First day of Winterlicious--first restaurant in the line-up: the Wine Bar, formerly Jamie Kennedy’s flagship, now owned by Scott Vivian. Fifteen bucks buys the truffled mushroom soup, beet risotto, and crispy topped bread pudding--not a bad start to this biannual food eating orgy. I do miss Jamie Kennedy though, a master chef, who has recently been awarded the Order of Canada. An unfortunate turn of his fortunes forced him to scale back operations to avoid bankruptcy. How sad that brilliant celebrity chefs have difficulties making a living.
Ali at St. Lawrence Market’s Alex Farms Cheese shop is surprised that I have visited to his home country, Uzbekistan. I prove myself using the half dozen Uzbek words in my vocabulary.
I revisit Institute without Boundaries. As part of the Interior Design week, the institute presents their Lota project. Grand vision--grand scale. Very impressive!
