Recipes for Possibility is a labour of love for the chef set, according to organizer Yannick Bigourdan, co-proprietor of Splendido Restaurant. "The restaurant business is one that's very involved in the community, so what better cause for these men and women to support than Bloorview, which does such amazing work to make our society more inclusive?" said Mr. Bigourdan.
"Bloorview Kids Rehab has always counted on the generosity of community leaders to enrich our world-class medical care and research for kids with disabilities. Toronto's top restaurants are giving the public a new and exciting way to support our kids and to have some fun at the same time," said Valerie McMurtry, President & CEO of Bloorview Kids Rehab Foundation.
