    Top honors go out to Toronto's toast of the town. "Chef David Lee and his
business partners Yannick Bigourdan and Franco Prevedello have created a
restaurant that is both democratic and elite." "The kitchen relies on Asian
and latin flavours for its inspiration, filtering and refining them in the
process." "In restaurant lingo, the notation "NB" (for nota bene) next to a
reservation indicates that the party is to be treated with special care and
attention. Here the term applies to everyone."
