FROM THE PIT
TO THE CAN
Crafted over live fire.
Now made for every kitchen.
It All Started on Cherry Street in Toronto
What began as a passion for live-fire cooking grew into one of Toronto's most beloved BBQ destinations. At Cherry Street Bar-B-Que, meats are cooked low and slow over live oak fires, blending classic Southern BBQ traditions with the diverse flavours that make Canada unique.
The result? BBQ comfort food done the right way: crafted, never compromised.
Where There’s Smoke, There’s Lawrence.
For chef and pitmaster Lawrence LaPianta, BBQ has always been more than cooking. What started with backyard cookouts became decades spent learning from pitmasters, travelling BBQ circuits across the American South, and chasing a deeper understanding of the craft.
That journey eventually led Cherry Street Bar-B-Que to earn MICHELIN Bib Gourmand Award for four consecutive years, making it the only BBQ restaurant in Canada to receive the honour.
BBQ Sauce, Reimagined.
What started as a restaurant favourite now has a place in kitchens across Canada.
The same sauce served at Cherry Street is now yours to crack open at home, bringing together decades of BBQ experience, chef-crafted flavour, and a belief that great food doesn't need to be complicated.
Every can is built on the same philosophy that's guided us from day one: no shortcuts, no compromises, just really good flavour.
