Foodie Classic. Ahead of its time. Many imitators, few successes. For true culinary epicureans Fergus Henderson is the standard for “total utilization.” He was doing offal when it was taboo, while others were gaining stardom and Michelin Stars serving truffles, foie gras, and fillet mignon. Henderson would not give way to trends and fads, staying true to his vision of a craftsmanship by elevating “alternate cuts” of meat on his menu. I’ll finish this post by quoting well known chefs who would be humbled in his presence.

The assembly line. A true invention of brilliance. One person in a line of many, doing one thing over and over all day long. Henry Ford introduced the world to mass produced efficiency. Everything from clothes and tents to appliances and books were produced in record numbers by the vast faceless hoards of assembly line workers.

Nutritional Gatekeepers GET REAL!
Like many of you, I am passionate about food and have been working in professional kitchens more than half of my life. After a quick tour visiting families and putting a ton of miles on the car, I wanted to share just a few oddball observations of my road trip through southern Ontario to the southern states.

Strawberry picking

Our never ending quest to keep our diets as local and as natural as possible has brought us to Andrew’s Scenic Acres for some pick-your-own strawberries. It’s location just outside of Mississauga makes it one of the most accessible farms in the West end of Toronto and the place is definitely designed to attract the masses. They offer pony and tractor rides, tether ball courts and a severely busy ice cream stand. Also, lots and lots of parking, a winery, hot dog stand, refreshments, freshly baked “farm goods” and other amenities that ensure everyone has everything they need. It seems a little too commercial but they had beautiful strawberries that made up for the shortcomings.
