Peterson meets with the owners and their children in this episode to learn about the establishment's history and the tale behind its name.

When plant-based restaurants first descended upon Toronto in the late ’90s, they primarily catered to a niche, healthy audience. Planta founder Steven Salm quietly revolutionized vegetarian and vegan food in the city by making it appealing to staunch carnivores. David Lee, co-founder and executive chef, worked in numerous Michelin-starred restaurants before applying his culinary know-how to the diverse menu, often eliciting counterintuitive praise for how “meaty” dishes taste.

Peterson focuses on the Caribbean aspect of the street fair, particularly the strong presence of many good Jamaican restaurants and street food offerings, like jerk chicken and stewed oxtail.

I’ve tried tons of Toronto food apps over the years, and today I’ll be talking about the best ones for ordering takeout and delivery.

There’s lots of great pizza in the city, but we’d wager most of it isn’t served with the raucous live entertainment regularly on the docket at The Black Pearl.

The prices are reasonable, with most dishes costing between $10 and $18. Overall, Jerk King is a great spot for anyone looking to try authentic Caribbean cuisine in the heart of the city.

I can’t deny that their app and system is very clean and good, but I personally think they do a lot of shady things that I’ll explain in the cons section.

Her three-tiered, frosted cakes are also wonders. The Pistachio and Olive Oil Birthday Cake is like a childhood confetti slice given a glow-up, while an entire summer romance is encapsulated in the Vanilla Sorrel and Raspberry Cake: a towering vanilla sponge cake offering bright mouthfuls of tangy sorrel buttercream, along with a tasty tango of vanilla pastry cream and raspberry coulis.

A philosophy of fearless consumption — with a requisite touch of dark humor — runs as a through line in the work of Beast click here co-owners and chefs Scott Vivian and Nathan Middleton. Over the years, their restaurant has undergone several reinventions. The current version of Beast acts primarily as a pizza joint, but it also offers group bookings for whole-animal dinners (booked in advance). Diners select a protein and an “adventure level” from low to high, and the chefs get to work showcasing the seasonal bounty of Canada and the versatility of underused “ugly” bits in a zany culinary display.
