Confederation Centre ╳ Donuts

My favourite posts on the Confederation Centre of the Arts blog (RSS) are the Faces of the Centre ones, each of which highlights the people at the heart of the operation. They’re light and breezy posts, pleasantly free from “animating Canada’s national conversation” rhetoric.

Today’s face was Jill McRae, the Confederation Centre Art Gallery’s Conservation and Display Technician, who revealed:

A fun fact about the Gallery team is that they keep tabs on Ada’s featured donut flavours. They have been known to take 11 a.m. donut breaks so they do not lose the best options to the lunch rush. 

Ada is Ada, the culinary studio on Kent Street run by Chef Adam Loo. The reference stuck in my head, and so when I needed lunch downtown today, that’s where I headed.

I had a tasty vegetable-on-focaccia sandwich, and learned more about the vaunted donuts.

• There’s a new flavour every week.
• They make about 100 a day.
• They sell-out fast, starting at 11:00 a.m.
• They recommend you pre-order donuts on their website.

Challenge accepted.

Chef Adam, by the way, has just released a book, Let Rise, which is available at Bookmark.
