I hope I have your attention! When I started this column last May (FFT01 – The first steps in our journey), I had a feeling we were missing some critical gastronomic element in Hamilton and Burlington.
Sure, there are some fine restaurants, talented chefs, great produce, well-stocked kitchen stores, and individuals passionate about food, amongst an almost-overwhelming presence of fast food outlets and chain restaurants serving undistinguished fare.
I’ve written in the past that the Oakville-to-Niagara area should merit attention at the national level, and in rankings such as the En Route guide to top restaurants (FFT 21 – Belgian Delights, Canadian Lists). I’ve also suggested that something bold might help put us on the map (FFT13 – High Flying Food).
