There are also commercial,products available. I’m sure I’ve seen beets and butternut squash. But it saves 75% to do your own spiralizing. You can buy a device for about $10-25 on Amazon I think. Mine has the crank handle, but there are other styles.
Thanks, I have a spiralizer which came with my Cuisinart but haven't found a lot of use for it - so happy to see new ideas!

Carrots are good too. And hard (usually root) veggie works.

Not for me...either real pasta or nothing. But I would love to see you make bucatini out of a veggie.

Actually had real pasta tonight. Ordered takeout from a nearby Italian place. I started with pasta fagioli soup and had spaghetti with peppers and sausages. But if I’m cooking, it’s almost always spiral squash under the sauce.

Significant birthday celebration at Smyth a couple of weeks ago.

You don't know what you're served until it is served. They do ask for and accommodate most dietary restrictions. We were emailed the printed menu a few days after dinner.

My apologies for the all caps in the descriptions. I was not about to retype the entire menu, so I copied and pasted.

(when we sat down, we thought that this was a flower arrangement)


SEVERAL SERVINGS OF CHILLED SHELLFISH

The Savory Eclair

The Black Malt Macaron (the red liquid is a bullion with some pig blood in it, my dining companions receive a clear version, as they eat neither pork products nor blood)

Smyth is considerably more expensive than The Loyalist, but not quite as expensive as other restaurants of that caliber.

I found more details on the avocado dish on their Instagram page.

Agreed - I definitely saw the smyth price list. It’s cheaper than other tasting menus as is the wine pairing. Total bargain for this caliber of meal.

Jerk chicken maple smoked with my "signature" turmeric coconut rice. I'm quietly confident my signature rice could bring peace to the Middle East. I got to work on my jerk game though. The marinade was too mild. Rennovations are over so I'm loving being back on the coals.
