Toronto's Global Table

One of the best things about being a TV series food researcher in Toronto, is meeting the people behind some of the most glorious food from around the globe.


I work on a fascinating TV series that airs throughout the Greater Toronto Area called "Street Eats." As the show's researcher (I jokingly call myself the official "taster" and yes, I have had one unfortunate bout of food poisoning), my job entails investigating the cultures and foods of numerous countries that have a presence in Canada's largest city.

Given that we speak over 150 languages and dialects in our city's streets, Toronto is renown as one of the world's most multi-cultural cities. Intriguing folks from Jamaica to Japan call this city home, and it's my job to highlight some of the superb foods from these countries that Canadians (and visitors to Toronto) can enjoy. So sit back and let me take you on a virtual tour of some of the fabulous foods of the world found in my city's multi-national borders!
