Culinary Tourism Event

This past Monday (January 28), we along with about 100 other food producers, caterers, restaurant owners and chefs attended the GPAEDC's Culinary Tourism event. It was a positive first step to making Peterborough & The Kawarthas a 'foodie' destination and we hope to see much more in the future!

All Hail the King of Chefs!

If you are into food & wine, then you probably know about Michael Stadtländer. He and his wife own the world-reknowned Eiginsinn Farm, in Singhampton Ontario. You have to wait for months for your reservation, you have to bring your own wine and, unless you're crazy, you'll book a B&B locally to sleep after the gastronomic wonder that you will be served... I have never been there - it's on my life list - but people I know who have just come away amazed.

Chef Stadtländer produces much of what he serves and is one of the biggest proponenents of the 'eat local' trend. This April, he will be the keynote speaker at the Green EXPO!

Cervantes is Gone?

Driving along Hunter the other day, we noticed that the windows at Cervantes are papered up and the space is for lease. Unfortunately, we have no information as to what happened but we hope all is well with Lee and his family!
