- Goose: it’s what’s for dinner. Toronto food writer Sarah Elton discusses the culinary and environmental implications of feasting on the ever-present bird over at the Atlantic.
- Also in dinner that’s lurking in our city environment: fish. Earlier this year we delved into Toronto’s urban fishing scene, and this week the Grid has a helpful culinary guide to the varieties that are available in local bodies of water.
- Dandyhorse gets us back on dry land with a look at attempts to unionize Toronto’s bike couriers.
- Neat things to do with cities: CAT scan them. Atlantic Cities looks at how we can use infrared cameras to assess temperature fluctuations in cityscapes—say, to measure whether a particular building is leaking heat and thus less efficient than it could be. Also, the pictures are pretty nifty.
