Celebrity Chefs, Word on the street
Canadian Chefs Overlooked
The Canadian culinary community is apparently outraged that a new book profiling up-and-coming chefs, as chosen by a handful of the most famous and celebrated chefs in the world, does not feature a single Canadian. Chosen by chefs such as Ferran Adrià, Mario Batali, Rene Redzepi, Alice Waters, Gordon Ramsay, Alain Ducasse, Fergus Henderson, the [...]

Restaurant Review
The Iki Ideal
When my favorite Broadway diner sold out to make room for a new Japanese restaurant, I was upset. Kits does not need more average Japanese restaurants, but it is hard to find the perfect benny. My resentment towards Iki Japanese Restaurant only lasted 10 minutes into my first visit. They have left the space much [...]

Salted to Sell
A recent analysis on the sale content of 260 food products across the globe, undertaken by a British-based organization called World Action on Salt and Health, (or WASH – they sound like killjoys) has determined that Canada’s products were among the saltiest, often 200-300% saltier than the same products in the US or the UK.

If you need inspiration for salad making, you cant do much better, read here. And he has a video on salad dressings, here – worth watching just for the montage at [...]

Ferran Adria’s Favorites Places
Google maps has an interesting new feature that lets you browse a person’s favorite places, complete with photos. One of the first featured people, to my surprise, was Ferran Adria, chef of the infamous El Bulli. His favorite places may be too few and far between to change your weekend plans, but maybe not your [...]

Single Serving is Never Enough
Breaking News! Padma Lakshmi will be starring in a half hour comedy, rumoured to be called Single Serving, where she will play someone working in the food industry. The show is being produced by NBC, and although I had no idea, Padma’s acting “chops” extend to Star Trek Enterprise (really?), Glitter (ouch), and some other [...]

unlikely questions at the intersection of art and salami
What happens when art turns out to be edible? The NYT explores this tongue-in-cheek dilemma.
“And suddenly there rolled out onto my hotel room floor this salami,” he said. “And I was a bit thrown because I hadn’t been expecting to see a salami. And I picked it up and said, ‘Well, it looks pretty [...]

Restaurant Review, Travel & Eat
Hearty in Lisbon
Javier from gourmet kazoo (launching soon) emailed me an iphone pic of his dinner in Lisbon. Steak, ham and potatoes with an egg on top. Delish!
He said the restaurant was cozy with stacked bottles of wine. He found the food delicious and paired his dish with a glass of port. Although there wasn’t a single [...]
