We all know that the moment one adds “haute” to another word certain eyebrows are raised in curiosity and others are furled in contempt. Haute couture and haute cuisine are two such examples that we have come to understand, accept or reject.

Q: I am an active, healthy person but I always get the afternoon "slump and fog" which has me running for something to give me energy. Could I have a blood sugar problem? Besides nuts, what else could I carry with me to avoid this hypoglycaemic type reaction?

It was by special invitation that we went to Harbour 60 to see the renovations and sample the new menu. What is described is an evening which will rank with some of the unforgettable ones in my lifetime. Yes, it was that good.

The idea is wonderful. Imagine you don’t have to go downtown or to Mississauga to have dinner and see a live show. You don’t even have to go from the restaurant to the theatre.

Does the name Lynn Crawford ring any bells? Think hard! Lynn was the Executive chef of the Four Seasons here in Toronto. She held the same position with the same establishment in New York City and at the time was the ONLY executive chef who was a female in their 70 restaurants world-wide.

Located downstairs at 70 Yorkville, Chimichanga is the newest and best Mexican restaurant in Toronto. Sister to the Yonge and Eglinton eatery, this smaller and quieter version has a similar menu but is just a little more chic than uptown.

If you grew up in Toronto and are a boomer you will remember The Lobster Trap. Located a couple of blocks north of Lawrence on Avenue Road, this was one of a few places we all went for a fancy Sunday night for dinner. The lineups went outside the door and if you were like most families you didn’t make a reservation. But the wait was worth it. That was 30 years ago or more.

The moment I walked in the room, I could tell it was a season of big delights.
Please forgive the paraphrase of one of the hit songs from SWEET CHARITY: “Hey Big Spender”. If you remember the music and the story, it is a treasure of a musical that promises to bring smiles and toe tapping to audience members. It is one of six shows announced last week for the 2010/2011 Season presented by David Mirvish.
