london calling at london local
We are excited about Lindsay Porter and Evonne Li’s new resto, London Local, opening October 20 at 2307 Ellwood Drive SW. Lindsay, a Gold Medal Plates bronze medalist and former chef at Mercer’s Catering, El Cortez and Woodwork, offers the tastes of her English upbringing in this new venture, a casual, stylish gastro pub. Expect modern, full-throttle flavours in her characteristic style with a well-chosen beer, wine and cider list. And, we hear there will be Sunday roast. Can’t wait! Sadly, Lindsay isn’t competing at GMP this year due to the resto opening.

season of mists, mellow fruitfulness and stew (with apologies to mr keats)
Shane Chartrand is one of the most interesting and collaborative chefs we have seen in a long time. He has trained in great spots, worked with award-winning chefs, appeared on Chopped Canada, is a compelling speaker, has a cookbook coming out next spring and is a Gold Medal Plate competing chef. His salute to fall, a sausage and parsley stew, is just the thing you’ll want to eat during this chilly week.
