Cinnamon Hearts
Does anyone know who makes those red hot cinnamon hearts that appear everywhere around Valentine's Day?
Best Place to Find Korean Pork Bone Soup....
Thumbs Up rocks: best soup in the city for $6 - northwest corner of Bloor and Palmerston.
US Prime in T.O.
The conventional wisdom is that the US has a more vigorous grading system and so their Prime is generally better (has more fat) than Canadian. This works in a "conventional" industrial food supply chain, but if you get into properly raised beef and butchers who know where their meat actually comes from it's of little consequence.
What butcher to get baby back ribs in Toronto?
You can't really go wrong with Cumbrae's. Just call ahead. Or call any reputable butcher ahead. If you're downtown and west, Healthy butcher love to do this sort of thing too. It's fun. I highly recommend calling ahead.
Sunday night in San Francisco
Thank you for the rec's and discussion. I think we're going to try A16 - looks like the right vibe and menu...
Sunday night in San Francisco
Friday's Range and Saturday's Gary Danko, what should our Sunday night be? Thinking we want to shift down a gear or two, or maybe not... Two couples, one from LA the other from Toronto, sans les enfants on a gastro-weekend. Help.
Warning (as if you needed a warning)
I believe the EC location was a 2nd Green Jeans. Amazed it's still around. Do they still sell rainbow shoelaces?
Early dinner before Opera
Many thanks.
As it happened we ended up at The Rex after all for a quick 1 hour turn around burger and beer dinner. It was great, actually.
Early dinner before Opera
Is there anywhere decent and quick around the Four Seasons Centre where we can dine at 6 to make the opera at 7:30? Will not be starving or looking for elaborate service, etc. At this point I'm thinking a burger at The Rex, but my wife would likely prefer something a little more refined...
Raffetto's Nesselro
A Gremolata.com reader asked me this mornig if I new where to get Nesselro, an Italian miiture of chestnuts and dried fruits for a Xmas pudding. She gave the producer's name as Raffetto.
a cursory Google search has come up pretty empty. Is anyone familiar with the product or the producer? I'm trying to find the Canadian/North American importer.
Jerusalem artichokes
Pusateri's at Avenue & Lawrence will have them. They're around in the top shops.
surreal gourmet and other long lost favs
I think FoodTV Canada has a new series with Surreal (aka Bob Blumer) coming out shortly where he is put into difficult cooking situtations and/or kitchens. Can't remember the details, will see if I can find something on it...

The Cook's Place on The Danforth at Logan: http://www.thecooksplace.com/
Best selection of Japanese and German, know their stuff inside out, will sell you best value, not necesarrily most expensive.
Joanne Kates: where is she?
Just to be clear. She and her family run Camp Arowhon every summer. Not the hotel and dining room, though they're on the same lake.
