Full disclosure: as a teen, I worked at the A&W in Yorkdale Mall, and I loved it. From elderly European customers attempting to order booze (root beer was a source of major confusion), to indulging in left over burger patties and fries at the end of my shifts, it was a fine way to spend my evenings and weekends. I still fondly remember being picked up after work by my then 16 year old boyfriend (he was a year older, it was a BIG deal guys) and strollin’ through the mall holding hands, thinking up ways to spend my small fortune earned as a cashier. It was basically a dream job.

I’ve had a soft spot for A&W ever since, and never miss an opportunity to grab a Teen Burger (with EXTRA EXTRA cheese) when I feel deserving of a lunchtime treat. It’s been great to watch the Can-owned business grow in recent years, and take on more responsibility to deliver higher grade meal options. A quick service resto with a conscience, A&W takes a lot of pride in working with local ranchers and partners, and was the first North American fast food chain to offer Nature’s Best Eggs TM (Canada Grade A quality!) and 100% pure beef with no additives, preservatives, fillers or steroids.

A&W3Aaaand, beginning on October 20th, A&W will be the first fast food resto to offer chicken that’s fed a veggie diet with no animal by-products and raised without the use of antibiotics. The 100% Real Seasoned Chicken is Canadian farmed, extra delish and available starting TODAY! What are you waiting for? GO!
