Mexican and Central American immigrants settled here in the 1940-1960′s and they introduced the neighbourhood to authentic Mexican and Latin flavours. Nowadays the district has changed and The Mission has become one of the young, hot, hip, “hipster”, and happening food scenes in San Francisco.

The area consists of long time businesses and the market is full of iconic institutions selling meats, cheese, seafood, spices and produce. It would be a shame to visit Toronto and miss out on this since the city prides itself on diversity. Here is my self guided foodie tour of Kensington Market.

Arepas are still quite unknown outside of Latin America, but they are a staple in Colombia and Venezuela. There are many varieties of them, but these ones are modern Venezuelan. Chef and owner Luis Cordoba brings a quality arepa to Toronto and it is the most popular place to have them.

This Canadian version of the “Big Apple” has so much to offer. A born and raised Torontonian put it very nicely when he said “the people are the same, but what sets Toronto’s neighbourhood’s apart is the food”. Here is a small taste of what to expect from Follow Me Foodie to Toronto!
It is a Salvadoran family owned and operated food truck specializing in Salvadoran street food which is prepared and cooked by Mama Ana who is the heart of the business. She makes the corn tortillas by hand and from scratch just as she would at home. 100% gluten free menu.

The event featured over 80 wines, 6 cocktails and food from 14 Vancouver restaurants. We were all there for one reason which was to support BC’s hospitality industry and talent. So Follow Me Foodie to a recap of Dish ‘N Dazzle at The Fairmont Waterfront!

I’m a huge fan of exploring street food in every new place I visit. It tells me a lot about their food culture. To really get a taste of what a city has to offer, you have to go across the board and experience high and “low” end dining and everything in between. Follow Me Foodie to New York Street Food!

It specializes in Latin empanadas and they are hand made with grass fed meats, organic greens and quality ingredients. It offers traditional and modern fillings and the fact that they’re baked instead of fried make them a healthier choice.
