A Michelin Young Chef Award Winner Shares His BBQ Journey

Andrew Golden, a 25-year-old chef, has won a Michelin Young Chef Award and is set to open his own restaurant, Golden Horseshoe Barbecue, in Toronto. The restaurant, specializing in Texas-style barbecue, marks Andrew's journey from a hobby to a brick-and-mortar establishment. The restaurant promises to offer wood-fired, custom-built smokers and a quick-service, authentic Texas vibe. Golden hopes to continue the passion for barbecue he and his mother, Doris, have shared for years.

• The restaurant will be located at 657 Dupont Street.
• Construction on the restaurant started in March and is set to open this summer.
• Andrew, the pitmaster, aims to provide the best meat possible through custom-built smokers and wood-fired cooking.
• The menu includes classic barbecue items like brisket, ribs, and sausage, with the option to cook whole pigs occasionally.
• Golden is excited to work with his mother, Doris, in the kitchen and looks forward to sharing his passion for barbecue with patrons.
