Friday Roots & Vibes
Southern Food and Soul Music Restaurant
Friday Roots & Vibes is a return to my roots. It is all about soul, from the food to the stage. The cuisine that defines my home, the American South - southern, low country, soul food - brought north of the border. With deep roots and influences from African, European, and Native cultures, there is something for everyone that will feed any soul.
Menu highlights include my famous Gluten Free Fried Chicken, Classic Mac & Cheese, and top rated 'FRIDAY' Burger.
We are located at 876 Dundas Street West, in Toronto, Ontario. Check us out online and follow us on instagram for updates.

"Quite possibly the best fried chicken I've ever had in my entire life. My boyfriend and I were there last night for a celebratory dinner and the service and ambience and drinks were outstanding as well. Can't wait to come back and try more food!"

Grindz By Joe Friday
HEALTHY PREPARED MEALS DIRECT TO YOUR DOOR
Grindz by Joe Friday is my personally prepared meal plan company that offers direct-to-door gourmet meal plans. With a focus on local and seasonal ingredients, my meal plans are a perfect way keep your eating habits on track. Not only have I incorporated my worldly culinary style into the meals, the name reflects my time living in Hawaii. The word ‘Grindz’ is slang in Hawaii to describe local-fare. I wanted to reference the local and seasonal fare from Hawaii and bring that connection to delicious local food to my new home Toronto.
Menu highlights include my Hawaiian Chicken, Soy Maple Salmon, and Red-Wine Braised Beef.
"I’ve been ordering for the last 4 months and I love it. Joe is the most creative chef I know and I promise you won’t be disappointed."
