  1. > At Schwartz’s, Fernando says, they marinate the meat for 10 days and then smoke it for up to eight hours. At SumiLicious, he likes to marinate and smoke the brisket even longer to bump up the flavour.

    > It also helped that SumiLicious serves Halal-certified meat and dishes out Fernando’s version of one of the world’s best comfort foods. “I didn’t expect the poutine to be so popular,” he says.

    Huh, ate there just a few days ago before all the Michelin business. Their smoked meat is excellent and authentic, hope they don’t experience many issues with the probable increased volume with being awarded the bib!

    The poutine is absolutely delicious too

    This is what makes Toronto special – a Sri Lankan family opening up a smoked meat deli in Scarborough that is thriving. Amazing!

    I’ve eaten at sumilicious since they opened and I love it. Not sure that its Michelin award worthy though?

  7. Food was good, just wish they would lay the bread in the same direction on a sandwich.

    I have no idea why they insist on putting the slices perpendicular, instead of parallel.
