TORONTO — Chef Joe Friday’s first solo restaurant venture, Friday Burger Company, is open with two locations in Toronto – TABLE Fare + Social on the fourth floor of 81 Bay Street at CIBC Square (now open) and 2162 Danforth Ave (opening September 22).
The gourmet comfort-food restaurant features Friday’s signature burger, a recipe that took him two decades to perfect. There are four burger choices including the Friday Burger, the Double Friday Burger, the Chili Cheeseburger and the Mushroom Burger (vegetarian). The restaurant also serves up Southern-inspired Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwiches and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches, alongside other comfort-food classics, such as Grilled Chicken Sandwiches, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Fried Pickles, Friday Fries, Chili Cheese Fries, Poutine and Onion Rings. The menu also features a variety of hand-spun milkshakes, craft beverages and American-style pudding.
“Opening Friday Burger Company, a restaurant dedicated to the art of the classic burger and comfort food, has been a long-time dream of mine,” says Friday. “Every Friday Burger is handcrafted, fresh and made using only the highest quality and local ingredients. I truly believe they are good for the soul and I can’t wait for Torontonians to taste the new best burger in town.”
