On Saturday, September 12, The Joneses is firing up the grills for a one-day rib showdown on its downtown Toronto patio. Five talented chefs from some of the city’s favourite restaurants will each serve a signature creation, from smoked pork back ribs with root beer glaze to Thai-style beef ribs and St. Louis-style ribs with roasted pineapple BBQ sauce.
Meet the pitmasters:
Guests can choose their favourite or sample all five with the Pitmaster Platter, featuring one creation from each chef. A shortened à la carte menu and Happy Hour food and drink features will also be available throughout the event. Located near Union Station, Scotiabank Arena and Meridian Hall, Ribfest is an ideal addition to a day out in downtown Toronto—just be sure to come hungry!
