$10,000 bottle of Cognac. Anyone? Anyone?
Oh yes! It is on the menu at for the who's who of Hollywood at TOCA, Tom Brodi's restaurant at the Ritz Carlton Toronto. A bottle of Louis XIII to be exact - just incase you are thirsty.
TIFF is officially here friends! The buzz and energy in this city is palpable. Can you feel it?
At 5 p.m. Thursday, the luxury hotel hosted the TIFF kick-off, a pre-party to tonight's opening Gala: From the Sky Down featuring the legendary Irish rock band U2.
This is the Ritz Toronto's first TIFF so no expense is being spared. Staff is working around the clock to meet the need and desire of each celeb. (One bartender told me he is working a 22-hour shift today!)
The buffet menu tonight will consist of local Ontario ingredients, sustainable seafood and for dessert chocolate pops - which I had the opportunity to try - chocolate, bitter lime, passion fruit and candy pop rocks! Oh yes, a zap of deliciousness!
I'll be live from the red carpet for E-Talk at the festival red carpet. We'll be streamed LIVE on CP24.com and it will also air in the bell TIFF lightbox, on King Street, at all the TIFF lounges, and theaters before the films begin.
I'll also be tweeting live from the carpet (@farahnasser)
Let the games begin!
