Swiss chard and potato, hot plum with a cold ice cream topping, even a harvest medley of beets, turnips and squash. This is just a taste of what will be offered up at Toronto’s Soupstock 2012.

As the successor to last October’s Foodstock, this mega-culinary event will gather over 160 renowned Canadian chefs and restaurateurs in a fundraising event to rally against the proposed mega-quarry in southern Ontario.

“As restaurateurs we view food as culture. So when you are making a contribution to food culture, it’s very important to respond to where you are geographically,” chef Jamie Kennedy told CTV Toronto.
