Almanac Charity Dinner

            Incredible night. Delicious, delicious, delicious. And it's not the funky fun wines talking. Nor just the great company in keeping. Hooray to new friends.

So glad I jumped in on one of the limited tickets. A great way to support a fantastic organization and also partake in incredibly delicious food from some of the city's finest (and ones who I've been a loyal fan of from from the moment I've eaten their food).

A highlight as always is the chance to eat chef Thuet's cooking. I love wild game (note insertion of the word wild. That makes a huge difference). Marc has consistently been the "source" that I could taste such interesting and delicious meats since back in the days of his restaurant on King. It might not be as easy to have those experiences these days but I do jump on any chance to eat Marc's cooking. 

I had a chance to casually catch up with chef after his course to catch up, and we did touch upon the news that a number of Montreal restaurants now had the opportunity to serve game. We're hoping for the same opportunities in Ontario however how there should be some sort of regulation so that it doesn't get abused. On a semi-related and unrelated note, I returned to my seat for dessert curious what lynx would taste like, and wondering how folks at the Taj would enjoy game. (Am I giving away enough? Or not? Hmmm...)

Of course, my loyalties to many others on the list can probably be deduced from my photostream. Not playing favourites here, but this line up was like a dream team for me. Haha. Even JC on hearing noted it. It is. Indeed, it is.
