Summer is finally showing itself in the city; the sun is shining, garbage is (mostly) gone and all is well with the world. I had a fantastic time touring St. Lawrence Market, Kensington Market and Chinatown yesterday with Scott and Mia, a fantastic couple from Minnesota. Hope they enjoy the rest of their stay in the city and sample many more examples of Toronto's tastiness.
This weekend is a great one to spend in our city with multiple delicious events and happenings. Below is a short list of festivals and related links. Makes you almost pity the cottage folk.
Hope to see you there!
Toronto Food Events for the Weekend of August 7th-9th
Festival of Beer, August 7th and 9th (the Saturday is sold out) @ the Exhibition Place, Tickets $45 – More beer the food (obviously) but interesting things happen in the grilling forum and some the the breweries are great finds) http://www.beerfestival.ca/main/torontos_festival_of_beer_2008

Openings
The much awaited Sam James coffee bar should be opening it's doors tomorrow August 8th. With coffee by Toronto's most famous Barista (none other then Sam himself) and pastries by major Chef about Town J.P. Challet this place has created enough buzz to live up to it's main beverage.

Speaking of J.P. Challet, he's supposed to open a bistro across the street from Sam James, but the city has opposed his liquor license application: tinyurl.com/nn3aow
