“Soup Soup a tasty soup soup a spicy carrot and coriander…”
The Mighty Boosh.
Hello Everyone,
On Sunday September
28th, 2014, I had the privilege of attending one of the greatest
events, Soupalicious. This event was the
BEST event I have attended thus far.
Soupalicious was created to help raise awareness for Grow a Row. It is a food-growing & sharing
program. Everyone comes together as a
community. They all share their talents
to make a great soup. With approximately
30 chefs on site, everyone got a chance to sip, slurp and savour their amazing
creations!!
It was an incredible day. I took my Dad with me to the event. He had a fantastic time. This event ladies and gentlemen is a great
event for families. I got the chance to
meet a mother and daughter team. LOL Karen
had approached me as I was sipping the amazing creation by Foodies on Foot. She
asked me where I got this amazing looking soup.
The cauliflower, Spinach and Chickpea Garam Masala with Papri was
INCREDIBLE. Chef Damian Harrington is a
gem. This magnificent chef works at
TOULA restaurant. OK, so, you must all
know that I LOVE TOULA’s. It was like my
angels brought me directly to Chef Damian.
Not only did Foodies on Foot give me some fantastic soup to take home in
my new pretty blue soup thermos, purchased on site, BUT Damian invited me back
to Toula’s. I’m coming for you
Damian. I’m Italian, I never refuse an
invite. LOL. I’ll see you at Toula’s. Recognition
also goes to Stephen from Foodies on Foot, he is a delight! What a great group.
So, again, I missed
one of Toronto’s mayoral candidates. LOL.
As soon as I left Olivia Chow made an appearance. I think my angels only
want me to eat the food, not talk politics. LOL. I have some smart angels. Hahaha.
I had some delicious
soups from No. 7 hot sauce, Cheesewerks, Leslieville Cheese Market and the
Daily Bread Food Bank-Catering Kitchen.
Cobs Bread and Pizza Del Arte were also giving out samples. Yes, I admit I had 2 pieces of the
pizza. Pizza Del Arte was a fantastic added
touch to this great event.
With tickets only
costing 22$ at the door, it is worth the 10 soup samples. If you can go to
this event in the future, DO IT!! Bring an empty tummy, a small bowl, and
seriously try as much soup as you can. SIP SLURP and SAVOUR!!!!
I would like to thank
Jim and Susan from Soupalicious for being gracious hosts. My dad and I had an
amazing day. I love my new thermos. I loved all the soup. Most of all, I loved the atmosphere. Artscape
Wychwood Barns was a great spot to hold this event. For further information,

Until next time boys
and girls, “remember to always just be yourself, it will eventually one day pay
off…” SEE YOU NEXT YEAR
SOUPALICIOUS!! I’m not going to miss
