Bonnie & Clyde Craft Services Cater Stolen Palates

When a P.A. job that was craft service heavy uncovered a talent for fresher snacks and baked goods and delicious meals, on-set actor, Tom Pearson, took notice and reacting to the obvious positive responses cast and crew had to the array of prepared foods that were made being received, while witnessing on hands the difference it made in moral to cast and crew who are often served up uninspired dishes fraught with mediocrity, he decided to team up with said Food Wizzardess ( Shelley Nadeau-Harrison) and form Bonnie & Clyde Craft Services and Catering. TP, having spent years previously in hospitality and catering, and whom penned Tom's Top 10 lists in a CoverStory newspaper column called Local flavour among other industry related media he produces, thought it a great idea to take that home-style food and cater to the tv and film industry. The response to the cuisine has since been exceptional. See "Quiet on the set!" 

Bonnie's famous deelish Butter Chicken

Although flavour and heartiness are # 1 for Bonnie & Clyde, they are also keenly aware of the need for healthier dishes and sides, and so you can always expect a rounded out " square meal" with some healthy sides. 

Vegan Specialty Dish

On Set Cuisine

B&C prefers to prepare at their own choice from their selection, based on past popular choices, to give the best service and freshest seasonal offerings as possible. This method not only saves the client time from deciding which sides on which day and allows the pros to add what they believe goes with each dish and with a variety to please both health conscious and taste/ hearty conscious cast and crew members. Just like you trust the Director in their job to capture the right shot, B&C too prefers you trust they will too. The method saves costs and allows for freshest fair and a better value to the customer. We will be happy to go over your menu in detail however.

Roasted Beet Salad

The bottom line is people like the food and its delivered and kept hot or cold until consumed, a service B&C prides themselves in.

We want to give the best service possible and know that productions don't need any more noise or distractions. By delivering on that with great tasting hearty food, Bonnie & Clyde is stealing palates!

Home or Event Catering

When Covid  stopped dead the industry, it also hit B&C who then had to adjust on the fly.. Even upon start up, it was a cautious time with productions expecting everyting to be individually wrapped and packaged. It was at the point B&C began to also look at home and event catering and they have not looked back!

Born To Be Blue & Regression to hit screens

Main St Newmarket, Ontario, Canada - movies location

 Born to be Blue is a feature film bio pic coming out in theatres this week that tells the story of a jazz legend, Chet Baker, during a certain period of his life in his forties. The lead role, played by Ethan Hawke, nearly never came to be, yet seemed destined to always. Explanation....

The only reason Hawke took / was offered the role is because it was convenient for Director Robert Budreau to drop off a copy of the script at the hotel to read while he was staying in Toronto filming the Alejandro Amenabar horror film, Regression, in Newmarket, Ontario which open in theatres next month as well, and then pop by on occasion to meet at the bar and discuss his vision on the role / movie while Hawke was missing his family, and between being on set. Geez Canada has paid off well for this Ethan Hawke lad.

The ironic part, and reason for my earlier, "yet seemed destined to always", statement refers to the fact that earlier in his career Hawke had been involved in his own production for a Chet Baker film with Richard Licklater but the film about the legend jazz/blues player, which took place at another time period in the performers life, never got off the ground. So this role has actually been 12 years in the making for him.

Well you never know, maybe York Region will prove yet another set location for the next music legend bio-pic or Tommy Boy scene, what with Newmarket becoming Main Street USA of late, and even the winter blues can be dispelled at Aurora's Winter Blues Festival this weekend!

Beatle's Art Unveiling - # Pop 69 Release Party and Info

As the date grew closer, I began unravel a strategic plan in my mind for my possible upcoming presentation at the Pop 69 Party and rare artwork display and the unveiling of the world's sole replica of the only piece of art ever collaborated upon by all 4 Beatles. This  once-in-a-lifetime happening, shows off the only authorized physical copy of artwork created by all four Beatles - with the original having been given to The Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. The party is to be hosted upstairs at the Hard Rock Café Toronto Doors open at 9pm, till late on September 10th 2013.

The soiree is also acting as an introduction of sorts to a film in development shown here in this film trailer about the Toronto Rock N Roll Revival show in 1969 which featured John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band and marked the first time any Beatle had played publicly without his mates. One week later The Beatles would be no more!

So it is with great excitement that I look forward to the opportunity to address and introduce, City Vibe Contracting, one of event sponsor businesses which will be donating the Yoko era-like food fare for the event. Not only do I relish an opportunity to rally people around a great company like C.V.C. - which in addition to renovating and construction are heavily invested in disaster relief - and for 15 years has been there to turn to when disasters strike, such as the recent Toronto's floods the worst in recent memory which affected thousands - but I also get to, in a way, be a part of Beatle's history as well as this art and film will themselves be lending a hand in opening a new Beatles chapter with this very unique walk down memory, er, Penny Lane!

Well, as someone in crisis or The Beatles might say, Help! I need somebody!  Thank goodness we have experts in such relief - Help! not just a-a-any bo-ody!- including trauma support trained and experienced - when such occasions arrive, and as such it was an easy way to sedge-way the group into The Beatles! A band whose message of peace and help unto others stands the test of time - like their music - and resonates with the theme and spirit of City Vibe and I'm sure will with countless fans as well.

The Beatles made Peace and Love household words

Recently in fact, Sir Paul Mcartney, donated 1,000 tickets for his show to train disaster and fire victims relief victims in Quebec, moving Caroline Tremblay who's husband, Guy Bolduc, was among the dozens killed when fireballs from an exploding train devastated Lac-Megantic’s downtown and engulfed the bar where he was performing to say,

“He adored Mr. McCartney,” She said in a letter to promoters, “You have allowed my children and me to discover the musical universe of this great artist and (a chance to) bathe in music at a party surrounded by our friends."

So The Beatles and who and what they represent live on, and that kind of spirit and image is a representation that fits well with the City Vibe brand.

The Movie

POP 69 
Johnny Brower, the legendary promoter of Toronto's Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival of 1969, has announced pre-production on Pop 69, a biographical, cinematic journey with Brower as a young entrepreneur wracked with ambition. A dreamer, who refused to give up even when passed a message John Lennon would not be attending, and in the end, making history for Canada.

Did the Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival  break up The Beatles?

Maybe I'll come as Elvis...The Beatles loved him

TP's final word...

None of my past musically connected contributions have ever been this unique. There is no doubt this art unveiling and subsequent film release will be a part of history and those who are lucky enough to attend or sponsor will be too. My 19 year old daughter recently remarked to me that The Beatles were easily the best band of all time. That's coming from a completely new generation of fans- and one that knows everything no less. Sound familiar? Ha. 

The Fab 4 has stood the test of time and now crossed generational boundaries and with it the demographic markets, opening a whole new can of worms and reaps to those who had the oomph to step on-board and make it happen again! Pop 69's success will be bound only by it's distribution and here's hoping towards a wide release!. Stay tuned ....!Coming soon to a screen near you!

Here's a spoof video of Sir Paul and John I'd recently thrown together in commemoration of the new Royal! Ha! Enjoy!

Tom out!
