Good day folks, from the Toronto and the GTA region. I have the pleasure of flying back for 10 days after an eight year absence and looking to immerse myself into some delicious food and putting money into your tourism accounts.
Currently where I live in Alberta, The multiculturalism is as colourful as a snowcapped mountain, which means my food choices are pretty bleak here, or they lack quality. (Egg rolls here are beer battered monstrosities and chow mein is cabbage and carrots)

So what I’m asking is this, recommendations for specific items to try from certain places. Will be travelling with my senior mother and will try and keep travel between the 404 and 400 respectively and the very north end of the 404 all the way down to lakeshore.

places on my list so far: Rosedales diner-duck fries and Asian pork ribs

Dante’s Pizza-steak pizza

Caplanskys-knish pocket/reubenesque airport location

Mandarin- buffet

No seafood, vegan or Indian food suggestions please

Jamaican ? Want to try oxtail, curry goat, and take home jerk pork and patties

Shawarma?

Korean BBQ?

Someplace that serves Special meats like gator, elk, boar

Happy Hour food recommendations in the area of the Zoo, ROM, Ripleys aquarium?

Comedy club? I know yuks, bad dog, comedy bar… any smaller ones or are these worth the trip from Newmarket?

Thank you all in advance for any suggestions you might have.
