WE LOVE Big Boy's hotdogs, specifically the sausages, and go out of our way to grab one every time we're downtown. The stand is located near the Metro Toronto Convention Center and not hard to spot. We order the spicy Italian sausage. So many delicious toppings including hot peppers, honey mustard and MORE. I love how Big Boy's slices the sausage open and grills it's for nice char marks. 100% recommend you try this spot before a sports game or even if you're just looking to satisfy your sausage cravings. Significantly cheaper than other stalls and the Roger's Center too! Photo taken by @CheatEatsTO on Instagram

When I came to Toronto, friends brought me to different food festivals, and Night It Up! was the…read morelargest. They've hosted at Markham Civic Centre every year, but this time was at the newly constructed downtown Markham plaza. Loud music and a campground of tents attracted the crowd as I turned on the corner of the street. But what made it memorable was that strong irresistibly-overwhelming smell - a passionate love or a vehemently hate for stinky tofu. I bought it from the Smelly Tofu food truck - the only Hong Kong-style among the three vendors. I sat front stage watching live performances as I enjoyed this guilty pleasure of nauseating messy snack. Young singers from @thesingingschool showcased their remarkable skills - from "Love The Way You Lie" and "Hold My Hand" to even their original songs. A group of children as little as a few years old were dancing. I roamed the area finding carnival games like fish catching, spin-the-wheel, jumbo Jenga and more. And before leaving, I hunted for my last bite - there was corn on the cob, skewers, flatbreads, takoyaki, seafood pancakes, leek pie and more - I opted in for the beef pie instead. What an amazing night!

Location This event is now hosted on Enterprise, in the same…read moreplaza as Good Catch, Goodlife and the VIP cinemas. Parking (including underground) is quite limited there - so best to come carpooling or explore nearby parking. One good thing is that the organizer does have a designated parking area setup for people coming in. Setup There are multiple vendors - from food, drinks to small gifts, organizations and even non-profits to promote anything! There are also festivities and live performances based on a schedule - so make sure to grab a seat if you want to watch any of them. I usually come for the food - to see what's new and exciting and what is not out there in restaurants. Inflation over the years have risen a lot of prices - so it could range anywhere from $10 for a drink to $15-$20 for food. Quantity wise - depending on where you look - can vary. You may have to spend at least 1-2 dishes to feel full. It's a staple yearly event that happens in Markham - definitely do check it out - and you may little hidden surprises !

I was shopping around in Canadian Tire and decided to try a hot dog combo relying on previous…read morereview on Yelp (5 star). Right away I noticed that the employee doesn't look professional at all, customer service was ok. I didn't like the food as much because fries were burned, the bottom of the hot dog was wet and the sausage taste was weird. The price is good but to be honest I would rather pay extra $3 and go to McDonalds. Conclusion - if you are really hungry and there is nothing to eat - buy this food. Otherwise don't suggest.

Marianne's is THE BEST place to get hotdogs / street meat in the city!…read more Located right in front of Mount Sinai Hospital, this vendor's been here for years and is really an institution here on Hospital Row. And in the last couple of years, Marianne's expanded to feature a wider range of food - it's not just hotdogs, people! She offers baked potato and sweet potato, which you can order on their own OR for those who eat gluten-free: the potato is a GREAT option to swap in place of a bun. You can have any of the meats topping a potato! Marianne's is also in partnership with another Toronto institution, The Barberians Steakhouse, has produced sandwiches that use their spices and meats. Such as roast beef, pulled pork, and soups when in season! Featuring affordable wild game meats like: Bison, Elk, and Wild Boar. These are very tasty and perfect for those who want a little bit more sophistication. All these meats come from local Ontario farms! It's no wonder she's been featured in publications like The Toronto Star and Edible Toronto Magazine! If you get to meet Marianne herself - you'll find that she is the sweetest person and so, so, so passionate about what she does. She knows the people who live and work in the area. She advocates on behalf of food vendors like herself and is actively involved in working towards better policies in the city. Read more about her philosophy at peacetogetherforever.com

Marianne is hands down the best street vendor in the city. I just finished a two year stint of…read moreworking in Mount Sinai hospital, and despite eating there an average of probably three or four times a week, the selection never got tired. While it's easy to dismiss as just another street meat cart, Marianne is constantly updating her menu and trying out new items to make the menu as diverse as possible. Obviously there is a selection of hot dogs and sausages, then add wild meats, pulled pork, ribs, savory muffins, potatoes, soups, grilled peaches, etc. etc. All of which are delicious. Trust me. I've tried everything. In terms of price, I've had someone mention "You know the one up the street is cheaper right?" To which I responded, "Yeah." Marianne's is definitely worth the extra dollar or whatever slight difference it might be. Plus when Barbarian upped the cost of their meats, Marianne still offered good value by creating the Love Plate (consisting of a wild meat and jerk chicken with a baked potato for $6 or so) All around really amazing innovative stuff. Then the most important point of all - Marianne herself. She is possibly one of the nicest people I've met in the city who has a natural sense of warmth and familiarity the second that you meet her. Every transaction is very personal, and it's wonderful to see how she interacts with such a wide array of people be they doctors or patients or construction workers, homeless, children finishing school, Marianne constantly has good rapport with everyone. In a core area of the big city, I find it amazing how someone could create such a small town neighborhood feel - A la Mr. Rogers. Marianne is a huge proponent of community which you can see with her Peace Together Forever movement as well as her heavy involvement in the Street Food Vendors Association. All around amazing lady. Also should mention that everyone else she's brought on to work the stand are also extremely friendly and seem to cater the same attitude. Apologies if you bothered to read this whole thing and found it rambly, but I'm soon to be leaving the city, and I wanted to shed some light on one of my favorite spots, I'm definitely gonna miss it!
