REVIEW

This was Zally’s restaurant! Who is Zally, you ask? Zal Yanovsky was famous for three things: he was lead guitarist for the Lovin’ Spoonful; he was ostracized by the ’60s counterculture for allegedly ratting on his dealer when he was picked up for possession; and, in the ’70s, back home in Canada, he opened Chez Piggy. Zally died in 2002. Chez Piggy is now owned by Zally’s daughter, Zoe. Learn more about Zally by listening to The Mamas and the Papas song, Creeque Alley.

Mid-August in southeastern Ontario – we found great local tomatoes everywhere we looked.

The ribs are cooked over fire, resulting in a blackened, but not burnt, crust.

Many restaurants in downtown Kingston have hidden courtyards in back, accessible through these passages from the sidewalk.

Chez Piggy was started in a converted limestone stable in 1979.
