This year the Shangri-La Hotel collaborated with some of Toronto’s top chefs to create a new culinary series called “Tase of the Six” events to embrace and celebrate Toronto’s vibrant food scene! Several chefs such as Matt Blondin, Frankie Solarik and Jed Smith all had one night to join together with Shangri-La’s executive culinary team.
