Chompin' The Suburbs

Preaching the gospel of Toronto's suburban resto scene. The digs ain't always fancy. Or easy to find. But your tongue will literally thank you for foregoing the pretentious, the boring and the overpriced places that dominate downtown. With more and more of the city's ethnic communities settling in the 'burbs, it just makes sense.

Memphis BBQ (Ribs and wings)

Pork is a many-splendored thing at Memphis BBQ.

The most splendorous is the ribs. These juicy arcs of tender, slightly-carbonized pork are smoked for four hours. They're sold by the bone in threes or by the side, if you're especially hungry or have a pack of lupine friends to feed. A side of pig has a dozen ribs.

The pork also comes pulled. The salty meat mixed with sweet, tangy BBQ sauce is a plentiful delight.

This hole-in-the-wall's other specialty is wings. They come in two forms - fried with a choice of 14 sauces, or smoked like the ribs.

Those who can't chose can tackle the Elvis Platter. Those who can chose, should go for the ribs.

No liquor licence yet for this two-month old joint run by the former owners of The Purple Pig chain. These friendly boys have been honing their BBQ craft for over a decade, picking up tips and trophies at barbeque competitions across the land.

Dinner for two $30
