cookingthursdayHere's what's cooking around town today...

Buca's got the big thing going on: big room, big buzz, big appetites, big bucks. [NOW]

Should the DineSafe guidelines be offered in a variety of languages so restaurant owners who don't speak English know the rules? Or is the onus on new Canadians to learn at least one of our official languages? [BlogTO]

Some recent Canadian food trends: younger people are less interested in brands (in food, at least); only 11% of Canadians find Canada's Food Guide useful (that many?? huh!), and more people are cooking at home. [Cuisine Canada Scene]

Zane Caplansky outs himself as one of those yelly bosses and offers mea culpas to both staff and customers. Which is why we love him for being such a straight-up kind of guy. [Caplansky's Delicatessen]

Remember how we all whined and cried and called foul when we thought there were no Canadians in that Coco top chefs book? Turns out there are - 2 Canadians working in London and Georgia. No Canadian restaurants mentioned, but still. [National Post - The Appetizer]

Newly opened Paramour is a very pretty room, with a nice-looking menu too. [Compendium Daily]

Heh. Chokey chicken. This should be in Mammoliti's mayoral platform. [Torontoist]
