Canada: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario – Group of Seven Food
At the Heritage Discovery Center we were treated to a meal described in the journals of Group of Seven painters who created their art here about a hundred years ago.

Sometimes when you have a small plate table d’hote run of many dishes, you get hits and misses. Not at Embers Smokehouse and Grill in Sault Ste.
