If you’ve ever been to a Toronto FC match you know how much spirit Toronto has at Toronto FC games. Fans really get into it and the energy is pretty intense. And it’s a special game tonight at BMO Field! Toronto FC hosts the world famous Italian football club AS Roma in a friendly match on Wednesday August 7th at 8pm. Ahead of tonight’s game, I got a chance to be at the reception to rub elbows with both teams at the new Cibo wine bar on King West (at the corner of King St W and Brant St. next to Brant House). It was a jam packed frenzy as guests got photo ops and jerseys signed. Even outside as AS Roma was getting off their coach bus, fans outside were anxious to get a photo of AS Roma as they headed into Cibo Wine Bar. The evening had AS Roma (and Toronto FC) branded cigars, fine wine and Disaronno cocktails enjoyed over gourmet Italian fare. “It’s always exciting to play a match against a club as storied as AS Roma,” said Toronto FC President and General Manager Kevin Payne. “With great players like Totti and De Rossi, this will be a real test for our players and a treat for our supporters and the Italian community in Toronto.” Visit http://www.torontofc.ca/tickets or ticketmaster.ca for ticket info. Reds kickoff versus #Roma at 8 ET tonight (on @TSN_Sports & @TSN1050Radio).

The Stop’s Night Market is a fundraising event, held at the Honest Ed’s alleyway, bringing together various chefs, food vendors and artists in support of The Stop’s innovative anti-hunger programs. This year, the event was on June 18 and 19, spanning 2 days instead of 1 in response to the overwhelming demand. What an amazing deal at only $50 for unlimited eats and drinks for such a great cause! This year they raised $115,000!
The annual Boys Night Out event is like being in the manliest of man-caves. They have pretty much everything the youngest and oldest men could want including poker tournaments, golf, motorcycles, sports cars, cigars, fine spirits, tons of great food from local restauranteurs and tons of varieties of fine wine to discover from the Lifford Wine & Spirits portfolio. One unique experience was by the GotStyle section, where owner Melissa Austria would size you up and give you a pocket square with a colour that coordinated with your outfit. With my purple, navy and white checkered shirt Melissa chose an electric blue pocket square. A bold colour for a bold occasion. What a great event idea! There was also a poker tournament, silent auction items, and raffle tickets for big items including the grand prize of a weekend with an Audi S5 Cabriolet with golf and stay at Deerhurst Resort in Muskoka. Basically it was just a great fête letting boys be boys (and women are welcome to) with proceeds going to the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation and Prostate Cancer Canada. You should definitely check out this fun, annual charity event for a great cause.

In this issue: Event Recaps Spirited Dinner Spirits Confidential Disaronno Mixing Star Dinner Upcoming Events Boys Night Out Crave TO It was back-to-back days for me with Beam Global starting with a Spirited Dinner with Jim Beam’s Great Grandson, Fred Noe III followed by the next afternoon with fine spirit sampling at Spirits Confidential. But even after 2 days, it’s incredible how varied the amount of spirits there are to sample with the large Jim Beam collection of brands ranging from whisky, bourbon, scotch, tequila, vodka and even Courvoisier cognac. Also I got to join in the celebratory Disaronno dinner for Simon Hooper’s win as Toronto’s finalist for The Mixing Star global bartending competition. EVENT RECAPS Spirited Dinner with Jim Beam’s Great Grandson The Drake Hotel was the scene for the sold-out exclusive 5-course Spirited Bourbon dinner with special guest: Jim Beam’s great grandson, Master Distiller Fred Noe III from Kentucky. There was also Master Bourbon ambassador, Adam Harris from Austin Texas. It was Fred Noe’s second trip to Toronto in 15 years and Adam Harris’ first trip.

Here’s our photos from Digital Dreams 2013, the 2 day EDM fest at Echo Beach with Tiesto as the headliner. It was sold out with an estimated 55,000 people over the 2 days there for Canada Day long weekend. Even scalpers were having trouble getting a hold of tickets on the first day. You could easily hear the loud bass from a kilometre away from the 4 stages that made up the dance festival. DJs included Wolfgang Gartner, Paul Van Dyk, and headliner Tiesto.

