The Kingston food scene is fairly hopping. Chez Piggy, the town and gown favourite for so many years, has spawned offshoots that are going madly off in their own directions, too. Stev George is head chef and general manager for Pan Chancho, Chez Piggy's tiny, perfect bakery and
take-out food shop...
...He believes in fresh regional cuisine, cooking by what looks best that day and basing his menu on market availability, not recipes. Pan Chancho is reopening in the fall in an exotic new location...

...Stev George will still be there, but he's also involved in a new venture of his own--an Inn in Gananoque called Casa Bella, after his daughter. He plans to serve magnificent breakfasts and, in the future, to offer Saturday night dinners and even to open a fully fledged restaurant in the Inn.
