Rag Round-Up - Thursday, July 3rd

Posted by Sheryl Kirby in news and media, rag round-up on July 3, 2008 at 4:22 pm

It’s funny that we didn’t run into Steven Davey at Lula Lounge. He must have been visiting the place right around the same time we were to write his review today in NOW. And although we had some of the same dishes, it seems like our experiences were completely different when it comes to service. Davey also visits Manpuka, a Japanese noodle place in Village by the Grange. In his Fresh Dish column, he’s got info on Summerlicious, Harvest Wednesdays, the Slow Food picnic and Farmer’s Nights at Cowbell. Graham Duncan drinks a 50. We’re not sure why.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from other publications, the folks at Eye (again no byline this week in the online edition) seem to really like Spice Route.

At Metro, Barb Holland has some great ways to enjoy strawberries, there are some recipes from Everyday Grain-Free Gourmet: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner by Jodi Bager and Jenny Lass, and Billy Munnelly recommends some summer whites.

And not in our usual Thursday round-up, but still worth a mention is the article by Rita Zekas in the Toronto Star about Toronto’s lack of women chefs, and Kim Honey shares her account of Dinner in the Sky (and it seems like pretty much every food writer and media outlet has their own version - mine’s on my personal food blog, and Shinan Govani’s can be found in his National Post column today).
