Food which People Had Died For in Canada

How willing are you to die for your food?

Have you ever had food so good that you would risk your life to buy some so that you can eat it?

Yes, people had died trying to buy their favorite food in Canada!

On our way to our little cabin up north during the long weekend, we always take Highway 400 and drive past Orillia.

Not long after  pasting the city of Orillia, we would see a steel overpass high above the highway allowing pedestrians who have parked their cars on either side of the parking lot to cross to the other side .

This overpass was built after nearly a dozen people had risked their lives crossing a four lane highway and trying to get
to the other side to buy food from the restaurant, Webers, where hamburgers, fries and ice creams were sold.

We stopped by and ordered the famous hamburgers plus some poutine from the restaurant. It has been in business for a long time. In fact,  Webers is celebrating its fifty years this year.

One of the neat things about the restaurant is its seating for customers. There are an abundance of seating available. Customers can choose to sit outside on its beautiful huge green property or dine in the refurbished dining railway cars. 

We chose to be close to nature and enjoyed our food outside on the well manicured park like lawn.  The hamburgers were fresh and tasty; we enjoyed the food and the beautiful setting.  But would I be willing to risk my life, cross the four lane highway in order to have this food?

 I don't think so!
