2 h. ago Legendary bakery that's been open since the'70s put Toronto on the world map

A Toronto bakery has been family-run since the 1970s, earning it the well-deserved reputation as being, quite possibly, the city's most legendary.While bids have been made over the years for dishes like Shawarma or Jamaican Patties to be recognized as Toronto's signature dish, they've nonetheless faltered under the gravity of the city's official signature dish: the peameal bacon sandwich.Undeniably no-frills at its core, consisting of simply a hefty pile of peameal bacon (which, I might add, is a Toronto invention,) on a fluffy bun, there can be no arguing that the staple is, still, absolutely magical.It's kind of a metaphor for Toronto in that way, and no one runs the peameal bacon sandwich show in the city quite like St. Lawrence Market stalwart, Carousel Bakery.Owned and operated by the Biancolin family for nearly 50 years, the bakery has risen to a level of notoriety few others in Toronto have come close to, being featured everywhere from Anthony Bourdain's The Layover ...

In 1876, a mansard roof was added, and the front store addition was added in 1912.H.S. Strathy House in 1950.
