I was recently invited to the media opening of Sliced at 650 Bay Street. The restaurant offers a wild variety of sandwiches, salads, in house spiced nuts (addictive) and sweet squares and pastries (also addictive). I arrived early as always and had a chance to take a few pictures of the interior before the crowds arrived. Mini versions of the restaurants sandwiches were passed around the room throughout the evening. I chit chatted with my favorite food writers whilst sipping on white wine and cucumber water.
