031 - BBQ 🔥
It could be argued that BBQ is the great equalizer, the most accessible of cuisines... but why waste words when your tastebuds can do the talking? Here's London BBQ at its best!
🗳️ A Taste of Democracy
The first (and largest) festival of it’s kind in Canada, London Ribfest gives Londoners five “low and slow” days to enjoy the work of ten renowned BBQ teams and to vote for a winner. It's easily the tastiest ballot you'll cast this year!
💯 A Taste of Generosity
Believing in “big portions, big smiles and big messes,” Schmokey's BBQ is one of those joints you gotta experience (with a bib) to fully appreciate. It’s only a matter of time before word about this "hole-in-the-wall" spreads, so we suggest a visit sooner than later.
🎓 A Taste of Culinary School
Fancy something a little less “messy?” Look no further than the fine dining al fresco experience of the Idlwyld Inn’s Summer BBQ Nights, where fountains, flowerbeds, and the smell of BBQ make each bite better than the one before.
🇰🇷 A Taste of K-Pop
Gangnam Style Korean BBQ isn’t just named after Psy’s 2012 clinic in K-pop; the tribute carries right through their menu, culminating in the delicious “Hey! Sexy Lady” Combo (for two). The atmosphere is just as fun, and the place is always hopping.
🏠 A Taste of Home
Looking to throw a BBQ but can’t fit the family/neighbourhood into your backyard? The City of London has BBQ-friendly sites available to rent for 50-150+ people at Gibbons, Springbank, and Greenway parks, so think big and get everyone out for a summer feast!
