Good to know. I will have to try those places the next time I'm in Toronto and Vancouver. So far, I've only been to the Calgary places. I went to Charcut, after I saw Connie on the first season and I followed Xavier (season 2?) around to a few of the restaurants he worked at. He was probably my favourite.
I went to Cluck and Cleaver over the Christmas holidays to try it out, because that was the only way to go to Nicole's place, short of setting up a catered event. They were quite anxious to tell me the owner was on Top Chef Canada, but she wasn't there at the time. I don't live anywhere near there and you basically need to take it out, so it's not really worth it to go again. I would love to try an Italian restaurant that Nicole opened with her winnings.
