Toronto Food Lab is the culinary division of GPI. The parent company focuses on food technology and hydrocolloid research and development. Meanwhile, the focus of TFL is to simply create the best food using the ingredients and equipment available through GPI.
Toronto Food Lab is the place where chefs and bartenders can gather and experiment on their ideas using modern techniques. It’s not just an ordinary kitchen, most restaurants have that. It is a kitchen equipped with many of the modernist cuisine tools; A place to try crazy and outrageous ideas; A place where accidents are just as important as the original goals.
In essence, it is a playground for anyone with a passion for progressive cuisine, avante garde cocktails, and a hey-what-if and why-not attitude.
Chefs and mixologists are always welcome to come visit, play around, explore or develop their recipes.
You can also use the Food Lab as part of your mise en place.
