    The TORONTO Styleforum meet and greet – October 23rd, 7pm at Nicolas menswear

    I will drop by.

    I place I haven't seen talked about here yet is Yasu. Went there a few months back. Well, actually quite a few months back, when it was still spotted prawn season. It is in a small space on Harbord near Splendido. You sit at the counter and watch the chef prepare an omakase menu in front of you...

     Yes, the halls and stairwell downstairs to the washrooms were like that, not so much the main dining area. I didn't realize where that came from. Momofuku Daisho last night. Not the tasting menu side but the regular restaurant. Its family-style/sharing dishes. All of it - from the Brussels...

    Probably a little late for this but I went to Bent before the holidays. Susur Lee is back in town at least temporarily. The place is run by his two sons and I guess he has been helping out in the kitchen. Rather than pick a la carte we let him do a full meal for the six of us. Food included...

    Managed to swing by Momofuku Shoto this week. The architecture of that entire building - the glass cube beside the Shangri La - is impressive. You walk in at street level to the noodle bar, a soaring open space as the 2nd floor above it is mostly catwalk. There is a bar on that 2nd floor which...

    Three floors. Casual - presumably your hated noodle bar. An actual bar. And the main restaurant, some incarnation of the 2-3 hour tasting menu experience that tomgirl refers to; the real reason for caring.

     Meh, condescension. It's hardly going out on a limb to suggest that a successful chef has a higher-than-normal-chance of doing well on subsequent ventures. New York envy? Seriously? Have you never looked forward to a new album release because you liked the band's previous? A new movie...

    Looking forward to this opening by the Shangri La http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/rumours-rumblings/2012/08/14/momofuku-toronto-kitchen/ although will probably be stupidly busy for the first 6 months.

    Dry cleaning stinks!

    Are they actually dry-cleaning your shirts or laundering them? Usually you bring a cotton shirt to a cleaner it gets laundered unless you ask for something different or it has a dry-clean-only tag.

    Solid shirt & tie color combinations that you find awful.

     I've generally tried to avoid having the shirt darker than the tie. Light coloured ties can work, but usually only with a white or very light solid shirt.

    Pocket Squares: A Discussion Thread, Questions, Opinions, Suggestions.....

     It is good to see they give HRH a nametag. Because, you know, there might be people at the Royal Ascot who wouldn't recognize him. I do like that PS with that grey though.

    I've seen the devil.

    I do like the company description: "Our founder, Andrea Nadel, has been drawn to food from a young age." For some reason we must be cut from the same cloth. I, too, was drawn to food from a young age. My mother says I used to cry if I wasn't fed several times a day. Its the damndest thing to...

    Toronto restaurant recommendation

    Dinner at George on Saturday night. Had the 7-course tasting menu with wine pairings. Didn't expect it but with two of us they actually brought different items with each course. Black cod on my side paired with scallops on hers. Foie gras with duck breast, foie gras with sweetbreads. Beef...

    One Shoe Wardrobe: Why Not?

    Well, actually, our manias intersect. You mention above how you have five of exactly the same shoe and would like more duplicates. How many more would please you? One? Two? Three? Let's say two. That's seven of exactly one shoe but in different colors and leathers. One for every day of the...

    Why high quality sunglasses are important (Or: How Maui Jim saved my eyeball)

    A few years ago a friend of mine was walking down the street to an important meeting. A pigeon **** on his head. His Ray Ban aviators did nothing to protect his hair. Although I suppose I should point out he did not get any in his eyes. He was late though. Had to stop at a convenience store...
