(milk) fed

Everyone’s favourite Toronto food critique has left his restaurant reviewing post at the Toronto Star for a new column, Fed, in which he invites people into his house and cooks for them. His first entry came out yesterday and he shared dinner with Canadian indie darling, Sarah Polley. It turns out the two of them were high school sweethearts who moved in together after growing up in a small suburban town.

The appeal of Mintz’s column is the tone he captures in his writing; he is funny and sharp as a tack. Fed manages to capture the intimacy of making and sharing food with someone you love. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy, I might as well just skip work this afternoon and see Where the Wild Things Are.

On a semi-related note, I’m going to Mintz’s favourite restaurant in Toronto tonight. Review to follow in the coming week.
