Did you head down to the Monarch Tavern over the past couple of days in search of Zane Caplansky's smoked meat, only to leave empty-handed? Turns out the press from the Globe and Mail article on Saturday overwhelmed the poor guy, and after opening on the 10th, he was out of smoked meat within 24 hours.

Caplansky has asked TasteTO to pass on his apologies to our readers, and to let everyone know that he will be re-opening on June 19th with twice the amount of food on hand.

In the meantime, from tomorrow until next Thursday (June 19th) - with the exception of Sunday the 15th - he will be at the Monarch Tavern (12 Clinton Street, at College) handing out 2-for-1 coupons to anyone who stops by there for lunch.
