Toronto getting Fat
Fat City Blues (890 College, 647-345-8282, fatcityblues.com), a NOLA-inspired bar from Simon Ho (the Drake), Cameron Hutton and Steve Mckeon (Small Town Food Co.), has opened in the spot that formerly housed the Huntsman Tavern. Now that the jazz ‘n’ blues place is hawking po’ boys and cocktails, T.O. just got a little fatter in the best of ways.
