• Where To Find Cannabis Fine Dining?
• Hosted by the cannabis lifestyle
  brand byMINISTRY, the Enlightened Dining Club is
  a super private, secret supper club that will run
  you anywhere from 100 to 150 dollars a ticket.
  With the intent of being more than just
  something that gets you high, this dinner is an
  elevated experience for those who enjoy cannabis
  for more than just the psychedelic effects. The
  last event, held on the 21st of January
  was heralded as The moveable feast for
  forward-thinkers. A 5-course dining experience
  created by Ted Corrado, artist Dahae Song and
  nVoid. and featured an immersive 5-course
  sensory exploration of our own philosophy in
  plant-forward cooking with food and art
  seamlessly intertwined to heighten your
  experience.

The first of its kind to be seen in Canada,
byMINISTRYs events boast design-led locations,
collaborations with local and international
chefs, artists and creators, and some damn
interesting table talk and feature the work of
byMINISTRY culinary director Ted Corrado, who
formerly worked at The Drake Hotel and the Royal
Ontario Museum kitchen as head chef. Corrado is
known for his cannabistronomy expertise and
joined byMINISTRY late last year to bring his
plant-forward food and drink to all byMINISTRY
spaces and events.  According to The GrowthOp,
for one of the most recent meals, Chef Corrado
chose to keep the cannabis dosage for the entire
meal under 10 mg. In an interview with the chef
post-event, he stated that the first two courses
had 5 mg of THC and the dessert, in an attempt to
balance things out, was high in CBD. I wanted the
guests to not only enjoy the night but walk out
feeling in control, he says.

Every dish has been designed to elevate the mind
and palette, with cannabis creatively woven into
each bite. An example of the menu can be found
here, on the DesignTO site.  To comply with
strict regulations set by Health Canada, the
dinners are set in a private, undisclosed
location, and only open to those who are 19 years
of age or older all attendees are required to
sign a waiver that outlines that no attendee
purchased cannabis on-site, but was rather just
purchasing the experience and services provided
by byMINISTRY.    This is not the only endeavour
put forth by byMINISTRY, who announced mid-2019
that they would be launching Consumption_Lounge,
an 8,000 square foot lounge that allows cannabis
enthusiasts everywhere to enjoy cannabis-infused,
plant-forward food, drinks, and products. This
project is just waiting on legislation to evolve
before fully opening currently, the The_Lab,
which is the first culinary school for
gastronomic exploration in cannabis-infused
cooking is open and managed by Chef Corrado.