Last night it was all about the 4 amazing young ladies known as the déVah Quartet and rightfully so. Recently coming off the success of a Kickstarter campaign they hosted their EP release party at Tattoo Rock Parlour with an incredible high-energy performance. Their talent with the electric strings is interesting and intense. Classically trained, contemporarily relevant. I’ve seen how far they’ve come in a few months since my first encounter with them at the ISES Toronto Steampunk Gala and the CSE Star Awards gala. Even before Kickstarter and this EP release they’ve racked up accolades galore including the title of Yamaha Artists in 2011 and working with big names such as Kanye West, K-OS, Feist, Barbara Streisand, Peter Gabriel, Diana Krall, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and many more. Keep an eye out for deVah Quartet and when you get the opportunity to watch a performance, make sure you seize it! Check them out at www.devahquartet.com Here’s some of my photos. Scroll down for the full gallery from the EP release party. Here’s a sample of their live performance last year of one of their original songs “Tell Me How You Really Feel”: Check out the full photo gallery below from deVah Quartet’s EP Release party.

Happy Canada Day! NORTH YORK A preview of the tastes at Origin North The highly acclaimed Origin North by Claudio Aprile opens at Bayview Village. We have more photos to come from the grand opening. KING WEST The late-night food choices at King West grow with the addition of Valdez and Belly Buster Submarines. Valdez In the old Cheval nightclub, check out the new Latino street fare Valdez including fresh ceviche and mojitos. Watch for the Argentinian BBQ specials they will be having on their rooftop patio. Belly Busters Submarines With 38 years in North York, Belly Busters opens their first expansion at King and Spadina. QUEEN WEST Mavrik Wine Bar Mavrik Wine Bar was established in 2011 but they’ve refreshed everything and it’s worth checking out their unique approach of pairing wine with tacos. EVENT RECAP Seafood for Thought One of my favourite events does it again, the Seafood for Thought event is heaven for foodies and for fans of the Ocean Wise sustainable seafood cause. If you’ve never been, it’s definitely worth every penny! UPCOMING FOOD EVENT Save the Date for Crave TO You heard it here first! The second iteration of Crave TO is set for Saturday, August 17th. The official announcement will come from CraveTO next Tuesday.
Although the Luminato Festival officially ended Sunday at the Luminato Festival Hub at David Pecaut Square on June 23rd, the official closing party was held at Andrew Richards Designs at King East on the prior Saturday night, June 22nd. Refreshments were supplied by Open Wine and Mill Street. We also had some Drambuie cocktails including their Drambuie Ginger Crusta and Rusty Nail, just like from the opening party. Highlights of the night included a Biotherm Homme commercial remake, where guests got to look in the one-way mirror and get recorded while a bunch of women used their hands to massaged the man’s (or woman’s) face. It was great fun for all seeing the results on the TV screens. On the other end of the big room at Andrew Richards Designs, there was a photoshoot set up with a surfboard. Guests tweeted for a chance to win prizes like Mike Tyson boxing gloves. The barbecue outside at ARD’s patio area was a nice touch with ribs, corn and hamburgers. Guests in attendance included: singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, Jorn Weisbrodt (Luminato Festival’s Artistic Director), Brendan Canning (Broken Social Scene), and Greta Constantine’s Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickersgill. Here’s the Biotherm Homme commercial I got to relive at the closing party. I wish I had the tentacle treatment, though!

