Original Toronto Star caption: Honest Ed 'McMirvish' is the real thing? Restaurateur Ed Mirvish is never one to pass up a celebration, particularly when it lets him don a kilt, as Robbie Burns Day does today. He pranced in front of the Royal Alex yesterday, then paraded the haggis around Ed's Warehouse in anticipation of today's great event.
