If I recall, Toronto is one of the best cities in the world to learn
cooking in (I had some of the hottest wings I've ever eaten there, at
the now-defunct Acme Bar & Grill, as well as eating some very, very good
Chinese).
Of course, that was probably about 50 years after you were cooking
anywhere in the vicinity...
