Peterson meets with the owners and their children in this episode to learn about the establishment's history and the tale behind its name.
To dine here is akin to making a religious pilgrimage: It takes patience, practice, and prayer. The once-“secretive” spot in the gentrifying “mechanical-industrial” strip of Geary Street is no longer under wraps. Swarms of people congregate and wait at least an hour outside before opening, a fact not lost on owner and chef Leandro Baldassarre (formerly of three-Michelin-starred Dal Pescatore). With a collected demeanor and without gimmicks, Baldassarre offers what’s considered the city’s best fresh pasta, along with rustic Southern Italian dishes.
What should I eat when I go to Toronto? Toronto is a foodie paradise with a diverse range of international cuisines, from haute cuisine to comfort food.

Don’t miss the steamed chicken momos, which are tender and tasty. Whether you’re a fan of international food or seeking a unique dining experience, it is a must-visit spot.

Chicken is a love language, and we’re head over heels for Gushi. It’s the best place in the city for Japanese fried chicken: golden-brown chunks of joy often marinated in soy, ginger and sake, and coated in potato starch.
It’s not always easy for vegans and vegetarians to dine out, but Udupi Palace’s menu is completely meat-free and offers flavour lovers bargains aplenty. The menu runs the gamut of curry, thali and uttapam (Indian pancakes), but the appetizers and savoury South Indian crepes are where you’ll get the best bang check here for your buck.
While chef and owner Eddie Yeung owns an additional Wonton Hut location in the suburbs of Markham, his newer locale in downtown Toronto arguably allows him to flex more. New to this location, his street eats menu (shrimp paste toast, deep-fried cuttlefish skewers, Hong Kong-style brick toast) honors the legacy of dai pai dongs, stalls that used to fill the labyrinthine alleyways of Hong Kong.
