As an entity that defines ourselves as unearthing the city's best food, one dish at a time, it only made sense to compile a guide to some of the best, most iconic, integral, photogenic and delicious dishes in our city. Toronto has one too many restaurants to count and sometimes it's hard to nail down precisely what you want to eat next.
