Do you enjoy trying new dishes from the wonderful variety of cuisines we have in Toronto? I know I do. If you’re like me, you’ll want to get yourself down to Eat to the Beat at Roy Thomson Hall on October 17, 2017 at 7 p.m. This signature fundraiser of the Canadian Cancer Society will feature more than 60 female chefs serving up savoury and sweet dishes, as well as wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages. Presented by KitchenAid, the event is now in its 22nd year. What a great way for foodies to raise funds for women with a breast cancer diagnosis!
Roy Thomson Hall’s lobby will be transformed into a foodie heaven. There will be 60 Toronto chefs and caterers set up in the outer lobby, serving special creations they have prepared for the evening.
