no shark fin soup? they must have caved to the Ottawa Foodies boycott...*snicker*

yo yo maaaaaaa

Shark-fin soup was chef on the left's previous claim to fame. Damn u OFers...

Joking aside, there is no Ottawa Foodies boycott of shark fin soup. Any boycotts are personal and individual.

just playing warby...that should have read "Ottawa foodies boycott" or "boycott by foodies of Ottawa" ;)

monty Very funny-;) If you are referring to my comments it's just the soup being boycotted and just me as far as I know... (BTW I must admit your comment really was funny - one thumbs up from me!)

Ashley Thanks for posting the menu - looks like they had a lovely meal. And Maine lobster - mmmm!
