Thirty in Twenty An Exhibition of Photography, Food, and Wine September 3-26, 2009 (with three special ticketed receptions for September 10, 17 and 24)

THE DEPARTMENT GALLERY MAINSPACE Proudly Presents:

THIRTY IN TWENTY, An Exhibition of Photography, Food, and Wine

In 1973, living in Canada but originally from Holland, Toni (then forty-six) and Ria Harting (then thirty), planned a three-week trip to renew an acquaintance with fabled French cuisine in the country itself.

With the assistance of the authoritative Guide Michelin Rouge, the couple made a list of ten fabulous three-star restaurants in the eastern half of the country.

Having no intention of spending precious money on hotels and accommodation, they rented

a Volkswagen camper with enough room to sleep.

Reservations for this gastronomical odyssey were made by phone and mail, and during twenty days in September of 1973 the couple experienced thirty stars of dining pleasure.

These stars shine to this day, preserved in photographs and collected memorabilia to be shown to the public for the first time.

This unique exhibition will feature three ticketed food and wine tastings. Food will be prepared

by some of Canada’s most talented chefs.

Dishes will be chosen from the menus offered at Maxim’s, Paul Bocuse, La Pyramide, and L’Oasis.

Tickets are $60 (plus GST $3) per event or $150 (plus GST $7.50) for all three events.
