10 h. ago Chicken Caesar wraps making major comeback in Toronto and people are obsessed

Chicken Caesar wraps are having a real moment in Toronto right now, and the city's residents could not be more excited about it.I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I do pride myself on having a particularly adventurous palate. Whether it's slimy, briny, earthy, mushy, crunchy or spicy, I'll try it and, more often than not, can get behind it.With that said, there's something undeniably magical about the simple perfection of the almighty Chicken Caesar wrap that's kept it an immovable entry on my death row meal lineup for as long as I can remember.One small problem: for the longest time, the bastardized quasi-Italian delights were nearly impossible to find in the city. You'd think something so widely adored would be a staple on every menu from Scarborough to Etobicoke, but, as I learned while in the depths of some particularly severe cravings, that's just not the case.Maybe it's because they're 'kid food.' I don't care. I want Caes...

4 w. ago People in Toronto trying gatekeep grocery store that sells food for dirt cheap

One Toronto grocery store is making waves for its dirt-cheap prices, but some locals want to keep this hidden gem, hidden.It's no secret that groceries in Toronto (and much of the world, for that matter) are reaching all-time price highs, accelerated by the on-again-off-again threat of tariffs from the U.S. Government, but, despite it all, there are still some places where the city's residents can find food that's actually affordable.Well, affordable by 2025 standards, that is.While some good Samaritans are helping folks pinch their pennies by sharing affordable grocery guides or tips and tricks, others are taking to social media to share their go-to grocery stores that sell essentials for a fraction of what you might find at major chains.For one Toronto-based TikTok user, who goes by the username @faithwone, Chinatown's Kai Wei Supermarket is one such spot, as she recently took to the app to share the bountiful produce haul she scored for just $10.@faithwone br...
