TORONTO — Knorr is taking over a Toronto home and turning it into a pop-up takeout restaurant called Yummy K’s. Beginning at 5 p.m. on August 10 through August 13, Yummy K’s will serve up original flavour-packed Taste Combos directly from the kitchen at 179 Crawford Street by Trinity Bellwoods Park.
Yummy K’s takeout-inspired menu will feature creations from restaurateur, chef and resident Torontonian Matty Matheson. The culinary mind behind local hot spots such as Prime Seafood Palace and Matty’s Patty’s, Matheson is known for bringing big, bold flavours to each dish.
Knorr Taste Combos is a brand-new offering of tasty, quick and affordable recipes that bring together a tasty trio of veggies, lean protein and flavourful Knorr offerings that can be prepared at home in under 30 minutes. Yummy K’s menu will feature four Taste Combos, each priced at $5:
- Matty’s Special – BBQ-Glazed Chopped Chicken Sandwich: chopped chicken tossed in barbeque sauce, piled high on slider buns, slathered with pickled jalapeno mayonnaise and topped with B&B pickle coins and diced onions
- Matty’s Special – Chilled Chili Soba: chilled soba noodles tossed with fresh vegetables and a chili dressing. Pulled chicken can be added for extra protein.
- Best Ever Juicy Burger: a juicy beef burger on a bun, complete with lettuce, tomato, red onion and mayo.
- Fully Loaded Chicken Tacos: three tacos with seasoned chicken and sautéed veggies wrapped in fresh corn tortillas and served with lime and cilantro
Torontonians can order their favourite Taste Combos ahead and skip the line, exclusively through the Ritual app, and pick up at Yummy K’s. All proceeds will be donated to La Tablée des Chefs, a non-profit organization whose mission is to feed, focusing on food-recovery initiatives and developing food autonomy among youth embarking on independent living.
“Ordering in is easy but it’s just not as good as home cooking,” says Matheson. “I can make a fire dish at home – better than takeout and save some money – and add that extra flavour with Knorr.
“With Knorr Taste Combos, we’re clearing up the misconception that cooking at home is bland, boring and time consuming. With just a few ingredients and Knorr, you can create delicious meals that compare to the taste and simplicity of your go-to fast-food order,” says Shagufta Hooda, Marketing lead, Knorr Canada. “By bringing a takeaway joint into a home, we’re showing Canadians they can cook up meals that aren’t fast food and sharing delicious inspiration they can try in their own home.”
