Terroir Symposium Hitting Toronto
While in Toronto, try a peameal bacon bun at Momofuku Noodle Bar
Don’t feel like flying to Sweden to see what those creative Scandinavians are up to? Don’t have the money to fly to New York City to hear what David Chang is planning within the Momofuku universe? Ever wanted to meet the team behind “Cook It Raw” or the dudes from Joe Beef in Montreal? Just fly Porter (they have sales all of the time) and head north, to Toronto. On Monday, May 12th, the annual Terroir Hospitality Symposium will be held in a one-day conference, attracting some of the best and brightest food and wine industry types from both North America and abroad.
The Swedes will be out in force, leading a number of cooking demos highlighting their new Nordic style, including chefs like Magnus Ek (Oaxen Krog & Slip at Djurården), Daniel Berlin (Restaurant Daniel Berlin), Fia Gulliksson, (Food in Action) and Frida Ronge (vRÅ). They’ll be interspersed among some serious Main Stage Presentations:
