Suzanne Barr is one of Toronto's praised chefs for her culinary creativity and passion for the industry.  Born in Toronto and raised in Plantation, Florida, Suzanne later returned to Canada as a chef, opening her first restaurant Kithen Dinette, followed by Kid Chocolate with her husband.   After closing both restaurants, she went on to pursue other projects including a chef-in-residence stint at the Gladstone Hotel and in 2022, she released her first book, "My Ackee Tree: A Chef's Memoir of Finding Home in the Kitchen," which is a wonderful collection of stories outlining her journey through life and in the kitchen.      

In this episode, Suzanne shares about her relationship with her body, culture & food. We laugh and cry through a lot of tender moments around her experiences with her mother's death, caretaking for her in the last year of her life, and honoring her mother through her work as a chef. Join us for this beautiful conversation as we discuss cooking to create connection, honoring our past with our gifts, and the full circle experience from death to finding gratitude for the messiness & beauty of life. You don't want to miss it.  We dive into: Experiencing food & body shame in her youth - and her journey to healing these wounds Her inspiration, exploration & work as a chef Caretaking for her mother on her death bed & experiencing a lack of closure Her powerful connection with her mother and their beautiful sacred tea ritual Suzanne's love letter to her mom through food And more Suzanne Barr has become one of the most respected and beloved chefs for her flair for fresh comfort food and also her passion for the local community, food security, and advocacy. Chef Suzanne's career as a chef, author, social activist, and culinary mentor is inspired by both her mother and father, two novice chefs, who instilled a lifelong passion to cherish the role that food plays in both nourishing the body as well as the soul. Chef Suzanne's expansive culinary career includes her role as the inaugural Chef-In-Residence at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, Canada, owner of the former Saturday Dinette, and head chef and owner of True True diner, a diner concept that paid homage to the sites of many civil rights sit-ins and the history of the diner in breaking down segregation. What is most impressive, however, is Suzanne's relentless advocacy for food security, marginalized communities, mental health, pay equity, nutrition literacy, and food source sustainability. Her truest form of self-expression is empowering and mentoring other women chefs. Earlier this year, Suzanne published My Ackee Tree, A Chef's Memoir of Finding Home in the Kitchen, which takes readers on a personal journey of food, family, soul-searching, self-discovery, and even motherhood that leads Suzanne home...in the kitchen closer to her Jamaican heritage. Suzanne's food philosophy is simple: to create nutritious, flavorful, and comforting foods made with local, accessible ingredients.

Derreck Roemer and Face2Face host David Peck talk about his new film Come Clean, about addiction and mental health, recovery and misconceptions, statistics and stigma, friendship, healing, codependency and why recovery and community are connected.TrailerWatch it on TVO, TVO.org, YouTube and TVO streaming channels.Synopsis:Come Clean is a close look at what fuels addiction, as well as the herculean effort and hope recovery demands. Six million Canadians will meet the criteria for addiction in our lifetimes. COVID-19 has intensified the problem. Opioid-related deaths surged 25% in Ontario in the first few months of the pandemic and continue to be at a crisis point.“The reality of addiction seriously impacts individuals, families and communities across Ontario,” says John Ferri, VP of Programming and Content at TVO. “With unflinching honesty, Come Clean shares the real struggle of overcoming addictions through deeply personal journeys—stories that most Ontarians will relate to.”Written and directed by Derreck Roemer and Neil Graham of Insurgent Projects (Last Call at the Gladstone Hotel, The Lost Highway), TVO Original Come Clean begins on New Year's Eve in the southwestern Ontario farming community of Thamesville, home to Westover Treatment Centre. Cameras roll as the dozen addicts in group 1313 embark on 19 days of in-treatment counselling. With intimate and unfettered access, the filmmakers embedded round-the-clock at Westover, living alongside the program participants. Post-treatment, filming followed select subjects' stories for 18 months to experience their realities and see who among them could break the habits that landed them in rehab.About Derreck:Toronto-based filmmaking duo Derreck Roemer and Neil Graham have worked together for over 20 years, producing and directing everything from shorts to feature-length documentaries. In late 2000, the pair began work on Last Call at the Gladstone Hotel, a film that premiered to critical acclaim and sold-out screenings at the Hot Docs International Documentary Festival, then played festivals worldwide before television broadcasts in Canada and elsewhere. The film garnered Roemer and Graham a Gemini Award for best direction in a documentary series, as part of TVO's documentary anthology The View From Here. In 2009, Graham and Roemer formed Insurgent Projects, and in 2014 released the Canadian Screen Award best-doc-nominee The Lost Highway. In 2018, TVO commissioned Roemer and Graham to create Come Clean.Image Copyright and Credit: Derreck Roemer and TVO.F2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck and Face2Face.

