Dinner with Amy

Would you be intimidated by a dozen young, beautiful women piling into a five star hotel elevator on a Saturday night on their way to a $$$ restaurant on Avenue Road?  Didn't think so.  Strangely, our waiter at said restaurant seemed to be terrified of our table.  There could be no other explanation for his spotty service and general disregard to, well, service us.

Classic rice bowl (plated)

Inspired by the offerings of the popular Toronto restaurant Fresh, and a recipe tossed around kitchens and reinvented many times over by friends and families, this dish is a pleasure bomb of flavour, colour, and texture. (I offer my patronage if they open a location on the east side.)
