| It’s finally starting to feel a bit like the fall here the last couple of days which means warmer options for lunch! Yesterday was a big bowl of Pho and today an excellent bowl of spicy beef ramen. |

| Yesterday in Soave for the mercantino,
assorted cured meats, fresh bread
pasta in a tomato base with sausauge, zucchini, and the most flavorful, pungent smoked ricotta I have ever had
Manzo Alla griglia
Strudel di Mele, cheese cake with whipped panna, and tiramasu
Everything was homemade except for the wine, a Classico from Pra, 2011
And, we bought a barrel, French oak, stamped by cooper, very good condition. They make excellent cocktail tables. |

| Yesterday we made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Enjoyed on the patio with a Chimay Premiere (red label). Simple, but so satisfying. |

| Mitt Romney arrived at the White House a bit early for his lunch with President Barack Obama.......... The two men dined privately, without their aides in the room. They ate turkey chili and Southwestern chicken salad.
99% of lawyers give the rest of us a bad name.

A gracious supplier hosted me at Momofuko Daisho yesterday for lunch in the new Shangrila. It's definitely different and a welcome change for Toronto. No backs or padding on any seating and as much as a liked the playlist(it was good) it was freakin blasted like it was last call. All seating under 4 or maybe 6 is communal - comfort was not the main objective.
The food was very interesting, unique,and technical with some real highs - deep fried Brussels sprouts with crispy rice, chicken wing bun, 5 textures of chocolate with crystallized basil (highlight) but the lows were bordering unedible. Rice cakes were a strange gooey texture and halibut cheeks were crusted in something so granular we joked about breaking our teeth.
Overall, it's a good addition to the Toronto scene and I'm sure they will do great.
interesting. was discussing going earlier this week. if you had to pay - would you go back? or do i save this for when suppliers are in town?  |

Service was top notch, food was good to very good. Still can't believe the design.
New one? Or revamped Yorkville? |

| Chicken Korma and saag paneer from the only Indian fast food place in the underground who makes their own naan in a real tandoor. The Momofuko sounds interesting. It's pretty much across the street so I'm sure I'll try it soon. On a drinking note, the lobby bar at the Shangri-la does bottle service vodka for $75 a bottle which is unbeatable in downtown Toronto...
In Canada? Really? Duties in?
