We've been slacking hard-core on this blogging. Jon's been busy finishing up law school and I've been traveling up and down the state of California for work (can you locate Visalia on a map?). But the good news is that all our down time that has not been spent updating this blog has gone into ensuring that you will have a rockin' good time at our wedding. And now that our invitations are printed, addressed, stamped, and just waiting to be mailed out (next week, perhaps), we should be able to shift some of our attention to this currently unloved blog.
Jon and I are hella (word I picked up in San Francisco) obsessed with Top Chef. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it's like Project Runway but with cooking. And when a chef hella impresses us, we try to visit their restaurant while in their city.
Such as Jamie Lauren's Absinthe in San Francisco.
Or Ludo LeFebvre's Ludo Bites right here in Los Angeles.
(Jon's foie gras beignet. Minus a picture of Jon.)
Right now, Bravo's airing Top Chef Masters, which pits recognized - verging on celebrity - chefs (as opposed to their sous chefs) against each other to compete for their charity of choice. And you know who won this past week's episode? Toronto's Susur Lee.
I first heard of Susur during an hour-long special on Food Network. He has a sort of has an east-meets-west philosophy to food. His first restaurant in Toronto was a twelve-table joint called Lotus. Now he operates Lee, a tapas-style restaurant, near King and Bathurst. And coming in June, his former space Susur will host a new concept restaurant called Madeline's (literally next door to Lee). Both of these spots are super-easy to get to by TTC - just a short walk from the St. Andrew's station. You better believe that Jon & I plan to visit one of these digs while we're up in the T dot.
To make a reservation for either call 416.504.7867. In the meantime, we'll be rooting for Susur on the little screen.
