I recently attended Broad Appetite – an amazing event by the way; if you haven’t gone make a point to go next year – and I had the pleasure of sampling some of Blow Toad’s yummy fish which the restaurant is named for.
FYI: Blow toad, the fish, is actually not an actual four-legged amphibian, but a puffer fish. A Northern Puffer to be exact.
I’d been meaning to see what was up with Carytown’s...
