the city. The dinner features a uniquely tailored menu, chock full of 
high-end ingredients and the best cannabis that the city offers, this 
event has a confidential guest list and a hidden venue that is only 
available a few days before the event itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, 
we give you, cannabis fine dining.
 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, byMINISTRY’s 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. 
What’s next? The next series, kicking off in February will bring 
together the talents of Chef Corrado and Chef Matt Ravenscroft, 
known for his work at Toronto vegan-mainstay, Rosalinda. Toronto 
Tastemakers, if you’re interested, tickets can be purchased by 
signing up for the newsletter on the byMINISTRY site. Late 
February byMINISTRY is opening their green tea-oriented cafe on 
298 Markham Street in Toronto. Stay tuned for news on that front, 
we’re keeping a close eye on this trend, so check back on updates 
soon.

smoking, we have you covered.
