Since 1991, Inside Out, a not-for-profit charity that promotes LGBT culture and community through film and video, has held an annual springtime festival in Toronto, and this year some very impressive names are attached to the ever-growing event.
When Patrick Kriss took over Acadia’s kitchen from Matt Blondin around a year ago, he had some big shoes to fill.

Yes, there’s lots of orange beer, but there’s also apricot, blueberry, lemon and now, with the latest release from Kensington Brewing Company, watermelon.
As an actor and playwright, Ins Choi has performed in front of hundreds of people. He certainly isn’t camera shy or afraid of putting himself out there. But stage fright wouldn’t elude him the first time he met his then future wife, Mari. It took two chance meetings before he worked up the courage to talk to her.
After moving to Toronto from his native Delhi, Sumit Kohli noted Hogtown’s dearth of Indian street food options. “Toronto has so many sit-down Indian restaurants,” he says, “but it’s missing some of the staple foods that people eat daily back in India.”
One way to get a lot of publicity for Toronto is to have the mayor in a video that seems to show he is smoking crack cocaine.
