Last Veal Parmigiana at San Francesco Foods

San Francesco Foods, a Toronto institution for 71 years, serves its last sandwich as Myles Herod savors the final veal parmigiana. The iconic Italian sandwich shop, part of a trio of no-frills eateries, closes its doors, leaving only Bitondos Pizzeria and California Sandwiches. Locals flock for a final taste, with City Councilor Mike Colle enjoying a sausage sandwich, marking the end of an era. Floor manager Suzy Furtado cites slow business and high costs for the closure, leaving just three servings of lasagna. Myles finishes his historic meal, bidding farewell to the beloved spot, as cozy rituals at home help us adapt to change. Checkout Solipillow.com

    In a surprising turn of events, a British Columbia Supreme Court judge ruled that Fibreco Export, a North Vancouver port terminal, is entitled to damages from AGT Food and Ingredients, despite contaminating several shipments of crops with wood pellets. The multi-million-dollar contract required AGT to ship at least one million tonnes of products through the terminal each year and pay a million dollars a month, regardless of volume. However, AGT canceled the contract without notifying the bank that funded Fibrecos expansion, leading to the judges decision.