In this time of Covid-19 and social isolation, it’s a chance to have a brief look into the kitchens of writers, musicians, chefs, artists and health-care superstars.

The first time I met Arden Wray was at another Dear Seeker Claudia Dey's book launch in the Gladstone Hotel. Although our exchange that night was brief, I had a strong drive to reach out to have a deeper conversation with her I knew OF Arden before that first encounter. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Arden's work, she is a Toronto-based Photographer who specializes in portraits. She has been commissioned by some of the most cherished publications, like The New York Times, British Vogue, while been hired by many indie fashion labels to bring their visions to life. Her photos have this magical power to connect you with the subject who you inherently may have nothing in common with. Travelling between Toronto and New York, Arden is using her lens to mostly capture two things she is most inspired by- people and places. The stories she is trying to tell are lingering among the past, the present and the future, and she is always practice the art of storytelling and looking closely.Photography: Vai Yu LawListen and leave us a review on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, or Soundcloud.

Grow Op 2019 installation at the Gladstone. The Mycelium Shrine; Primordia was created. An immersive environment where visitors could listen to the Mycelium and commune with it. April 17-21st at the Gladstone Hotel, Toronto Room 206 Primordia won the GrowOp Jury Award! For Grow Op: ENERGY I created an immersive underground environment. Visitors could enter the world of Mycelium and interact with it sonically. Over a two month period, I formed and grew a large-scale mycelium sculpture during my residency at MoCA Toronto. The living mycelium sculpture served as the centrepiece within the installation. The walls within the space were covered with black scrim, for the floor we brought in 8, 25-litre bags of topsoil. I sprayed the topsoil with hydrogen peroxide and diatomaceous earth to keep the possibility of fungus flies to a minimum. Fibre optic lighting was hung from the ceiling to represent mycelium growth and networks. A pedestal was placed within this space for the living Mycelium sculpture to stand upon. Once on the pedestal, the sculpture stood approximately 7′. 6 sets of electrodes were placed upon the Mycelium sculpture to read its bio-data and translate that information to MIDI which in-turn powered 3 analogue synthesizers. Copper electrode pads were placed on the top of the pedestal running into the mycelium. Visitors could place their hands on the copper and have their bio-data translated to MIDI along with the Mycelium. Visitors started referring to the installation as a Shrine to Mycelium. Entering the room visitors were first introduced to mycelium’s ability to bio-remediate toxins from the environment. Jars containing Ganoderma lucidum with aniline dye and PVC, Pleurotus ostreatus and motor oil were on display. Within less than 2 days the Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushrooms) completely absorbed the motor oil and started thriving off of the hydro-carbons.

So often as performers we look at our careers as if it is in someone else hands. Waiting to book the job, to be validated, to receive a glowing review to help raise our profile in the industry. Theatre Artist Ryan G. Hinds is joining the conversation on Cue To Cue today and he is busting a few myths and addressing mindset gaps that performers, including himself, can fall into from time to time. When Ryan said these four words, “ My career. My terms.” I was waiting for confetti to fall from the ceiling, music to start playing, and Bob Barker to appear saying, “Tell him what he has won, Rod!”  Ryan hits the nail on the head. It is our responsibility as artists to get out there and create. Stop waiting for the phone to ring. Get educated on what you need to know about this business, the craft, so as to not be taken advantage of and get going! I was inspired by Ryan and I know you will be too! In this episode: How to avoid becoming all consumed by the biz Why having a mentorship The questions Chita Rivera asked him that helped him shaped the way he looked at his career How his one-man Cabaret grew from a one-time performance to in internationally toured Cabaret. Why you MUST learn to not take things personally in this business! How to be humble without it getting in the way of allowing yourself to shine! A little about Ryan: Ryan G. Hinds is a Toronto-based theatre artist: actor, singer, dancer, writer, director, producer, curator. Currently, he is an Associate Artist at lemonTree Creations and an Artscape Launchpad Ambassador.
