As many of you know our first season of the Secret Pickle Supper Club was graciously hosted by Ryan Taylor at the Fair Trade Jewellery Company. (Thank you Ryan & Asaka, it was a fantastic ride!) But we’ve had to say goodbye, and we’ve been on the hunt for other venues to continue our group food adventure.
While we have been hunting, we’ve connected with some generous hosts who have invited us to join them in their space for a Secret Pickle. Never ones to turn down a great opportunity, we’ve decided to take them up on their offers, embrace the adventure and inspiration that each new venue brings, and announce the Season of the Traveling Pickle.
Each of the next Secret Pickle events will be touring Toronto’s open spaces. Some we’ll announce in advance, like February 12th’s event at Te Aro. Some we’ll be keeping quiet until tickets are purchased and we’ll share the venue only with the picklers joining us for that event. All will be fun food adventures into some cool spaces around Toronto. And you’ll still get the exciting food, great company and interesting conversation you’ve come to expect as part of the Secret Pickle.
Remember to sign up for the mailing list and watch your email for your invitations!
We’re excited about the themes and flavours that these new venues are inspiring and eager to see you all again. It has been way too long.
So put on your traveling shoes and let’s start the adventure.
Welcome back everyone! We’ve been on a long hiatus, rethinking what the future will look like and where we will be hosting future pickles.
Special thanks to Ryan Taylor for letting us crash for the first bunch of pickles. Fair Trade Jewelry Company is such an awesome space, and we were so happy to have held our events there. Ryan is a really awesome guy and remains a friend and collaborator on my future food-related happenings. But, as all things come to an end someday, Secret Pickle has set out to seek its’ fortune in the big city.
For the next pickle, we have a new home. We will be hosting our dinner at Te Aro, one of the best roasters and brewers of coffee in the GTA. And what a coincidence – its going to be a coffee theme. That right, each course has some wonderful stimulant in it, roasted by our hosts at Te Aro. Each course will have coffee rubbed, stuffed, infused, pureed, baked and dusted into various ingredients. This dinner will be February 12th, just in time for Valentines day!
Expect to see some meat, some mushrooms, and possibly some veggies of course. And wine – we will definitely have some wine. Oh and other alcohol. Oh and fish. Probably. Did I mention pastry?
Stay tuned for the official announcement. Don’t forget to join the mailing list, And Welcome Back!
Now that fall is in the air and people’s minds are turning to the harvest table groaning with warm comforting dishes, deep rich flavours and surrounded by friends, we wanted to give everyone an update on what’s happening with the Secret Pickle Supper Club
This will be a Secret Pickle like no other Secret Pickle so far. Because it’s all about beer!
Yes, you heard us right. We are doing a whole supper club menu inspired by Ontario beers!
Each beer is being hand-selected for you by Mirella Amato of Beerology.ca to showcase the interesting, seasonal and limited-edition offerings from a range of Ontario brewers.

Saturday May 29th, 2010, from 7-11pm Tickets are $95/person and includes dinner and beer pairings. (this event is affectionately hash tagged the #BeerPickle) And you are invited!
