John Gundy’s photo exhibit is com­ing to a close this Monday and he’s giv­ing away three framed prints on clos­ing night. See below for details.

It is rare in today’s world to see some­one doing some­thing for free, but to see some­one do some­thing really really well, full time for free is outrageous.

John Gundy is that guy. He’s obsessed with pho­tog­ra­phy and he’s turned his skilled eye on Ontario’s food scene. Tirelessly snap­ping sweaty chefs, sauced som­me­liers and still life with swiss chard, John’s exhaus­tive cov­er­age is finally on display.

His pho­tos explore all aspects of the food scene, from the manic pace of a busy kitchen to the seren­ity of a vine­yard. He’s cap­tured all of our most lauded chefs, from Jamie Kennedy to Jonathan Gushue, in action with their teams slic­ing, sim­mer­ing and sautee­ing. This is an impor­tant show that exposes just how vibrant and vital our food scene is.
