  • Collaborating with Dillon’s Distillery and local small businesses to create an outdoor holiday market. Firepits, food, cocktails, local makers; a family-fun and community driven outdoor event to celebrate the holiday season.

  • In 2019, we were honoured to host some of the World’s 50 Best chefs and judges. We created a “chefs night” in which we highlighted some of our favourite Ontario producers and invited them to the table along with the chefs and judges, a form of humble “breaking bread” dinner that included some of our go-to after work late-night eats, served family-style, encouraging guests to be playful and have fun with their food.

  • Our first popup as Ricky+Olivia took place at Chez Nous Wine Bar and has been our go-to popup venue time after time . Never the same menu, all snack bar style, showcasing local ingredients while taking inspiration from and celebrating the cultural food diversity that is Toronto.

  • We hosted our first outdoor popup event at Wychwood Barns. Cooking with a wood burning oven and collaborating with some amazing local producers, it was definitely a memorable evening. Featuring Top Shelf Distillers, Great Lakes Brewery, Bespoke Butchers, 100km Foods, Planet Shrimp, King Cole Duck and Ontarieau, we filled pumpkins with ginger congee, braised beef neck over an open fire, grilled mountains of Ontario shrimp and served platters of smoked duck shawarma.
