worldwide promotional vehicle 'ultimateSix' selected
Michael Stadtlander's 'Eigensinn Farm' as the number six entry in it's
Restaurant category. Stating "... In 1993, superstar chef Michael Stadtlander dropped out of the Toronto rat race, bought 100 acres of
Ontario wilderness, and opened one of the most unusual
establishments in North America, if not the world. Eigensinn Farm
serves eight diners a night, does not have a liquor licence (guests
are encouraged to bring their own) and does no marketing. Guests get
a nine-course meal devised by Stadtlander that day, made mostly with
organic ingredients grown by the chef himself or sourced from
neighbouring farms. Diners book months in advance and fly in from
all over the world." |
| Other
categories featured in the 'ultimateSix' promotion include
Hotels, Vineyard, Recreation, Technology and Architecture. |
| The only
other Canadian entry in the 'ultimateSix' is the world's only
log-cabin hotel, the Gatineau Region's Chateau Montebello. |
