The weather didn’t co-​operate, but a great group of Unilocalers made the most of it.The freebies were simple, but perfect:— best fried chicken I’ve ever had— amazing rice crispy desserts— Mill St. beerWhat more could you ask for? An extra hour of drinking, that’s what! And Hadley + staff delivered.Great night…

The timing of this event could not have been better. A perfect place to be on the eve of one of Toronto’s snow calamities where just getting around the city could be a disaster. Hadley’s had hospitality in abundance, with their crispy fried chicken, cole slaw and boozy home-​made style rice crispy treats, along…

For those that were to wussy to come out and play in the snow, lets play a game to fill you in on what you missed.True or False:1. The best fried chicken ever.TRUE: Sure, Roscoe’s in LA is pretty great and it comes with a giant waffle, but this place is here in Toronto and its crispy, hot, juicy, and…

Good times were had.Namely — the rice crispies with the chocolate, and the caramel. Yeah — there was no way to know that the caramel was hiding under that chocolate, but once discovered? Fantastic!Having been squished into the Ossington bus, I was delighted to finally make my way into Hadley’s. Good people were…

When I arrived I was a little concerned that no one else was going to brave the storm… However, slowly but surely the Toronto Elites trickled in! I was thrilled that I hadn’t let the snow stand in my way as I scarfed down Hadley’s deliciously fresh and flavourful fried chicken! It was absolutely phenomenal…

Great event!It was worth braving the shitty weather and shittier TTC service to warm up at this cozy elite event. It started off quiet, but I’d say things definitely got roaring as the night went on! Props to Hadley’s and Ev for extending the drinking hours, despite this decision leading to my ultimate demise…

Confession time – this rating is all about the rice krispie treats. Literally, one star for every treat I had. (Okay, no, not literally. I don’t actually remember how many I ate but I’m pretty sure Unilocal won’t let me grade that high.)Much deserved shoutouts also go to:— the fried chicken, holy hell, you were…

[to the tune of the most recognizable song of the 90s]«…In East Vancouver, born and raisedOn the playground is where I spent most of my days…»«…I decided to go for adventure when shit got oldAnd I thought «Why not move to Toronto?»«…I waited for a streetcar and when it came nearThe sign said ‘506’ and it had…

Fantastic weather so had to get out and enjoy it and made my way to this small but cool place. Not sure whether to call it a café or restaurant.Anyway’s some fried chicken and beer kept the Unilocalers happy.Did not really get to stick around too long and speak to everyone, for which I apologise but thanks…

Coming in from Brampton was no treat with all that weather blowing around, but I made it 45 mins delayed all cold and wet to a warm welcome of Evelyn and fellow Elites and with a beer in hand all my travel worries were far behind me. Made even better when the staff at Hadley’s thrust a bag of warm delicious…
