  • Comments Off on Gourmet Bitches overhauls what you know about food trucks

The food truck revolution in Toronto is well underway, with the Gourmet Bitches (Shontelle Pinch and Bianka Matchett) showing that food from a truck doesn’t always need to be a heart attack in box, stick or sausage form.  Healthy and delicious choices are possible as evident with last night’s Gourmet Bitches food truck launch and tasting event at The Boiler House in the distillery district.  Guests were given an envelope to provide feedback on the gourmet delicacies.

Greetings were well-received with a delicious saketini cocktail with lavender which was sweet, strong yet delicious.  Wouldn’t it be amazing if this was served from the truck as well??  If only…

The kale and arugula salad was packed full of intense garlic flavour with sliced tomatoes which was a side dish worthy of standing on its own.

The mahi mahi & shrimp cerviche dish was another refreshing salad that would be benefit greatly with fresh squeezed lemon juice and peppercorn.  I could go to town with the rubbed chicken wings with 3 types of dip (lemon aioli was my favourite) and the pulled pork /sweet potato fries.  The best treat was the Balinese chicken on corn tostada with sour cream.

Looking forward to the mobile healthy gluten-free eats and treats in this hard-to-miss pimped out food truck!

Fermenting Cellar Open House

As part of the Canadian Special Events expo, Fermenting Cellar had an open house last week.  The feature cocktail of the night was a refreshing Cucumber Collins.  We especially enjoyed the oyster bar and dessert station as must-haves at your next grand event.

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. Located in the critically acclaimed Distillery Historic District, a national historic site and the most important heritage destination in Canada, this flagship venue hold up to 600 people for a stand up licensed event, to a maximum of 400 people for a seated dinner in a breathtaking Industrial chic setting. From the heavy timber beams and trusses to the original Kingston limestone walls, the Fermenting Cellar offers your event a memorable atmosphere.

On Friday March 30, 2012, the boutique loft-style, exposed-brick store located at Queen West which featuring unique designers closed its doors.  What better way to close a store than having an amazing DJ, open bar and a store full of energetic, dancing party people?

We bid a sad “adieu” to the bricks and mortar store but there will be an online store coming soon.
