Who is the best @tbaymarket vendor? Our readers say it’s @pie.ology_ owned and operated by Malcolm and Amanda Hope. The Hopes were regular customers of Pie.ology when the previous owners announced that they were moving out of town and closing up. “What if we put in an offer,” joked Amanda, and the couple bought the business in October 2018.
A trip to the market isn’t complete without one of their pies, fresh and piping hot. Made from scratch with an all-butter pastry, the pies are perfect throughout with fillings ranging from savoury (various smoked meats from local butchers, @thunderoakcheese cheese, eggs, mac n’ cheese with pasta from @biglakepasta) to sweet (apple, pear, pumpkin, etc.).

What was TBay’s best art exhibit in 2019? Our readers say The Butterfly Story—the “canvases” for these works of art are breast cancer survivors who collaborate with founder Michelle Blackburn, artist Chantal Hughes (Ouellette), photographer @izyphoto, and hair stylists (@jenny_withthegoodhair & @deelicioushair) to create a photo that represents their journey. All proceeds from The Butterfly Story events, calendar sales, and book sales support the Northern Cancer Fund and in turn the Thunder Bay Breast Cancer Support Group.

What is #TBay’s best food truck/trailer? Our readers say it’s Local Motion. Since 2013, Pinetree Catering’s chef Nikos Mantis and Shawna Deagle have been serving up fan favourites, such as the Herbivore Burger, pickerel tacos, and confit duck and chicken spring rolls—there’s always a new gourmet dish to sample before you indulge in a grilled persian served with @norwestermapleco syrup. Is it June yet?

What’s #TBay’s best barber shop? Our readers say it’s @thebarbershoptbay, owned and operated by Bryan Fresco. And, yes, you can get a beer and @frescosdeli sandwich with your haircut (we recommend the Barber Shop special: mayo and mustard, calabrese salami, hot capocollo, red onions, and banana peppers).

Who’s TBay’s best clothing designer? Our readers say it’s @ungalliclothingco. Founded in 2013 by sisters Bree and Hailey Hollinsworth, their clothing is ethically-made in Canada from recycled and organic materials. They have won a Top 30 Under 30 award for Sustainability Leadership in Canada, the Quest Climate Grant from @cangeo and, most recently, named a changemaker by @absolutvodka as part of a campaign where they were given $10,000 to donate to a charity of their choice (@davidsuzukifdn).