For this unique occasion for Polo for Heart, a charity event supporting Heart & Stroke Foundation, I arrived early in the morning when the gates opened at the Toronto Polo Club in Richmond Hill. With the rows of billboards lining the side of the road heading in, it was evident that this was going to be a special experience kicking off the first of 3 days of the annual Polo for Heart charity event. The boutique pop-up shops were a unique sight to see including the beautiful, decorated ascot hats for sale, perfect for the fancy occasion of watching polo. There was also art for sale, a Lion’s Club BBQ, and a kids play area. I headed over to the other side of the large polo field by walking across the big field (although shuttle service is available) to get to the Ritz Carlton Polo pavilion tent where there were many amazing items up for silent auction (including a table for 10 for next year’s Polo for Heart) as well as all the dining tables and bars. There was also an Upper Canada Mall photo booth with a chance to win a Michael Kors purse. The rules of polo were explained to all guests, so it was a really accessible introductory event even for those who know nothing about the sport. The opening ceremonies started off with the parade of polo players trotting in on their horses escorted by many well-trained hound dogs from the Eglinton Hunt Club. It was quite the fanfare. Then it was time to start the polo match. It was a friendly demonstration rather than competitive for everyone’s safety due to the rain the night prior making the grass damp in some areas. It’s quite a spectacle to take it all in while enjoying the lunch buffet. During halftime there was the traditional divot stomp where spectators gathered onto the field with a glass of bubbly while flipping over divots to help cover up the holes in the grass. However, because of the rain there weren’t many divots to flip over. But it was still fun to all gather and clink the glassware (plastic for safety, of course) with everyone on the field. This was followed by skydivers who landed on to the polo field with a Canadian flag and Heart & Stroke Foundation banner. The fashion show featured outfits from Upper Canada Mall retail stores. It may surprise some Torontonians that this destination mall in Newmarket has well-known retailers such as Target, Apple, The Bay, Victoria’s Secret, Sephora, Brandy Melville (coming soon) and more. Basically there were so many activities going on at Polo for Heart that the day seemed to go by instantly. It was just that much fun and a day that I’ll never forget. Special thanks to Idea Workshop and Upper Canada Mall for inviting Tanya from FashionEcstasy and myself out for this exclusive opportunity to discover this great event. Polo for Heart is definitely a must-attend experience! It’s a memorable gift idea for Father’s Day. Also, the Toronto Polo Club has team-building programs for organizations who are looking for a special team-building experience. Check out CTV’s Lloyd Robertson’s video from last year talking speaking about Polo for Heart and the Heart & Stroke Foundation. ABOUT POLO FOR HEART For over 34 years, Polo for Heart has brought players from around the world to The Gormley Polo Centre in Richmond Hill to participate in the world’s oldest team sport. You can witness the power and the passion of polo at this 3-day event featuring two international polo matches each day. Your day in the country will be as equally exciting for what takes place off the polo field – boutiques, silent auction; half time entertainment, the traditional champagne divot stomp; children’s village and the perfect polo picnic and best hat contests. Celebrating 34 years of fundraising, this event has raised more than $5 million for heart and stroke related charities. For more info visit poloforheart.org More photos below.
Once again, it’s already obvious that the Seafood for Thought event at the Toronto Zoo is one of the best events in Toronto of the year. It always brings out the top talent of Toronto’s culinary scene with each station serving recipes using the best sustainable seafood while at the fun environment of the Toronto Zoo. At last year’s Seafood for Thought there was a baby penguin posing on the grass to everyone’s delight. Photo opportunities were welcome. Petting the sting rays and meeting the colourful parrots were also a nice touch. But unlike last year where we were treated to a downpour of heavy rain, the weather cooperated this year to give us a perfect sunny evening at the new “Giant Panda Experience” area of the Toronto Zoo. It was very befitting since the pair of Giant Pandas have just recently arrived from Chengdu, China. We wrote all about the Giant Pandas and their arrival via Fed Ex’s “Panda Express” to the Toronto Zoo in March here. They’ll be at the Toronto Zoo for 5 years followed by another 5 years at the Calgary Zoo before they return to Chengdu, China. We were greeted at the first entrance by the giant panda mascots, followed by the second entrance with the adorable donkey. Inside, the event was packed with guests. 12 top chefs including Jason Bangerter (O&B Canteen and Luma), Trista Sheen (Crush Wine Bar), Lora Kirk (Ruby Watchco), David Friedman (Red Fish), Giacomo Pasquini (Vertical Restaurant). Other booths included Drake Hotel and Shangri-La Hotel. PORT restaurant‘s table was a main attraction with long line-ups for their Lake Superior Trout with mango and celeriac puree, Canadian barley risotto, apple & fennel and tip choy slaw. A nice touch was that wooden food trays with built-in drink holders were available for guests to use to free up a hand. More food-centric events need this! So if you’re an animal lover, a foodie, or even an environmentalist and you haven’t been to Seafood for Thought, you must put this annual event on your calendar. The goal of the Seafood for Thought events is to raise about the importance of choosing sustainable fish and seafood products so that we all ensure a environmentally-responsible future with an abundant and healthy aquatic ecosystem. Seafood for Thought is an event that young (19+) and old can appreciate while learning about smart and delicious seafood choices. Tickets were an incredible deal at only $85 each or $150 for 2 tickets, all inclusive of food and drinks, entertainment and zoo attractions. Even the $10 parking is included. No matter how old you are, going to the zoo makes you feel like a kid again. And what better setting to do so while having delicious sustainable seafood and drinks with your friends and family. Check out Toronto Zoo’s official video from the 2010 Seafood for Thought event. As amazing as my first time at Seafood for Thought was last year, this year was even better when combined with the viewing of the pandas. Watch for this as we put together our list of favourite events of 2013!
