> As someone who has lived his entire life in Toronto and been a food reporter for a decade, I’ve been on a mission to highlight the places and people that don’t always get the spotlight but nonetheless propel the city’s dining scene by rethinking familiar dishes, carrying on decades-long family legacies, or simply combining complex flavours and textures in ways that make dining out exciting and memorable. > > What places would I personally consider to be Michelin-worthy? Well, a lot of restaurants I love and frequent probably wouldn’t belong in a guide for moneyed diners who are able to discern how a tasting menu in Paris compares to one in New York or Tokyo. But that’s not how most Torontonians (including me) eat anyway. Instead, I present this alternative: a guide to my long-time loves, from a 50-year-old burger spot to my parents-approved dim sum hall, plus newer spots doing innovative and exciting things. By no means is this a complete list (no dining scene can be summed up in 15 joints, but these places capture the range and energy of Toronto’s unique culinary landscape.

Complain about michelin star restuarants being too expensive… Proceeds to release a cheaper list locked behind a paywal.

Was able to access the article through Newsbank (a perk from my alma mater).
Unfortunately, either the text is screwed up/missing or there’s something wrong with the article because it’s missing the names of places while describing them. Here’s what I was able to glean:
Aoyama
Avling
Bong Lua
Curryish
Istar
Jerusalem
Johnny’s Hamburgers
Mineral
Momo House
Northern Smokes
Food Court with La Cubanita/El Sazon de Metapan/El Sabroson
Very Fair
Rachel Pellett and Heather Mee brunch spot
Unnamed Jamaican takeout spot
Family-run roti spot in North York and Markham
Edit: Checked the same article through another database and it’s the same – guess the author never learned about burying the lede.
