In the decade following World War II, dining in restaurants started to become more common among ordinary families in Toronto.
Responding to the need for inexpensive but decent quality food, several family-style chains of restaurants began opening in the mid-1950s and 1960s.
Among them were Swiss Chalet, Church s Fried Chicken, Harvey s Hamburgers, St. Hubert, Steak N Burger, KFC, and a few years later, Ponderosa.
The restaurants appealed mostly to budget conscience customers, so to trim costs these chains offered a limited menu, the style of the food similar to what might be referred to today as comfort food.
