Good Food for Good - Eat 2 Feed TO - Fabulous Faith


On May 1st 2015, Fabulous Faith had the pleasure of attending the socially good dining series, Eat 2 Feed T.O. hosted by Good Food for Good; a Toronto based social enterprise dedicated to making a difference one meal at a time.





You arrive to Historic Montgomery`s Inn in old Etobicoke and enter into a large dining room with marvelous millwork and a large wood burning fireplace.  A stunning large grand piano is off to one side where a beautiful woman sits playing soft music.  You are taken to your seat to find Neal Brothers Pink Himalayan kettle chips and immediately offered your choice of chilled local Southbrook Wines.  It is easy to start up conversations with your neighbour as chatting about this good cause and the benefits to the community, the awesome food or the beautiful intimate environment.

The food is fusion, 3 courses of Mexican / Indian / Canadian awesomeness.  As this takes place in Toronto, our diverse backgrounds and love of healthy choices are well suited to the options of chicken or vegan.  So the ambiance is set, great people out to support a great cause, a beautiful intimate atmosphere and now of course the lovely menu.

The first course options were Oaxaca Arbol Mexican Sliders (Vegan) or Endive Chicken Tacos.  Both plates featured three large bites of dramatic spice and texture, exciting your palate while stimulating your senses.  The salad course was adorned with fresh berries and sunflower seeds offering a sweet break to your palate. 


Then along came the main, first for the meat eaters; Uber tender Chicken Tikka Skewers with curried coconut basmati rice sauced to be with a light coriander-mint aioli and spicy Vindaloo roasted squash was by far the highlight of the night.  The flavours of India filled my mouth, I especially enjoyed the Vindaloo squash a sweet savoury revelation of aromas filled my mouth and paired perfectly with the Southbrook Rose.  The vegan option was an eye-catching Coconut Curry Quinoa Bowl topped with sweet potato, cauliflower, chick peas and served with a side of Tikka Masala potatoes.  For the vegan guests this menu was especially thoughtful as vegan food can be rather bland and uninspired.



Finally :) there was dessert!  The Historic Syllabub and original dessert from the Officer`s Kitchen was executed perfectly.  The cream, wine and lemons a frothy mousse that coated your tongue and cleansed away the exotic flavours of the evening leaving your mouth refreshed and ready to enjoy the rest of your Friday evening.



Don`t let me forget the best part!  All profits are donated to Food Share to help deliver healthy food and food education in Toronto!  A dinner out for a great cause!


So now that you are ready to go… The next dates are July 3rd, September 4th and November 6th 2015!
