Cookoos is the only spot in the GTA equipped with a 10-spit, wood-fired rotisserie. The aroma/taste sensation of smoky, succulent chicken has created loyal fans.  People from all ethnic groups are drawn to chicken cooked over wood – just like back home.  Cookoos was recently featured (Dec. 17, 06) in the Toronto Star by Jennifer Bain. Her headline said it all: “The birds are smokin’ – Wooden you know it; the GTA’s best rotisserie chicken is cooked over cherry and oak logs in Thornhill.”

Cookoos  rotisserie has been designed to our strict specifications. Its massive, high-temperature ceramic firebox stores and radiates the heat of the fire.  It doesn't drip onto the fire and cause bitter, acrid smoke to bathe the food; this allows the subtle flavors of our apple, cherry, oak, ash and maple fuel wood to standout. Our customers can see the mouthwatering food gently rotating through the wall of flame.  It's no mystery why people love our food!

Can you get wood-fired flavor from a gas-fired rotisserie or charbroiler?  No! There's no better way than a wood fire to get that subtle smoked flavor in our chicken, burgers, streaks and hot dogs. 

We are the only establishment in the GTA to offer this down home, wood-fired yumminess!

There is one more element to the story of naming Joe Boo’s Cookoos. Joe Boo is the owner’s nickname and “cookoos” alludes to cuckoo clocks, but Boussidan also admits to an unusual fondness for “hard c” food words. “The hard ‘c’ I liked because we have a lot of foods in the Jewish experience with that sound- like knich, kreplach, kugel and kiska.  “C’s are very good by food”.
