Sebastian Le Goff’s Cibo restaurant at Seymour and Smythe (right across from the Orpheum and Commodore) was given the top honour – best NEW Restaurant in Canada! www.cibotrattoria.com

It’s always a delight to visit with Sebastian, former Sommelier of the Year..He’s won with an Italian menu and not a Roman in sight!!

Niagara’s Anna Olson has just released her 6th cookbook – Fresh with Anna Olson! Since this is the first time she’s guested on the show, we had some catching up to do. Including exactly when and where she’s going to carry the Olympic Torch. www.annaolson.ca
