Fat City Blues wants to bring N’awlins to College Street
The owners of Parkdale’s Small Town Food Co. and former Drake Hotel bartender Simon Ho are teaming up to bring a taste of Louisiana to Dufferin Grove. Fat City Blues—named for a New Orleans entertainment district popular in the ’70s and ’80s—is set to open later this month at College and Delaware where Huntsman Tavern used to be. Fat City Blues will primarily be a live blues and jazz bar, which means that the focus will be on what’s pouring: the drinks menu will feature classic NOLA cocktails (French 75s, sazeracs, hurricanes) as well as the bar’s own twists on them; cans of easy-drinking beer; and a signature brew the guys are working on with Duggan’s Brewery that’s yet to be named (but really, how could it not be “Fat City Brews”?). Of course, there will be po’ boys as well as baked oysters, and come warmer weather, the patio will host crab boils—“Good, simple food,” says chef Talis Baker-Voakes. “When you go to a restaurant in New Orleans, you feel like you’re going into someone’s house. It’s really welcoming,” says Ho. “We want to bring back that social aspect to eating and drinking.”

did it ever occur to you that maybe this is the case because there isn’t anything news-worthy happening in the east end?
isn’t anything news-worthy? you really believe that? or is it more likely that toronto life continues to not look for anything outside of their couple of little bubbles? either way, interesting how you take the usual confrontational and west-end elitist attitude “mojo”. silly name.
It’s not even an elitist thing. He’s just doing his shtick. He talks a lot but rarely says anything.
This location has a history of failed restos….. buyer beware!
there’s an area called Leslieville.
there’s also Danforth west of Coxwell.
stuff’s opened in the past few months that has not been covered. it also doesn’t have the turnover rate that the west end seems to have.
Lower turnover rate means less to report on… its simple math.
who gives a sh*t.. it’s one city you idiot..
