Dear reader,

In this week’s edition of Table Talk: an under-the-rader roving dinner series, what’s on the menu at the recently renovated Miller Tavern, everything there is to drink at Toronto’s (and Canada’s) first all-draught cocktail bar, and an old-timey dairy bar worth the drive. 

Keith Siu, Michael Ovejas and Kevin Le are on a mission to create a travelling supper club that’s never the same experience twice. For SeeYouSoon, their new pop-up dinner series, the three chefs collaborate with various food and beverage producers—farmers, fishmongers, café owners, sometimes even other chefs—for one-of-a-kind meals in unique locations.

Hoggs Hollow’s 166-year-old watering hole just got a glow-up. After taking over the Miller Tavern two years ago, restaurateur extraordinaire Hanif Harji decided it was time to bring a little downtown to the uptown spot. Step one: hiring executive chef Ilan Shpigel (pictured). Check out the new look and menu.

The libations experts behind Civil Liberties have opened up Civil Pours, Canada’s first all-draught cocktail bar, as a Christie Pits patio pop-up. From now until mid-September, you can stop by for a kegged jalapeno margarita, old fashioned or espresso martini—and/or grab some bottles to go. 

...we all scream for *takes deep breath* old-fashioned, house-made, double-scoop-in-a-waffle-cone ice cream. Head south on Highway 6 to Hagersville this weekend and pay Hewitt’s Dairy Bar a visit for a trip back in time (and some grape ice cream). It’s just one of our favourite road-trip pit stops.

TikTok turned Josh Richards from an ordinary small-town teen into a multimillionaire, CEO and venture capitalist—and he’s still only 21 years old. In this issue, how to make a fortune via bedroom eyes, 10-second lip syncs and a signature ’do. Plus, a nostalgic trip to Ontario Place, the best roadside diners, a shocking bio dad discovery story, and more. Still not receiving Toronto Life at home? Subscribe today.
