Toronto’s Winterlicious Festival

A reminder: Don’t forget general reservations for Winterlicious start Monday, January 14, 2010 (American Express* Cardholders can go to the “Front of the Line” and make reservations today and tomorrow). If you’re still not convinced Winterlicious gives you the best value for gourmet dining, check out this sample menu from one of my favourite restaurants – Fred’s Not Here (321 King St. W).
