Ours to Discover: Norfolk County, A two-day escape in Ontario's Garden – WHEELS.ca

Dubbed Ontario’s Garden, Norfolk County is where, thanks to the area’s fertile, sandy loam soil, you’ll find a cornucopia of the incredible fruit and vegetables the province is able to grow. The region was once part of the tobacco belt, but many of the county’s farms have since transitioned to produce such as soybeans, ginseng, grapes and corn. Composed of communities including Simcoe and Port Dover, Norfolk County also boasts Long Point, a 40-kilometre stretch of land that is a UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve. Go for a two-day road trip to this region, and you may be so charmed by its rolling hills and natural beauty that you’ll want to call it home too.

The recent passing of a longtime dining favorite went unannounced in a proper obituary. Allow me to imagine how it might have opened:
Johnny’s Half Shell, the beloved Chesapeake-influenced seafood restaurant that was opened by James Beard award-winning chef Ann Cashion and business partner John Fulchino in Dupont Circle in 1999, relocated to Capitol Hill in 2006 and moved to Adams Morgan in 2016, served its last dinner March 14. Fulchino, who announced the restaurant’s permanent closure on Facebook on Oct. 30 by chance, Cashion’s birthday said the decision to shutter was based in part on the impracticality of operating the restaurant as he and his best friend conceived it. Sure, they could have sent seafood out in boxes, but as Cashion put it this month, “Johnny’s is an experience,” and she wasn’t inclined to deliver less than the “total package.”
