In a historic move to save the foodservice industry, several hundred restaurant owners, chefs, culinary leaders and celebrities across Canada have joined forces to support Canada Takeout to make every Wednesday #TakeoutDay
Today, Wednesday April 15 marks the first #TakeoutDay across Canada and you can do your part to help the local culinary scene by ordering takeout or delivery from your favourite restaurant.
Also, pair your takeout dinner with Canada’s Great Kitchen Party – Home Edition. It goes live tonight at 9pm AST on Facebook live, in partnership with Canada Takeout, and will feature entertainment from the country’s top talent, and athletes too. It’s hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos.
Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo, Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies, Tom Cochrane, Barney Bentall and Sam Roberts will perform on Canada’s Great Kitchen Party – Home Edition, with more drop-ins being announced weekly. Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea and the Alan Doyle Band, said that he is, “looking forward to bringing some Newfoundland Kitchen Party spirit to Takeout Day to help restaurants here in St John’s and across Canada.”
So rally your friends online and use the hashtag #TakeoutDay and show off the takeout you ordered or had delivered! Takeout is available just about everywhere in Nova Scotia.
Weather you order Kenny’s Pizza in Sydney River, Cape Breton or Parkside Smokehouse in Dartmouth, do your part and support local this #TakeoutDay!
