Toronto, Ont. - May 30, 2018 – Summerhill Market, the family-owned, award-winning, innovative gourmet grocery store nestled in a serene Rosedale neighbourhood since 1954, has long been a foodie destination. In recent years, with their emphasis on local produce, health products - including gluten-free, vegan, paleo, and grain-free items - renowned prepared foods from Kettle Chips to Coq Au Vin, and exclusive items from the U.S., the independent grocer, led by visionary owner Brad McMullen, has become THE place to shop for food in the city.

And it’s about to get even better. Starting Friday, June 1, 2018, the store welcomes Toronto’s top chefs and restaurants for a yearlong pop-up series.

Conceived and curated by industry expert Stephanie Dickison - restaurant & food writer and Editor in Chief of Toronto Restaurants- the stellar lineup includes:

·      FLOCK Rotisserie + Greens - Chef Cory Vitiello

·      Smoke Signals Bar-B-Q - Pitmaster and Co-owner Nicholas Chen-Yin

·      Patois - Chef Craig Wong

·      The Anne Boleyn - Chef Brent Pierssens

·      Ruby Watchco - Chef Lynn Crawford & Chef Lora Kirk

·      Contra Café - Chef Zoe Atkinson

The series features a captivating dish from each restaurant, exclusively for purchase at both Summerhill Market locations.*

As with each item in the series, they will be available exclusively at Summerhill Market for a limited time - from the first to the end of the month - and the only store to carry the coveted dish outside of the restaurant.

The exciting program launches Friday, June 1st with Celebrity Chef Cory Vitiello’s renowned FLOCK salads. A favourite amongst health enthusiasts and restaurant-goers alike, these salads are guaranteed to sell out quickly.

And wait until you see The Anne Boleyn, Contra Café, Patois, Ruby Watchco Smoke Signals Bar-B-Q, and many others have in store for you! The chefs have been busy at work to create sumptuous dishes you and your friends will be drooling over. We’re talking the BEST barbecue, ooey gooey mac and cheese, silky butter chicken, secret recipes, and so much more.
