Something for the Inside Crowd here as a new location for Cibo opens at the site of the former Centro and its brief successor at the 2472 Yonge Street address. There are many dazzling pictures and a learner’s guide to the Cibo lineage at the link Those who have savoured Ocean Drive in South Beach (stone crab alert!) will remember Cibo’s there. Such fun. Here in Toronto the first of the Cibos is at 522 King St West and for those who know it, this article says the menu is much the same at the new location. Post City

At time of posting, Canada sits at the top of the leader board with 22 gold medals — which is 10 more than the Americans, who are sitting in second place. It seems though that every time we post an update with the medal count, within minutes our story is inaccurate as we continue to haul in more hardware! Reports say that our athletes’ successes on home turf have prompted a surge in last minute ticket sales — or perhaps the surge in ticket sales and louder cheers from the Canadian fans have motivated our athletes. Either way, the Bulldog says, #GOCANADA. Global CBC

Officials are looking for the source of the mineral oil. Photo via Twitter by CP24
