Many can’t wait to celebrate and experience the season with holiday-inspired menus at their favorite restaurant. Let’s eat, drink and be merry together.
A funny thing happened on the way to James Smith’s dream of a career in sound engineering. A bowl of soup upended his plans. The year was 1989. Smith had left his native Australia to spend time exploring Canada. In Toronto, he met a fellow traveler at a youth hostel who took him to the city’s Chinatown and introduced Smith to an exotic new dish, Vietnamese fish stew.
Warm, chewy, and rich, a nice chocolate brownie (or blondie) with or without nuts is the perfect dessert to end the night. Corner piece please!
