If you haven't checked out my other site, Travelmammal.com, what are ya waiting for already? Travel Mammal focuses on travel and food related posts, videos and experiences. But since you're here, I'll give you a taste of what Travel Mammal is all about.
This video is from the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo in Toronto. Now, when someone tells me about an event where all sorts of food, beer and spirits, from around the World, will be under one heavenly roof, for a limited time only, it doesn't take much to convince me to attend.
The Gourmet Food and Wine Expo is definitely one of those marquis events. It made a stop in Toronto recently and thanks to a few people behind the scenes, the Travel Mammal was able to get to the center of the action, sample some of the gourmet cheeses, delicious desserts, dangerously awesome drinks and of course document my experience. The video below...you guessed it....illustrates my experience.
It was my first time at such an event so my rookie tendencies sometimes got the better of me. I have to thank Rob Librandi, Co-Director of Operations at S7 Productions for coming with me, bringing his amazing camera and sampling some of the food and wine hardware on hand. Enjoy!
Executive Chef Mike Crockford has quietly been making a name for himself for nearly ten years. Confident, consistent with a reputation for exemplary neo-Italian cuisine, Chef Mike is turning ORO restaurant into Elm Street’s primary destination for exceptional dining.
Having spent time at North 44, Chef Mike has certainly learned from some of the best in Toronto. He’s honed his culinary magic but like any true artist, he is constantly fine tuning his creations while simultaneously exploring other exciting directions. Add a very eclectic and diverse wine list to the menu and it won’t take long to understand why Chef Mike and his truly unique dishes are the reason for his growing prominence in the Toronto dining scene.
