It's cold and dreary outside and Toronto is celebrating indoors with Winterlicious. Today is the first day for frenziedly dialing the numbers to fine restaurants all over the city for a chance to eat normally expensive meals from a prix-fixe menu.Normally, I just drive through and order combo #3...but on January 25th, I will be donning my ascot, waxing my moustache and polishing my nails. What, What!
Last year we went to the Corner House Restaurant and had a great time. This year, we wanted to go to Canoe, which is located at the top of one of the TD Towers. A magnificent view of the city and great food...enough to make a gourmand and a bon vivant out of anyone - even a peasant like me. However, the official sponsor to Winterlicious (American Express) gives their card holders the perquisite of being able to harass fine restaurants ahead of untouchables like you and me.
We have settled on going to Millie's Bistro. Millie is a good, nay, better than most, cooks and the atmosphere is nice (I am told by the wife).
So, what are you waiting for? Go out and get stuffed!
