Luminato announces lineup for 2012 edition of 1,000 Tastes of Toronto
On Friday, Luminato announced the full list of restaurants, vendors and food shops participating in its annual 1,000 Tastes of Toronto event, which moves back to the Distillery on June 9 and 10 after last year’s foray onto John Street. Notable among the list of attendees at the street food festival is Bent, the upcoming restaurant headed by Susur Lee’s sons Levi and Kai Bent-Lee (which is slated to open very soon). Other food programming at this year’s Luminato includes Rainer Prohaska’s Toronto Carretilla Initiative, a kind of participatory art installation that’s also a public feast, and a conversation between New Yorker writers Adam Gopnik and Calvin Trillin about Canadian cuisine, a subject both writers have experience waxing charmingly condescending about.

Better than last year on John Street, there were only about 15-20 vendors total last year. Very dissapointing as I bought $20 worth of food tickets before scouting out the vendors first and had a hard time finding Non-Seafood/Oyster items (allergies) to spend my money on.
And why is Poutini so popular when they use the most disgusting, half rotten potatoes to make their Poutine with? Every time I have had their poutine the fries used to make them are disgusting, and all they sell are fries and poutine! Why are the potatoes so old and gross?
I would suggest scouting out what is on offer first BEFORE buying your food tickets. Looks like a fairly good list though, but with those places being pretty High End TASTE is the right word as you are probably only getting bite sized morsels.
UMM, Journalism 101, how hard would it be to just tell me WHEN this thing is going to be in the article? Shouldn’t have to click on a bunch of links to find out this information.
Aren’t REPORTERS taught to REPORT any-more, you know the whole WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, and HOW stuff?
HungryDude: good point. We’ve added the date to the story.
