#FOOD: NUGATEAU UNVEILS NEW SPRING/SUMMER 2016 FLAVOURS
By George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
On the most recent episode of Masterchef Canada, Chef Michael Bonacini describes these treats as the latest in food trends. Éclairs. An oblong pastry made with choux dough, filled with a cream and topped with icing. Or what I called growing up in Montreal, a city renowned for its pastries, chocolate and cream, hot dogs.

#THEATRE: “ONE-MAN STAR WARS TRILOGY” STARRING CHARLES ROSS NOW PLAYS AT BLUMA APPEL THEATRE IN TORONTO
By George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Frenetic and hyper energetic, Canada’s own Charles Ross condenses the almost 12 hours of cinematic magic that is Star Wars episodes IV, V and VI into a 75 minute intermission-less marathon. ONE-MAN STAR WARS TRILOGY is definitely written for and caters to the geeks and nerds and the Sheldon Coopers of the world who can recite the movie verbatim. Many of those at the star-studded Toronto premiere I attended had responded with enthusiasm and gales of ...
