Chef Michael Smith returned to Queen’s University on Wednesday, starting the day off at the where he sat down for breakfast with a group of contest winners from the Queen’s community.
Chef Smith, one of Canada’s best-known chefs and the inspiration behind the Mackintosh-Corry Hall eatery, signed copies of his book and talked about the menu items as well as the importance of eating healthy and his love for his home province Prince Edward Island.
Later at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Chef Smith offered up a lecture entitled “Our complex relationship with food. How did we get here?” that looked at the hidden reality of today’s food systems and how embracing the eating styles of our predecessors can dramatically improve our food lifestyle. The event, hosted by Queen’s Hospitality Services, drew a full crowd.
