WinterCity, Winterlicious & Cajú Restaurant – Gastronomy in Toronto | Panorama 15 | PanTV
A mouth-watering edition recorded in Toronto – a city with cuisines from all over the globe. We check the opening ceremony of WinterCity and Winterlicious, talk to the Flaming Lotus Girls about their performance “Angel of the Apocalypse” at the event and visit the only restaurant with Brazilian-inspired cuisine participating on the festival in Toronto – Cajú. There, chef Mario Cassini teaches us some Brazilian-inspired recipes and we have the task to try them! First aired on Feb. 10 2010
(Passed 100000 views today – 01/11/2011!! Thanks!!) Constructed in July-August, 2008, it includes about 175 cinder blocks, 50 solid blocks, a few hundred 80 year old bricks (which came from my house foundation when it was rebuilt a few months prior) for the stack, Sandstone for the flat surface/shelf areas, river rock for the front vertical faces, black marble for the fireplace floor, and approx. 650 patio bricks with 8 bags of sand. The Patio edge is roughly 13 1/2 feet long each side which calculates to about 185 sq ft.. EDIT (May 2009): Just had to rebuild the underside of the fire box. The black marble floor that was exposed and had no support underneath, became brittle, cracked, and broke away over the last 9 months and had to be rebuilt with a solid block base under the new fire box floor. Not too difficult to fix, but was still an unexpected expense.

@modeyus1984 I Love this comment! Thank You!
Awesome job with the whole set up. I’ve been looking around to build one on a budget and something like this would be perfect.
As to all these people whining about Mexicans taking all the low paying jobs quit complaining. Nobody is stealing anything, if a white person really wanted to work he would. Just go out to a grapevine field. How many white people do you see picking grapes at 110 degree weather? One and that’s the owner of the fields. Lol. Guess what all those Mexicans busting there ass
@FlipsOverAt69 Actually, sarcasm aside, you’re right. There are THOUSANDS of young people with no work experiance who are AMERICANS who would love low level labor jobs but they can’t get work because some illegal beat them to it, and will work with no papers, no workman’s comp, no nothing. I was one of those kids, while MExican illegals were out making a TAX FREE 10 per hr, I was making 9 BEFORE taxes, getting shit hours, now I own my own business and hire ONLY LEGALS!
@felipegmunoz yup he is…….BIG time !!!
if you could find 3 non union white boys willing to work. the fire place look fantastic. viva la mexicanno
@FlipsOverAt69 you dumb ass
@FlipsOverAt69 Welp, I haven’t seen this kind of quality for the price I was given by him so.. No Regrets. :)
Wow, it is sad to see how those illegal Mexicans are stealing the white man’s job. A few white folks could easily be doing all that work and we wouldn’t have so many illegals steeling American job.
:) sarcasm intended.
@Videochest See my other videos.. I have several day and nighttime burns. Thanks!
Nice job on the outdoor fireplace. One comment though; the main thing I would’ve liked to see is the only thing you didn’t show, and that is some footage of a fire burning in the fireplace. How come no video of the fireplace in use? Otherwise, great job on the construction!
@backyardovenbuilder
Nice work and this next response has nothing to do with your video but is in the field of construction.
What is going on with this construction on Beaver Street just south of the train tracks?? They tore up the road, resurfaced it and they are tearing it up with jackhammers? Did they screw up with their calculations or is this a standard thing here in the USA? Once again nice work and keep inspiring others :)
@backyardovenbuilder Thanks!
looks great, nice har bone pattern.
@ascorpio09 Ha! Yeah, my wife is a comic sometimes..
I’ll look into that paint you mentioned and note your idea of beer and steak for a future vid!
Thanks!!
Nice work Richard Cat on the Barbie she said…..funny……they sell paint for the rock give it an even nicer look instead of just natural concrete look, but hey it looks awesome show us a vid with fire and u havin a beer and meat on the pit!!!! thanks for sharing!!!!!
@rvr2
Nice.. That seems the best way.. I see guys buying crushed rock then compacting it then pouring sand.. But I like your way better.. Im going to do the same, hit up a construction site for thier dirt.. Thanks for the reply!
@zentetsu32
Thanks! The sand may seep through the rock and may cause the bricks to become uneven over time..
I had some fill dirt brought in earlier that year (from a construction site-it was Free) since my property is on a hill so it needed leveled out first.. I actually have that on video as well – just never posted it on YouTube..
We spread a layer of sand and set the bricks on top of it tapping them down and then spread the sand with a push broom across the bricks filling in the cracks.
very nice.. I have a question.. I want to lay a patio like that do I have to grade first then dump broken rock and then sand? so many diffrent ways to do it on youtube I found but Im on a buddget and I see yours and it looks great!
@circderonim
It happens! Good Luck with yours!
damnit, you just inspired me so now i’m gonna have to build one too! looks great!!
@Set2STUN
Thanks!
Awesome work!
Not me, but the guy who built it for me (shown later in the video spreading the sand for the brick patio) is a concrete mason by trade from Mexico and built the entire thing and I was his ‘helper’ per se..
Thanks!
Are you a mason, or brick layer by trade? It is top notch work!
nice
