Playing kitchen apprentice at an upscale restaurant is no vacation.

It’s all meat, all the time, at this Italian restaurant-cum-butcher shop described in the Los Angeles Times.

The real Gordon Ramsay revealed, in this week’s New Yorker.

Prime time TV has liquor on its breath: USA Today reports that “[tails have replaced coffee as pop culture’s elixir of choice.”

Any suggestions for a decent meal and listening to live music? Something similar to Alleycatz’s price point. Downtown, Uptown, North York preferably. TIA.

Does anyone know if Chef Riley has found a “new home” in Toronto yet?

And a bottle of rosé. A pairing story, part two.

Is this is readily available in Toronto? Also is it artificial like truffle oil?

Does anyone have recommendations for good quality canned sardines and other fish/seafood from Portugal/Spain?

Hi All...are there any restaurants that specialize in or at least serve a few dishes from the Basque region?

There was a restaurant Accolade in the Intercontinental Hotel (connected to the Metro Convention Centre). At one point they started serving blind tasting menu only; circa 2001? Anyone remember who the chef was at that time?

Hey Chowhounders! I’m going to Sun Star, Leslie/Finch, for dinner with my family of 9 people. What dishes do you recommend? Seafood dishes and dishes with good wok-hay are especially welcomed. Thanks!
