King’s Hawaiian is set to host an exclusive slider event in Toronto, partnering with three popular establishments along King Street to celebrate hockey season with a unique culinary offering. From October 22 to November 15, attendees can enjoy a trio of sliders served on 'King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls,' designed to enhance the game-night experience.
Participating venues include Beerbistro, Mascot Brewery, and Score on King, each offering a signature slider. Beerbistro presents the 'King St. Slider,' featuring "black angus beef, topped with whipped jalapeño cream cheese, chili lime mayonnaise, and crispy bacon." Mascot Brewery, on the other hand, offers a 'Jerk Chicken Slider,' served with "scallion slaw and Caribbean jerk aioli. Lastly, Score on King showcases a Crispy Pork Belly Slider with spicy soy glaze and pickled cabbage."
In addition to the local festivities, the brand will send lucky winners to Honolulu to experience the birthplace of King’s Hawaiian on King Street, where its journey began in the 1960s.
