The Grand Electric team opens Electric Mud BBQ around the corner from their taco joint
The pair behind Grand Electric pulled a fast one last weekend, quietly opening Electric Mud BBQ on Saturday with barely a lick of advance press (owners Ian McGrenaghan and Colin Tooke had coyly refused to respond to rumours that they’d taken over the old Stampede Bison Grill space). While their first restaurant specializes in not-quite-authentic tacos, bourbon and blaring hip hop, the new one serves not-quite-authentic Southern barbecue and bourbon with a soundtrack of blaring rock ’n’ roll. As ever, the restaurant’s dining room is tiny, the demand is fevered and there are no reservations. Fun! [The Grid]

Just far enough away from Queen St. to circumvent the restaurant ban I guess. Suck it Gord Perks, you can’t kill fun!
