Shared Kitchen Dinner Series

In one year Cross Town Kitchens Held 6 dinners at 5 participating restaurants to raise money for The Stop. At each event, each restaurant provided a course in a five-course meal, with no restaurant doing the same course twice. The events were held at Perigee, Amuse-Bouche, C5, and Torito Tapas Bar.

The sixth dinner was held to commemorate the opening of  the Stop’s new Green Barn at the renovated historic Wychwood streetcarbarns. The dinner was held outside in the beautiful gardens of the Green Barn. The dinner was all prepared in the community kitchen, where the Stop holds classes and events to raise money for their community members.

This was a great campaign and allowed dinners to experience tasting menus from five restaurants at six different locations. It also allowed patrons to witness different chefs from different cultural backgrounds working together in harmony for a noble cause.

Through this series Cross Town Kitchens raised over $25,000 for The Stop Community Food Centre.

Together with Matchbox Garden and Seed Company, and many other volunteers and donors, Cross Town Kitchens organized an outdoor feast in support of the new farmers at Mcvean Farm. The event took place on October 5 2008 and over 400 people traveled from Toronto and surrounding areas to spend an afternoon on an historic farm on a beautiful piece of land managed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in the heart of Brampton. Here people enjoyed organic and sustainable food  and drink from Ontario prepared on-site by Cross Town Kitchen members.
