If you need any convincing that you should never mix family and business, then Alec Scott's investigation of the behind-the-scenes battles at Pusateri's in this month's Toronto Life should do the trick nicely. The article (which is not yet online) paints a vivid picture of the struggle between the widow and sister of the late Cosimo Pusateri, and reveals how one of them was ultimately pushed out of their partnership in the high-end grocery shop via a court-ordered settlement.

Other food & drink content in this month's issue - none of which appears to be online yet - includes:

• James Chatto looks at the increasing number of private dining rooms in Toronto's fine dining restaurants.
• Sasha Chapman on why it's so hard to buy Ontario fish in Ontario.
• David Lawrason explains that rosés don't all suck, and reviews a bunch of good ones to prove it.
• Rachel Heinrichs compiles a handy check list of some of the best places to eat pig in the city, from pork belly at Crush to a whole baby piggy (oh, no - Babe!) at Trevor.
• Stéphanie Verge deconstructs the Zen-gria, a complicated but tasty looking cocktail at Spice Route.
• Alison Garwood-Jones checks in with the grow-your-own chefs at The Drake, The Royal York and George to see what they're doing with their harvest.
• Courtney Shea tries not to laugh like Beavis and/or Butthead at the name of the recently opened Queen West pub The Cock & Tail.
