entrepreneurs, living in Ontario and involved in
the gastronomy scene. The culinary competition
is an event organized by the Consulate General

to showcase the culinary culture of Ontario and/or
France by creating the best cocktail party possible.

There are plenty of changes for brothers Gregg
and Justin Wolfe this spring. Originally, the Wolfe
brothers had planned to refigure the recently
closed Wolfe of Wortley space to build a new
pizzeria, but after finding the London Pride Fish
and Chips on Chester Street at Ridout vacant, they
altered their vision. They will now be opening the
pizzeria which they will call Through Thick and
Thin in the London Pride space. More recently, they
opened a smaller incarnation of The Early Bird —
their iconic downtown diner — known as the Little
Bird Café in the former Wolfe of Wortley space.
The brothers had already taken over the former
premises of the Village Harvest Bakery next door
and plan to expand and rebrand as The Wolfe Pack
Company Bar. The brothers also own and operate
Los Lobos — think modern Mexican flavours, with
innovative riffs and ideas with lots of cool Mexican
imagery and local references. London watches for
their next moves with great interest!
