# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Indigenous Food Lab by Chef Taylor Parker
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The Depanneur is proud to host the Indigenous Food Lab, a monthly residency with Chef Taylor Parker. It is designed as space to consider the possibilities of an elevated, communal dining experience rooted in First Nations traditions. It is a laboratory to explore and experiment with a Canadian concept of terroir – the flavour of a place — and help rediscover and redefine what Indigenous food means today.

Chef Taylor’s sophisticated tasting menus celebrate local and foraged ingredients, and a deep connection to First Nations foodways, to our land and our shared heritage. Each meal showcases a range of wild ingredients native to Ontario. Weather, timing, season, and the caprice of Mother Nature will determine exactly what will be shared with us. Whatever comes to the table, you can be assured that it will be crafted with remarkable skill and creativity of a veteran chef.

We live in the largest city in Canada, one of the most ethnically and culinarily diverse cities in the world. One can find almost any dish from almost any cuisine, with one glaring, egregious exception: the country we actually live in. Indigenous food is criminally underrepresented in Toronto’s food scene, without a single Indigenous-owned restaurant for people to patronize. More than ever before, Canada needs to embrace and celebrate its indigenous culinary heritage, and I believe the long path towards reconciliation can and should start at the table.
