Edulis Restaurant

This week marks a major milestone for Beast Restaurant - their 10 year anniversary.

Scott and I met about 14 years ago working in the kitchen at JK Wine Bar. Since then we have watched each other open restaurants, travelled together, gotten matching tattoos (of an anchovy, of course) eaten together at countless unforgettable and life changing meals, made drunken plans to change to world (or fly to Chicago for dinner), run to catch planes (on several occasions) after finishing busy services at each of our restaurants, consumed so many delicious things and probably thousands of bottles of wine...

Scott is one of the nicest, most thoughtful, kindest people in the business. Someone I treasure to have in my life as a friend, a confidante, family.

Endlessly creative, always so positive about life and being a chef, incredibly supportive of fellow chefs, encouraging collaboration and sharing ideas, always up for adventure/travel/eating crazy things in far away places. Just the most fun ever.

Opening a restaurant and surviving - THRIVING - in this tough industry for 10 years is an incredible accomplishment, requiring tenacity, relentless devotion, hard work, sacrifice, and skill. Scott has all that and more.

Scotty pants, congratulations on 10 years of being one of the best in the biz - so proud of everything you have and continue to accomplish. So proud of the great chef you are and the amazing business you have built and nurtured to become a beloved Toronto institution. Michael and I are so grateful to have you in our lives.

You have great things ahead of you (👶!!!) - and I look forward to many hundreds more shared meals and adventures. Onwards and upwards ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
