Pastrami King Update: Barrie bound
Update on my post about the soon to open Pastrami King deli, which I wrote about here.
I had an excellent lunch at Coleman’s Deli in Toronto the other day (wayyy too long since I’ve been there), with the Pastrami King himself, Mr. Marty Marks. He has confirmed that the King will open up in Barrie, Ontario, a city about an hour north of Toronto. There will be no Toronto location at this time.
Here’s a few tidbits I gleaned from Mr. Marks on the new place:
-it will be just off the 400 highway, west of the Dunlop St. exit
-there will be special cooler bags available for sale to regulars heading up to cottage country, and they’ll get a discount on all takeout orders
-he’s going to be smoking the pastramis out back!
-expect homemade blintzes and coleslaw, among other treats
So get the sunglasses on and prep yourself for a few weekends by the lake this summer with a cooler full of meat. Nothing says wet, hot, Canadian summer like a sandwich from the King.
Can’t wait!
