24 Hours Eating in TORONTO! St. Lawrence Market Tour, Peameal Bacon Sandwich, Poutine, Smoked Meat

[@uaeats]

Thank you Canadians for your support during this series! I never expected these vids would be so well-received. I had a great time in Toronto and really felt at home there, I'll definitely be back!

You missed Toronto's best food this time around, it's all about the ethnic food here, our Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Middle Eastern foods are all top notch. Make sure to remedy that next time.

And there’s an entire other building which is part of the market. Currently it’s in a temporary space, but right across the street is a brand new space that will be opened….eventually. This is NOT a tiny market! I’ve enjoyed this kid up until this video….with the “hands” issue and everything else. So my estimation of his savvy has definitely gone down.

​@@mikevans75So Mr UA , you've been told! LOL!

There are way better bagel shops in town too. If you go back you should ask for some suggestions.

[@jonsher7682]

You missed an entire floor of the market with many more food options -- one floor down from the main floor there are 38 vendors. Among the options downstairs: * The better sandwich place at the market, Uno Mustachio, which makes a killer breaded veal sandwich. * Eateries that sell Greek, Chinese, Ukranian, Latin American, Japanese and French meals. * Bakeries, a creperie, places that specializes in cavier or sushi, and several bakeries and desert places, as well as a coffee bar and juice bar. There's also a north building that is open this time a year on Sundays with about 20-25 vendors. Kettleman's is an Ottawa institution that branch out from its original location with more locations across that capital city plus in a few other cities like Toronto. As a native New Yorker myself who goes often to Montreal and now lives in Canada, there is no need to toast Montreal bagels so long as you select those that are still hot/warm out of the fire-burning -- which you should always do because they are their best when still hot warm with the best flavor, smells and texture. Always ask what just out of the oven and still warm.

[@dangalloway2263]

Bro first you complain about the affordable price of a sandwich that was literally the size of your face and then you get upset about non-gloved food handling? 😂 Just about every fancy kitchen you’ve ever ordered food from doesn’t require latex….just that hands be washed regularly and when necessary.

[@banychill]

I would eat at a place that chef prepared food with bare hands than one that wear gloves anytime. The number 1 rules in food handling is hand washing. People wear gloves often don't wash hands as often. Mainly because afterer touching all kinda surfaces and they are not aware of how dirty their hands are. Keep this in mind, gloves is not really necessary for food safety. It's more for protecting their hands ( and to make customers feel better). But again, different people have different comfort level. Also, my favorites form St Lawrence is a grill fish sandwich from Busters and a Protugal Tart from the place you got the peameal.

[@emac5738]

Thanks for coming and enjoying my country! Welcome back anytime!

[@kirkmanning6232]

There are no English muffins in England. There is no Canadian bacon in Canada! Peameal bacon is cured pork loin developed to preserve pork mainly in Ontario in world war 1. It was originally rolled in ground peameal, hence the name! I make my own here in Florida and it’s as good as any I’ve ever enjoyed!!

[@MsKleinlaut]

Recipe please!

[@ypw510]

I’ve been to Canada where Tim Horton’s had “Canadian back bacon” breakfast sandwiches.

[@virtualguthrie]

Your reaction to the guy using his bare hands was pretty strange. Chefs use their bare hands all the time and if they wash their hands and there’s nothing wrong with that. Gloves really aren’t that sanitary anyway unless they’re changed constantly. It’s only fairly recently with the younger generations that people started having this expectation that people handling food wear gloves. It’s pretty irrational as there’s nothing inherently unsafe about the practice. Most sushi chefs don’t wear gloves and the food they serve you is uncooked.

[@jeffk3746]

It actually blew my mind. Not using gloves is food handling 101. UA is a food reviewer that doesn’t know this? Wonder if he’ll delete this video

Bro if you are worried about people touching your food with the bare hands dont eat out ever again xD It happens all the time. Also workers who frequently wash their hands often is much more sanitary than someone who wears gloves and uses them improperly. (Most people).

[@PimpSolja49]

EXACTLY. As long as the worker washed their hands before preparing food, it's totally fine. NO chef in a kitchen wears gloves while prepping/cooking food.

Also on Spadina north where you stayed ( old Chinatown) is a very casual but diverse market Kensington and the food there ( street style ) is cheap and wonderful. TY for your positivity.

