Patio-season buzz: OpenTable’s Canada Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in 2026 is already turning heads, with Collingwood’s Lakeside Seafood & Grill making the list as Canadians book outdoor tables in droves. Turnaround watch: Burger King’s “Reclaim the Flame” comeback—remodels, ops upgrades, and more focus on the Whopper—is framed as a long game, but leadership says results are starting to show. Sweetener R&D: Tate & Lyle is expanding its collaboration with BioHarvest Sciences to develop multiple plant-based sweetener molecules, aiming to broaden options across food and beverage categories. Alternative protein debate: A new Canadian survey suggests 44% of people are open to eating insects, with most preferring insect ingredients hidden in products like baked goods. World Cup hospitality angle: Toronto is set to host six World Cup games (including Canada’s first on June 12), putting sports bars and food spots on alert for a summer surge.
