kathleen_daileyThe Real Jerk's co-founder dies at 69.
Ed Pottinger's death is very sad news. Until mobility issues intervened, spouse and I were regular customers at The Real Jerk ever since its very first incarnation (a storefront on the north side of Queen near Greenwood) back in the 1980s. We were so happy when the restaurant relocated to Queen and Broadview because it was closer to work and thus an easier destination for takeout for both staff and clients. I really hope the restaurant (now even closer to the old studio, at Carlaw and Gerrard) continues to flourish.