Great timing, as I'll be visiting Toronto this week. My first time was two years ago and I loved it. I'm originally a New Yorker, and Toronto felt both new and familiar in all the right ways. I didn't explore as much food as I'd have liked, so your suggestions here will be really helpful. I think you've probably gotten the message about your bare hands reaction, so I won't pile on about that. :) Hope you'll do more Toronto visits.

There's a downstairs to the St. Lawrence Market. Good Italian sandwich place down there. The North Market (Farmer's Market) across from the St. Lawrence will open soon on weekends and possibly weekdays as well. You need to go to Church St. for all the Halloween festivities and costume parade in Toronto.

[@markmortimer9155]

UA I'm a big fan of the channel, but you dropped a bollock or two on this video. 1. You kind of helped a perception of Americans with your 'they celebrate Halloween in Canada too not just America' fun fact it's celebrated all over the world and to blow your mind more it's also on the 31st of October. 2. When you went to Paddingtons and seemed "blind" sided by the big sign that said cash only. Then in again what can only be the deemed as the most American thing an American can do, was to ask if they accept US dollars? They did of course at a 20% charge (they will face a fee when transferring the money back to Canadian dollars). However first off why would you not have local currency in your wallet just in case? Other than airports if you asked that question in the UK you'd pretty much be greeted with a no. I felt in my opinion it was insulting to ask that question. 3. The no gloves thing. I've read a lot of the comments and I can see why it's annoyed people with how you handled it. It goes without saying that anyone touching food will be expected yo regularly wash their hands. Your decision not to eat the food was based on your flight home the next day and not wanting to get ill due to the food being handled with bare hands. Have you ever asked someone handling your food with gloves to see the box to check what products are in said gloves that could also maybe have an impact to your health? I'm with a lot of people that this video was infuriating on so many levels. Just my opinion and will be back for the next one. Have a nice weekend.

[@The2ndFirst]

Right there with you. I was on his side until this one.

[@patrickwong4824]

Bravo, for your comments you cover most of what is wrong with this video.

A million people have probably commented the same thing, but you should know that in most people use gloves improperly and as long as employees keep washing their hands it is way more hygienic than gloves! You really missed out on the food man! The health code is that single use gloves are alright, but not necessary if you have properly washed your hands!

Peameal sandwich is not a breakfast sandwich, I went for lunch a few years ago long lines.. Smoked meat is the best!! Nobody used to wear gloves...

[@The2ndFirst]

OMG! Nobody wore gloves. How did society not perish?

[@vincepitts9221]

UA thanks for coming to Toronto you are the man! A lot of the best foods are located in the outskirts of the city. You can check out North America's largest Chinese Mall in Markham called Pacific Mall with a really cool food court. Markham has hands down the best Chinese food in Ontario. Scarborough is another incredible area for food better prices too and has very unique foods you might have never seen before.

The guy who made your breakfast sandwich put it together with his bare hands but you ate that.

[@demst046]

I commented this before I saw your written commentary admitting as much in the video but my point still stands. If you are that concerned about food being prepared with bare hands you probably can’t eat out.

[@The2ndFirst]

Literally. He's ok with that.

[@bostonboucher7778]

You should visit Calgary Alberta, That's where I live and it's really nice. Winters are really cold though lol. Great video

[@akiblue]

La Boucherie is owned by family friends of mine. Best beef in the market, by far! So happy to see you in Toronto.

[@matthewd2630]

Love that you came to Toronto! Hope you come back again. Next time try the lobster tower at fisherman Lobster Clubhouse north of the city

[@uaeats]

I'll definitely be back! Allergic to shellfish unfortunately so no lobster clubhouses for me

[@matthewd2630]

@uaeats great! I know you didn't come to Toronto eat Asian food but I will say most of my friends from NYC come to Toronto specifically to eat Chinese food in Markham and Richmond Hill because they say it's better than NYC. Next time give it a try!

Gloves actually carry more germs because people overuse them and don’t wash them. Bare hands in the kitchen aren’t my issue-it’s when people are touching their phones, face, nose, or other unhygienic things. That’s when I call it out and complain.

[@uaeats]

You are absolutely right. Gloves are not this super clean invincibility shield. But usually at these fast casual and takeout spots, when people assemble ready-to-eat food they put on a fresh pair of gloves. In NYC even tamale ladies selling food out of shopping carts do that. Agreed, if the gloves are already on who knows how long they've been on and that's not much better.

