Ten dishes you missed at What’s on the Table (and where you can still find them)
On Wednesday night, 25 of the city’s top chefs and their fans gathered at the Daniel’s Spectrum for the 12th annual What’s on the Table—an all-you-can-eat fundraiser to fight hunger. Since 2005, the event has raised nearly $3 million for The Stop, whose community food centre churns out almost 60,000 nutritious meals every year for those in need. After the live auction (which saw two private dinners for 20 at The New Farm in Creemore go for $11,000 each) The Stop came away with $326,000 this year. Here, a closer look at 10 of the dishes that were served, and where you can find them around the city.
