Thirty in Twenty: An Exhibition of Photography, Food, and Wine
The Department, 1389 Dundas Street West
free admission
In 1973, Toni and Ria Harting planned a three-week trip to renew an acquaintance with fabled French cuisine in the country itself. With the assistance of the authoritative Guide Michelin Rouge, the couple made a list of ten fabulous three-star restaurants in the eastern half of the country. Having no intention of spending precious money on hotels and accommodation, they rented a Volkswagen camper with enough room to sleep. Reservations for this gastronomical odyssey were made by phone and mail, and during twenty days in September of 1973 the couple experienced thirty stars of dining pleasure. These stars shine to this day, preserved in photographs and collected memorabilia to be shown to the public for the first time. (Continues to September 26th.)
