Street Food: The Ex! (aka CNE aka The Exhibition)

THE EX!!!

Everyone has wonderful memories of the Exhibition, starting from childhood, into your teens, and finally with your next generation. Nothing is more unforgettable as the food you eat there. Here is a quick rundown of the essentials I had while there
Corn Dog





Location: Midway Superdogs
Price: $6.00 CDN, jumbo
Taste: I am so happy this year they brought back the use of the footlong to make the jumbo corndogs, not just two regular hotdogs strung on head to tail. The midway makes the best tasting corndogs with the most cornmeal in the batter.

Toronto Food Festivals

If you are in Toronto, hope you did not miss out on the street festivals the last few weekends. Here's what you hopefully did not miss...

Street Food: Banh Mi


Street Food: Banh Mi

Location: Nguyen Huong, 320 Spadina Ave, Toronto, ON

Price: $1.50 CDN

Review: I was orginally going to start my street posts from the Taste of the Danforth, but the large unmoving crowd, swarming like locusts over grilled meats, made me ride the rocket and head over to chinatown to take a look at the Chinatown Festival. My first stop was to Nguyen Huong to pick up a spicy banh mi. Long gone are the days of the $1 banh mi in Toronto.
