2008-03-25 18:40:00 This week's Eye Weekly features Toronto's top young chefs. One of the top four was even an R&B artist in his previous life. Eating in multicultural Toronto is very exciting and inspiring! Who are these hotties?1. Ted Corrado2. Scot Woods3. Roger Mookingand, Bonus:4. Eran Marom, whose words inspired me:??As someone who believes in God, I can say everything is from God ? everything I've passed just to get to this point and start this,? he says. He compares the challenge of cooking kosher to the formal constraints of a poet ? the restrictions force you into a type of creativity you might otherwise not approach. At some fundraisers with non-kosher chefs, he's found them fascinated with his cuisine and how his techniques can inspire them. ?You can't play around ? butter? You don't have it. It's not here... There are rules, but it's a system, and I like it. With any achievement, there needs to be a commitment.?? More About: Commitment , March
