On a nondescript corner on the Paris end of Wellington Street, the not-so-secret-anymore meals at The Gem have been warming the souls of the Collingwood massive nightly since last winter. Soon too, word willbe out about the equally enticing breakfast and lunch plates being served up in the comforting surrounds of the kitchenwares store across the street. Decked out in '60s formica tables and technicolour vinyl chairs, Chef's Edge is a diner in a knife shop boasting a satisfying menu, extensive kitchenware selection, and, most importantly, a naming pun that would make any self-respecting MX 'journalist' proud.
For the morning after the night before, thick slabs of french toast with maple syrup and bacon will absorb cheap booze like a sponge, while their lunchtime duck risotto could teach the Waiters Club how to cook and - at $12.50 - how to price too. If the good food and wall-to-wall knives are inspiring you to head home and get culinary, there's an endless range of stainless steel kitchen essentials on offer, from knives and utensils to saucepans and professional melon-baller sets, ensuring you'll never need use an amateur melon-baller set again.
