From a sandwich shop specializing in bacon to a street festival where you can feast on Jamaican food to the oldest pho restaurant in Toronto, each point on this map indicates a stop on Peterson's whirlwind tour.
She remains a stalwart fixture for her plentiful portions of West Indian favorites, including goat and oxtail curries swaddled in flaky paratha rotis, pillowy curry channa doubles, and spirited jerk chicken.
Rachel Adjei is a Ghanaian Canadian chef and food justice advocate who celebrates much of the underrepresented African diaspora in Toronto. She founded the Abibiman Project to support Black food sovereignty initiatives via a range of pantry products, pop-up dinners, and catering — all in the here hopes of challenging people’s perceptions of African foods and the narratives surrounding them. At her staple pop-up location at the Grapefruit Moon in the Annex, her ever-evolving dinner menus offer deep-dives into specific African regions, which Adjei contextualizes with information about the corresponding culture.

Brockton Village If you’re really looking to fill up for cheap, Pho Linh is the place to go. Humongous XL bowls of their legendary beef rice noodle soup are around $8.50.
