Food Porn: the Brick Works Picnic shows off the local harvest

It’s harvest time, and that means the Picnic at the Brick Works is close at hand. In only its third year, this annual celebration supporting the sustainable-food movement has become one of Toronto’s favourite food events, largely due to the contributions of big-name restaurants (Langdon Hall, Canoe, Frank and Cowbell, to name but a few). This time around, participants will follow a “locally global” theme, paying homage to the city’s multicultural milieu while showcasing delicious partnerships between chefs and farmers. The event is not until Sunday, but in anticipation, we’ve prepared this tantalizing slide show from last year’s edition.

Picnic at the Brick Works, Oct. 4, noon–4. $110. 550 Bayview Ave., 416-596-1495, ext. 300, evergreen.ca/picnic.
