Top Toronto Restaurant the Black Hoof Is Closing This Summer | Eater

"Opened in 2008 as the owner's first and flagship venture, this groundbreaking, meat-focused Toronto restaurant became known for a stellar meat-driven menu, a bustling atmosphere, and its proprietor's outspoken presence in the community. Credited with helping put Toronto's dining scene on the map, it evolved from a provocative upstart into a venerable institution without losing its street cred. The restaurateur announced the decision to close the restaurant after ten years, with final service scheduled for August 20, 2018; she plans to hold the space until a worthy successor appears and has hinted at new projects." - Hillary Dixler Canavan
