Police say it would be ‘unsafe’ to shut down Adamson BBQ due to large crowds

Toronto police say they don’t have the manpower to shut down a busy Etobicoke BBQ joint that defied provincial COVID-19 lockdown orders on Tuesday by opening for indoor dining.

Police and city bylaw officers arrived at Adamson Barbecue on Tuesday morning after it announced earlier on social media that it would defy the province’s orders forbidding indoor restaurant service.
