This past Friday, Torontoist took a sweet trip back in time via a quietly spectacular photography exhibit called "Thirty in Twenty: An Exhibition of Photography, Food, and Wine." These evocative and romantic black-and-white photos were taken with a tiny 35mm camera back in 1973 when then newly married Toni and Ria Harting embarked on a life-changing adventure to eat their way through ten three-star Michelin restaurants in just twenty days. Friday being the opening reception, we not only enjoyed the lovely images, but had the pleasure of meeting the Hartings and hearing their stories first-hand.
