Fearless Meat is a no-frills burger spot in The Beach that’s great for the whole family. Owner David Brown has been a butcher for over 50 years and he hires kids from the neighbourhood to help steer the ship.

This family-run joint is equipped for dining in, taking out or for delivery, and is just what this neighbourhood needed. I am pleased to say Joe’s is within walking distance of our place. It’s really nice to be able to get…
