54 | May/June 2019 it was like a box of happiness, and the name stuck. 430 Wellington St., 519-204-2854 Edo Peljhi of Garlic’s of London is this year’s recipient of the Fanshawe College Tourism, Hospitality and Culinary Arts award for Industry Supporter of the Year. There is tremendous demand for trained hospitality professionals across the globe, and Fanshawe’s programs provide a solid foundation to set participants on a career path that could take them anywhere in the world. “Elles sont Food, and You?” is open to women chefs, sous-chefs, pastry chefs, cooks and food entrepreneurs, living in Ontario and involved in the gastronomy scene. The culinary competition is an event organized by the Consulate General of France in Toronto, in partnership with the Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Management, Ryerson University. The goal for the participants is to showcase the culinary culture of Ontario and/or France by creating the best cocktail party possible. For this, they will have to rely not only on the specificity of French culinary culture but also on the diversity and richness of Ontario cuisine with the objective of showcasing the best local Canadian and/or French ingredients.ellessontfoodandyou.ca eatdrink.ca |@eatdrinkmag The 2019 Hospitality Awards Gala, presented by the Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association›s London Region, will take place at the London Convention Centre on June 17. londonhospitalityawards.com 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!

They are open Thursday and Friday 11-4pm and Saturdays 10am-2pm. A selection of small pastries and cupcakes are available to purchase for walk-in clients. One of London’s well-kept secrets, the bakery is located upstairs at 145 Wortley Road. bakeshopstudio.com From Pottage to Pinperneau: The Eldon House Cookbooks. This exhibit will display and interpret several historical cookbooks in the museum’s collection and elaborate on the origins, uses and terminology of these wonderful examples of social history.
