What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Stockyards Smokehouse and Larder was a barbecue-focused restaurant at 699 St. Clair Avenue West, at Christie, in Toronto's St. Clair West area. It appeared in the episode "Chicken, Chili and Chowder" (aired 2013-04-29). Now Toronto's feature published 2012-07-19 described St. Louis-style pork ribs, a pulled pork sandwich and a whole smoked chicken with a jerk-style spice blend, and identified Tom Davis as the person behind the restaurant. In October 2022 blogTO described the restaurant as known for ribs, fried chicken, cheeseburgers, BLTs and grilled cheeses, and reported that it was closing permanently around the end of that month. blogTO's restaurant listing for Stockyards, viewed 2026-10-19, carries a closed label and places the restaurant on St. Clair West. Now Toronto's piece also described a green bean salad with garlicky vinaigrette and cubed sweet potatoes in buttermilk dressing topped with house-smoked bacon.
