Toronto

In 1833, my great great grandfather John Moule had a small imported goods store in York, Canada on King Street at the corner of Bay.  At that time, York (now Toronto) had a population of about 9,000.  I do not know what John's store looked like then.  The population of Toronto now is 2.7 million and John's store location is occupied by a 27 story high skyscraper seen in the above photo.

Katherine and her two sisters had their annual reunion in Toronto at the end of June.  We had a particularly good meal at George on Queen Street a short walk from the city center.  It was worth the Walk!  The food was outstanding and that's saying a lot since we had just arrived from a week of dining in Paris, France.  We had the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing.  Hands down, this was the most brilliant and exciting wine pairing we have ever experienced.  All in all I would say that George is comparable to and equal to Eleven Madison Park in New York City and one of the best five restaurants in North America.
