Lou Dawg’s at King West invited the public to celebrate their 3rd year with the help of New Orleans big band Irene Torres and the Sugar Devils.  Appreciative customers were treated to Executive Chef Sean Smith’s famous jambalaya and samples of Fireball whiskey and swag.  Not a bad way to spend a Sunday night!

Boehmer’s had an invite-only event to celebrate another succcessful year with Chef Paul Boehmer and friends.  Fellow foodies and wine lovers were treated to cocktails (“Pimm’s Cup” was the delicious cocktail of the night) and a delicious variety of hors d’oeurves including oysters but the surprise delight of the night was the grilled octopus. Many thanks for allowing us to be there and have another successful year! For more information visit www.boehmer.ca

Greetings were well-received…

About the Fermenting Cellar: The Fermenting Cellar of the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery, originally constructed in 1859 on what was then Toronto’s waterfront, has now been transformed into the most unique event platform in the GTA…

To celebrate the spring and the unusual hot weather we decided to have lunch at Khao San Road to hear what all the fuss was about.  Khao Soi dish with tender braised beef, egg noodles in a golden curry rich in coconut garnished with crispy noodles, green onion, coriander and lime at Khao San Road on 326 Adelaide West.  At only $11 it was a delicious treat that even made me full!  I had to refuse my coworker’s leftovers which…
