At the end of the week, a winner will be crowned. Participating restaurants include Bareburger, Little Fin, Thoroughbred, The Burger’s Priest, Colette,Thompson Diner, La Societe, East Thirty-Six and more.

Fan Expo 
Geek out and get your cosplay ready! Fan Expo is back at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and this year promises to be one of the best.
