Total Focus Foodservice is proud to be one of the many great sponsors of Canada TakeOut Day.  Canadians from coast to coast are encouraged to make every Wednesday #TakeoutDay by ordering from their favourite restaurants.

 

#TakeoutDay is about more than saving restaurants.  Canada’s robust and diverse culinary scene is an integral part of our unique identity and the best demonstration of Canadian multiculturalism, which is what makes our country so special. 

On Wednesday, April 15^th, April 22^nd and 29^th, while Canadians enjoy their takeout, Canada’s Great Kitchen Party (http://greatkitchenparty.com/ca/) will be virtually entertaining people in their homes with some of our country’s best musicians, comedians, athletes and chefs in a special show of support. These shows will air on Kitchen Party – Home Edition’s Facebook at 8pm EST and be hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos.
