Bent is my favourite restaurant for special occasions. I am a picky eater although I can certainly enjoy all types of food. I crave for the unexpected culinary experience and the most appealing part of Bent is that you never fully know what the things you order might taste like (obviously in a great way!). I ran into Susur Lee once during winterlicious and yes he was supervising his staffs and he did say hi to us. I like how frequently this place changes menu. What I can see in Bent is that deep apprenticeship roots in details and innovation comes from consistent refinement.
Well, this place isn't cheap. However, compared to plenty of fine dining options in Toronto, I still think my money was well-spent.
