Spring Growth<br />

Spreading the <strong>Eatdrink</strong> Message<br />

By CHRIS McDONELL<br />

The sun is shining today and I see<br />

shoots pushing out of the earth in<br />

the gardens, so Spring<br />

really has arrived. I’m<br />

delighted, and excited, because<br />

at <strong>Eatdrink</strong> we have been eagerly<br />

anticipating this season through a<br />

long and intense winter, and I’m not<br />

a winter-hater. It’s just that we have<br />

some big changes afoot, and the<br />

time has come to talk about them.<br />

This issue, the largest <strong>Eatdrink</strong> in<br />

Serving<br />

Kitchener,<br />

Waterloo,<br />

Cambridge,<br />

quite some time, focuses on “outdoor<br />

eating and drinking.” I like the mix of<br />

articles, touching upon so many facets of the<br />

stories to tell is not one of them.<br />

We’re happy to share some extra<br />

ones this issue.<br />

Bryan Lavery took on the<br />

challenge of compiling the “Patio<br />

Roundup” for us again this year,<br />

and a daunting job it is. Listing<br />

every destination worthy of a visit<br />

is impossible, but these highlights<br />

have me eager to get into the great<br />

outdoors ... in a comfy seat with<br />

cold drink in hand.<br />
