This event has my name written all over it and is being organized by the good people at Joylister.
Mark this date in your calendar: Thursday Aug 22nd, 2013, from 5 to 10 pm at the Beer Academy! Something tells me this event is going to be POPULAR and will sell out quickly. Make sure you sign up for Joylister now. Not joking this event is going to sell out. (you heard it here first). The night will include Poutine from Poutini’s, Lou Dawgs and Great Burger Kitchen.
True Story: I was the second customer at Poutini’s on their opening day. The guy in the photo was the first customer.
3. RAMEN RUNOFF
This is event is being held at the Harbourfront Centre (Aug 9 to 11). For $10 you get to sample a variety of ramen. Sounds good to me!! I love the stuff.