Just started following you. I’m from Toronto. Have you ever had the famous Veal Sandwich in Toronto. Place is called California Sandwiches. On Clinton st in little Italy. Best veal sandwich for over 50 years. My favorite is Veal sandwich with the works. Cheese hot peppers and onions. Mouthwatering. If you haven’t been there then next time perhaps. You won’t be disappointed

[@ChamP10nk1ng]

😂🤣 naturally, i cried laughing when UA said he wasn't going to eat the Poutine. The way he said it was hilarious imo. #1. The pizza bagel looked awesome. #2. Canadian Bacon IS awesome. Hence, why i love Mc D's egg McMuffin.

[@stevenchow408]

Those squirrels are some happy critters.

[@williamc618]

Oh bro seems you missed the entire lower level and the awesome veal sandwich or equally awesome eggplant sandwich if you dont like veal. Or the loaded veal sandwich at california sandich on claremount street. Id check the steak at STOCk too Great videos thanks for visiting!

[@KOSMOinfinite]

You should come back to Toronto! There’s so much more to see and eat. Toronto is an interesting place because, honestly, a lot of the food here is mid-tier and underwhelming. The city doesn’t have many OG original foods either (peameal bacon sandwiches are one, but even then, they’re not as widespread here as something like pork rolls or pizza slices in the U.S.; it should be in every store here as a quick food option). There are lots of adopted foods here; which is fine. I’m surprised you didn’t check out Kensington Market! It’s right next to downtown and is a foodie mecca with tons of interesting options. It’s also a unique spot-there’s really nothing else like it in North America. Overall, Toronto definitely needs more than one visit. For example, Scarborough, an eastern borough, is a whole food adventure in itself. You can find literally any type of cuisine there, from just about any country, and there are hidden gems serving top-tier ethnic food. The suburbs north and northwest of the city also have amazing options, with heavy Latino, Spanish, South Asian, and East and SE Asian choices.

If you're drinking a really high-end coffee what you want to do is use skim milk this way you get the sweetness without overpowering the flavor of the coffee

[@gordonfoster6951]

Did you visit the lower level? There are more shops. The lobster roll at Buster's is amazing.

[@joeyt.]

On you next trip back give a place called 'California Sandwiches ' a go . Excellent Breaded Veal sandwiches served thick and on crusty fresh kaiser buns. You can order it Sweet Medium or hot, a very established Italien eatery chain in Toronto.

[@fatemehh]

About St.Lawrence being too small it has two storeys down the stairs is pretty interesting too.

[@michaelm.8278]

You went to the St. Lawrence Market and didn't get a veal/eggplant sandwich from Mustachio's? You missed out!!!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Harriet and I are big foodies, we have been to Toronto many times. Have always enjoyed the food there. However, we think that the bagels in Montreal are better, two places in particular Fairmount Bagel and St-Viateur Bagel and also the smoked meats , Schwartz Deli and Jarry Smoked Meat. But the diversity of food choices are far better in Toronto. Great Video! Your Thoughts ? All the best 👍👍 UA from Jim and Harriet Richmond, Va.

[@AK-pz7om]

15:39 dang that peameal sandwich looked like it was hitting 🤤🤤

[@konradmaerzluft985]

It’s totally fine he was using his bare hands. It doesn’t bother me. Just think of all the people shaking your hand. Besides if they did have something on their hands it’s just extra flavor.

[@tavishmcgregor6145]

Glad you enjoyed Toronto! I lived there for 7 years and it’s my favorite city. I wish you could have tried Parts & Labour by Matty Matheson before it closed. Great video.

[@smokedsalmon9991]

Hi UA! Nice video as always, wanna say a positive, glad you are giving some special coffee places a try, not sure if Jimmy's is a third wave/special coffee. Just wanna say though if do go to more specialty coffee places, really give drinking it black/American style first, most of those places you add milk yourself so for sure just give a sip plain and taste the flavor profiles. You will taste these textures that are explain as things like "Cherry" or "Almond" for example and you will feel the flavor profile it is very amazing, especially if a place explains their blend/beans as acidic or more bitter etc. Anyway if you give anymore a try in NYC or any other place you may be I recommended trying it black first! Also if a place is claiming to be very authentic to Italian espresso or at least claims to have their espresso game down for sure give a latte a try or cappuccino or even a shot of espresso a try, do not think it's gonna be like a chain place it will be well crafted at most small/small franchise coffee joints. Anyway enjoyed your video, I'm American with a Canadian-British grandma so it is nice to have some love towards Canada's food scene! Anyway gonna watch your cracker-barrel video now 😄 !
