This week in my neighborhood...
The relaunch of Sooke Harbour House—this summer, with exec chef Melissa Craig at its helm—is the most significant restaurant opening of the decade (if not the century, thus far) for Canada. Read more on my website about its enormous influence and all-star alumnus.
@DrRowanAllport Only @LGlaucomflecken can do that
@amypataki I’m not sure this applies to some Asian restaurants. Isn’t the perfect score a 3.5 to find the best food you’ve ever had?
Time to pack it up and head back to Toronto in the morning. Had a great time in Portugal where I'm blown away by people's ability to switch from Portuguese to English to French so seamlessly, and their warm hospitality (we got a lot free booze lol).
*The* scent of tween girls in small town Ontario circa the late 90s was Satsuma. The smell gives me an instant full body flashback. RIP to a real one. cbc.ca/news/business/…
