The First Fruits of Spring festival is in full swing and BlogTO offers a round-up of events. If strawberries aren't sweet enough, Tim's got a piece on Europa Bakery, and Wild Thing, a new cafe on Harbord Street. At Menumental, Eric dines at Cowbell.
Posted Toronto reports on Chef Mark McEwan's new upscale grocery store set to open this fall in Don Mills. Sounds great, except - Don Mills? That's a bit of a trek for lugging stuff home on the subway, isn't it? Oh... right, car-free environmentalists from Parkdale are probably not McEwan's target market. Also, long-standing Dooney's Cafe in the Annex will be shutting down, although the space will remain a cafe.
And they've been crazy busy at Spotlight Toronto with breakfast at the Senator Diner, a photo recap of the One City One Table event last weekend at the Distillery, previews of Summerlicious and the opening of Yummy Stuff bakery. There's also a recap of Currylicious, and a review of Wah Too Seafood.
At Gremolata, Ivy Knight gets bunch of little kids hopped up on lemon tarts; apparently there are good eats in Fredericton; Noelle Munaretto attends the media event for First Fruits of Spring; Malcolm Jolley interviews winemake Norman Hardie, and there's a link to the Canadian Chefs Congress blog, where they're planning a big to-do in September.
James Chatto recaps the One City One Table event in his last blog post for Toronto Life, promising an even bigger and better event next year. And David Lawrason has a post on the Niagara Wine auction.
