Ivy Knight, Writer/Journalist

Writer & Journalist Ivy Knight talks about pivoting from 10 years in restaurant kitchens to writing, her realization that the pressure had turned her into a ‘dickless man’ and a ‘rage machine,’ the wonderful mentorship of James Chatto, her role in the documentary “The Heat: A Kitchen [R]evolution,” getting published in The New Yorker, enjoying her neighbourhood’s transition from 'Crackdale' to Parkdale, her distaste for Mayor John Tory but love for memes, and THREE awesome hidden gems in Toronto's dining scene...who needs Michelin when you’ve got Ivy?!

TORONTO LEGENDS is hosted by Andrew Applebaum.
