Toronto’s strong answer to Jewish inspired smoked meats, Caplansky’s, is re-opening at a new location on College Street sometime this week. Needless to say I’ve heard enough buzzbuzz about this place to turn up very soon to take the smoked meat / pastrami test against Montreal institution Schwartz’s. Not to say they should probably be compared, but an obvious blog post will undoubtedly ensue. Evidently Gourmet magazine editor Ruth Reichl recently passed through and had the best knish she’s ever had. Hmm. Click for a good review here with delish pics.
