Giving some love to an underrated Midtown deli - Zelden’s at Yonge & St. Clair does housemade deli meat (sliced in house) sandwiches w/ coleslaw & pickle for $14.29 (dine-in or take out)

Thought I’d share as sandwiches seem to be popular these days and these guys have been doing it for 30+ yrs in an unpretentious, warm setting but aren’t great at social media.

Big Japanese Store in North York - Any idea what it's called?

I read about it here last year and now I can't find it. I think it's in a brown / red bricked building.

Szechuan Legend Closed Down

Szechuan Legend on Hwy 7 was one of my absolute favourite restaurants - a place that lived up to its “legendary” namesake. It broke my heart to discover that it had closed (and already been replaced) when I drove up there the other weekend. I ate here a few dozen times over the past decade, and I’m genuinely feeling a sense of loss with it closed.

This is a long shot, but does anyone know if the owner/chef has moved on to a different restaurant? I really need to enjoy their cooking once again.

Feel free to also share your memories. For me, the best order was the whole tilapia in chili sauce, the fried green beans and pork, the hot and sour potato, and their crispy beef.

Unique Must-Eat's when visiting Toronto

Hey all,

I was prompted to ask here for any food related with Toronto. We will be doing a roadtrip from NYC to Toronto with a couple of friends, all of us are European living in the US etc etc. What eateries/food would you say would represent ( in a good way ) Toronto?

Thank you in advance

Recs Near Scotiabank Theatre?

Heading down to the movies tonight and looking for somewhere that honestly prioritizes amazing food over anything - preferably a close walk/drive from the theatre.

Budget: Ideally less that $100 per person, none of us drink so just money for food.

Edit: for 3 people

Best wings (& boneless wings) downtown

Ok you guys, this is serious. My go-to wing place just closed and i can’t find another spot that even comes close. Needs to have great wings and boneless wings. Bonus point if they have a wide range of sauce options. Downtown only (I know there are great places in the burbs, but that doesn’t help me!)

Suresh Doss Food Tour: Ghosted?

UPDATE

thanks for all the feedback people. Suresh reached out to me directly and offered a refund but so far nothing has materialized. Im still very troubled by a couple things 1) there is almost no chance I get a reply without bringing this into the public 2) I have felt pressured/bullied into deleting as he told me I was threatening his livelihood and media have reached out to him - not sure that’s my problem. No one has questioned the authenticity of the claims. 3) there’s a suspicious pattern of cancelling tours last second as well as others who have claimed to be stiffed by him in the past in other dealings. Smells very predatory - I doubt this kind of nonsense goes on with any industry friends 4) he tried to confirm my identity directly - why did he need to do that? You have a list of customers and you square it up with all of them.

This whole thing is incredibly upsetting and unfortunate I’m not the only one but hopefully everyone gets what they’re owed.

Original post

I booked a spot on a food tour to go eat at some local places with famed food writer Suresh Doss. After postponing the first date it’s been nearly a month and all correspondence has been completely ignored, and he has not reached out regarding either a make up date or refund. Given the very high price of this tour ($350) and Suresh’s reputation as a Toronto food legend I’m shocked and disappointed. Anyone else in the same boat? Is this how these normally work?

Help with a salad dressing from Summerhill Market

Hoping someone knows what I’m talking about here.

There used to be (maybe still is) a salad Summerhill market sold called the “Bibb Salad”. It was Boston lettuce I think as well as tomatoes and pine nuts. Anyway what I really liked about it was the dressing - it was dark green, kind of oily, seemed a bit like pesto.

Would anyone happen to know what dressing it is? Or know of a similar basil/pesto type salad dressing?

Thanks!!

Chocolate dipped strawberries in Toronto other than Edible Arrangements?

Anyone know of a physical store for some good chocolate-dipped strawberries?

I've googled the usual chocolatiers.. Purdy's, Lindt, Läderach, Ladurée.. Godiva closed down years ago. The only one seems to be Edible Arrangements near Dundas?

Looking for it as a birthday present for a friend. Thanks in advance!
