Park on the Set of Chopped, Beer Fest and More

FOOD TV— Antonio Park has been in Toronto all week to shoot scenes for the next season of Chopped Canada. One of the first orders of business: catch up with old chef pals.

AWARDS SEASON— In a somewhat hazy address that runs over 2,700 words long, the co-founder of Vacay.ca confronts some of the debate over the website's recent list of the best restaurants in Canada: "When I'm in Montreal this summer, [Dave] McMillan and I will have a Foie Gras Summit where we aim to determine how best to honour the nation's food scene. One thing I think he and I will agree on is a Lifetime Achievement Award that praises the likes of [Martin] Picard and [Michael] Stadtlander. I also have in mind a special and fitting honour for Picard that we'll keep under wraps for now." [Vacay.ca]
