One of Toronto's best-regarded Chinese restaurants is joining forces with some of the city's favourite barbecue businesses for a one-of-a-kind dinner series this summer. Kensington Market's Sunnys Chinese has launched a summer-long barbecue series wherein some of the city's top chefs take over the restaurant patio on select Sundays from June to September to serve up sizzling, seared goodness.
The first installment took place on June 28, featuring Andrew Golden and Kris Hansen of Golden Horseshoe BBQ, who served up a menu of Texas-inspired barbecue dancing with Chinese flavours: Sichuan-spiced sausage, cumin-spiced lamb, mapo tofu, baked beans and cornbread with oolong condensed milk.
The next installment of Sunnys Sunday BBQ, set to take place on Sunday, July 19, will be headed up by Top Chef Canada winner and Culinary Director at Our House H.C. (Prime Seafood Palace, Iron Cow Public House), Coulson Armstrong. On August 23, Barbode Soudi, the chef and owner behind Mozy's Charcoal, one of the biggest breakout restaurants of the year in Toronto, will fire up the grill. To close the series out, on September 27, Mizunara's Alyssa Figueira will take on the final act.
The team at Sunnys says: "Expect smoke, seasonal ingredients, cold drinks, and a few surprises along the way." Reservations for all three remaining installments of Sunnys Sunday BBQ are available for booking through OpenTable.
