Food doesn't just reflect a city's history; it helps create it. Every meal tells a story about the people who arrived, the communities they built, and the traditions they carried with them.Join historian, writer, and educator Dr. Laura M. Carlson as she explores Toronto's rich history through the lens of food. From the neighbourhoods that shaped the city's identity to the culinary traditions that continue to define it, she'll speak to how food offers a unique window into Toronto's past—and the people who made it what it is today.Drawing on history, storytelling, and cultural research, Laura will uncover the hidden stories behind Toronto's diverse culinary landscape, showing how immigration, community, and local traditions have transformed the city over generations.Doors open 7pm, Lecture starts 730pmAgenda?: 07:00 PM - 07:30 PMArrive, Mingle, Sip?: 07:30 PM - 08:15 PMLecture?: 08:15 PM - 09:00 PMGroup Discussion / Q&A - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/ideas-after-hours-at-book-bar-a-sip-and-scholar-event/100001995968840532 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Book Bar - **lat**: 43.6640677 - **long**: -79.4123686 - **full address**: Book Bar, 600 Markham Street, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ideas After Hours at Book Bar - A Sip and Scholar Event - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/b471bb13b8d4c5e8dec95346b6787ed5c419af16cef8d664e8c9f11852588777-rimg-w1080-h1350-dc681808-gmir.jpg?v=1786466610 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ideas After Hours at Book Bar - A Sip and Scholar Event being held? - **A:** Ideas After Hours at Book Bar - A Sip and Scholar Event takes place on Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Book Bar, 600 Markham Street, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ideas After Hours at Book Bar - A Sip and Scholar Event? - **A:** Ideas After Hours at Book Bar - A Sip and Scholar Event is organized by Sip and Scholar. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
