Reddick and Ribs: Let Torontoist Plan Your Nite
So there we were, sitting at Phil’s Original BBQ on College. There was a chill in the air, and the place was near empty. But we were warm. Plates of generously portioned pulled pork and barbecued chicken swarmed our table. And just as we set into our food, the management put on Paul Reddick and the Sidemen’s ‘Rattlebag,’ a CD that has dazzled Torontoist since we got it for free while working the student reporter beat back in Uni. The music reminded us that Reddick was coming to town on Saturday night. What a great game plan for a Saturday evening, we mused – Barbecue and the Blues, courtesy of Phil and Paul.
Reddick plays the Silver Dollar on Saturday. He’s the closest thing Toronto has to a through and through blues man. And we once had a delusional cabbie that claimed Reddick and his Sidemen were also the ‘world’s nicest guys.’ What further recommendation could ya need?
