| Andy Elder |
Affable Andy Elder will happily serve you some of his delectable smoked brisket. Or some crunchy fresh salad. His Grilltime meat shop at 62 Laird Drive (at Kenrae Road) is a magnet for chefs or lunch seekers with a taste for the barbecue. Along with choice cuts of beef and poultry for the grill, Andy keeps a line of sauces and accessories for garden cooking that will dazzle weekend barbecue warriors. But you are just as likely to see Andy catering your fundraising event or as a rooting patron of your kid’s hockey team. And you will find Andy catering the buffet planned for the Leaside 100 Gala on Saturday April 27. The sold out event at All Canada Storage will feature a signature beef tenderloin carving station and other choice dishes. A visit to Grilltime is a rewarding adventure all by itself but one of the best parts is swapping greetings and local gossip with your host. Andy is a resident of Leaside of more than two decades and a lifelong veteran of the food service business. He opened Grilltime in 2008 and battled through the recession and start-up blues to achieve his present acceptance as an essential stop for the right cut of meat and barbecue accessory. Grilltime is open Tuesday to Friday 10 to 7, Saturday and Sunday 11 to 6. (416) 467-4745. Closed Monday. Meet Bill Grill
