...Harvard Club of Toronto chose to host the event downtown at the Jump Bar, which is a “Big bold American-style bistro, packing plenty of bravado: sky-high glass atrium ceilings, rich wood interiors and a killer New York style bar.” Irony aside, it was quite a nice venue. The entire area surrounding the bar had been reserved by the HCT, and Cindy Maxwell '92, MD '97, President of the HCT, warmly greeted everyone personally and handed out nametags in English and French...

...this is still Americanized Chinese food that's being translated to Mexicans. In 1993, Ruth's Chris Steak House franchisee Paul Fleming (his initials make up the P.F.) founded P.F. Chang's China Bistro in Scottsdale, Ariz., with the help of Chinese-American consultant Philip Chiang (Chang was derived from Chiang). An alternative to Chinese food-court fare and high-priced formal dining, Fleming's casual-dining chain of bistros soon became a comfortable, go-to place for happy hours, family outings and birthday dinners. You'll find many of them in unexpected places, like Alpharetta, Ga., and Rogers...

She ends up at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school and discovers, triumphantly, that she has talent for it. She's also very pleased to defy the expectations of the Cordon Bleu's snooty director (Joan Juliet Buck), who didn't believe an American housewife stood...

...market for decadent Western desserts, heart-shaped cookies, cayenne-pepper-espresso brownies and the like. But perhaps the most telling opening - in terms of the area's newfound cachet - is that of the Intercontinental West Lake, tel: (84-4) 6270 8888. The hotel has three smart restaurants - a French bistro, an Italian restaurant and one that serves Vietnamese-Chinese cuisine - as well as a bar set on its own island in the lake. Only the prices are hard to swallow...

...dauphinois. It may be the singing standard - the cast are fresh from the prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the London College of Music - that elevates dinner at Bel Canto from an evening meal to a night at the opera, but the food plays a mean second fiddle. Bistro classics include a beautifully caramelized shallot tatin and dill-rich salmon gravadlax, king prawn and black pearl scallop skewers, and hot chocolate fondant with violet ice cream. Still, the most delicious parts of the meal come with a side of virtuoso cadenzas...
