My fiancé has been RAVING about Big Boy's for years and literally tells everyone we meet who…read morementions Toronto. 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

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!

Location: 4105 Kingston Road, Toronto, Ontario - Guildwood GO Station…read more(Not sure why Yelp is showing a different address. Probably a good idea to check their Instagram before visiting, incase they move their food truck to the address listed on Yelp) Note: Their menu is different everyday. Menu is posted on their Instagram story (@thegoodeatsbyjulian) everyday morning before opening. We ordered every single item on the menu except for the "Ghetto Gospel". Oxtail Burger (4/5) - I believe this is the most popular item on their menu. I thought the oxtail was tender and the bun was soft. The plantain in the burger was a nice little surprise but I didn't really taste much of it because of the flavourful oxtail. Overall I enjoyed it. Fish Sandwich (4/5) - My mom loves seafood so I ordered this for her. She thought it was a very good sandwich, and their home made sauce was great. Jerk Pork + Festival (3.5/5) - Flavour was good, and the hot sauce definitely gives you a kick which was nice. Unfortunately, it was a bit dry for my liking. Keep in mind, I did eat it ~15 mins after getting it since I had to drive home, so that may be the reason. The festival was nothing special but it is not overly sweet and my family enjoyed it. BBQ Fried Chicken + Festival (2.5/5) - I thought this was pretty good value considering the 3 large pieces of chicken. Overall, the sauce was not my favourite and it essentially overpowered any taste of the fried chicken. Coleslaw (2/5) - There was Coleslaw in both the burgers and the sandwich, and it was also included in the "Jerk Pork + Festival" and "BBQ Fried Chicken + Festival". Not a fan just because I prefer more creamy coleslaw. Experience (2/5) - I arrived at the food truck approximately 15 minutes after opening. I asked for estimated wait time, and the lady told me approximately 30 minutes since the BBQ fried chicken and Fish sandwich are freshly made. I didn't mind a 30 minutes wait so I proceeded with my order. The lady was quite nice and answered all my questions regarding the items on the menu. I ended up receiving my order 1 hour and 6 minutes later. I understand there is only 1 person cooking in the food truck, but within ~30 minutes, they only fulfilled 2 orders and one of those order was only one burger/sandwich. FYI, they do encourage customers to order ahead on Uber Eats. You will end up paying slightly more due to the increased prices on these platforms, but I think it is worth it to avoid an unexpected long wait.

I had my second taste of Fidel Gastro's last Friday while attending the Canadian National…read moreExhibition and it didn't do much to improve upon my original tasting last year at BMO Field. Since service isn't always a huge thing when it comes to food trucks (basic service for a busy truck, can't really expect much during such a busy time) I figured I would get straight to the food (the part I actually care about). I ended up ordering the spicy chicken sandwich and it just didn't do what I was hoping it would do. The sandwich came out in about 5 minutes and looked delicious. The problem is that when you have to chew chicken like it's some kind of rubber, well, it's just not a good experience. The sandwich did not hit the spot and between the sandwich and the $4 ginger ale I was left wishing I ordered something from another truck.

The phenomenon that is the pop up resto has taken on the Big Smoke by storm. Right now the big…read morechatter on the street is La Carnita who basically tweet out their popup location only to inundated with throngs of mad food gobblers who have gone fish taco crazy. Well there is a new kid on the block and he goes by the name of Fidel Gastro and his tagline is "Rebel Without A Kitchen" and in his world it is all about slamming sammies! In real time his name is Matt Basile who was a former ad man who just couldn't stand life in a cubicle anymore and has been honing his food skills under some fairly prominent city chefs. He was part of his own first pop up event last Thursday night down at The Bunky (135 Tecumseth Street) from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m. at pop up called "Opposites Attract". FG's was featuring four signature sammies and The Feel Good Guru was offering up vegan eats. So I figured now was as good a time as any to check him out. By 7:30 p.m. The Bunky was hopping. Who ever lined up the tunes had the place rocking and you got a complimentary glass of wine upon entry, which eased the wait of the lineups. FG's four signature sammies included The Havana Club: Steam Whistle pulled pork, havarti cheese and a douse of something with some kind of attitude; The Virginia Ham, onions and chili aioli; The El Paisano, egg fried spaghetti with Wagyu beef and veal meatballs; The Cuban Mac with Chorizo sausage, 3 cheese baked macaroni (yes, you read that right, a mac & cheese sammie!) and finally The Toronto Cheese Steak featuring sliced rib eye, Havarti cheese, hash browns, onions, Dijon aioli and a fried egg. All the sammies are served on a custom made bun (by Cobb's Bakery) and are in my opinion, just the perfect size. All sammies were priced at a decent five bucks. Being with friends we just bought up a batch of the sammies and passed them around. Surprisingly for me, my personal fave, was the Cuban Mac & Cheese. At first I thought, mac & cheese on a bun? No way, this is a gonna be a carbo blow out. Two bites into this Mac & Cheese bliss and I was a convert. The chorizo really tempers out the cheese and the pasta was cooked perfectly to be used in this way. If you are on Twitter at all you can follow this up and coming street food maverick at @fidelgastros Matt is definitely a guy to keep your eye on for some really fun street eats and as he would yell out after selling each sammie.....Ole! Funnily enough FG's table is anchored by a really funny, over the top cheap bust of Elvis Presley. On my way out the door that evening I tweeted...."Elvis has left the building with a Mac & Cheese sammie!". I'm quite certain had Elvis still been alive this particular sammie would have been a staple in his diet. I await the next Fidel Gastro's pop up. These are definitely slamming sammies.

Ironically I used their own website to order rather than Uber eats but of course the Uber Eats order got priortized. All I got was a very curt "sorry" when I finally got my food. Since the website dosent have a contact email I figured this review will maybe get noticed instead. Sadly the food was good so it pains me to write this but hopefully the service can be improved. .

Really disappointing experience…read more I placed a $200+ Uber Eats order for myself and guests on a Friday night, expecting a reliable dinner from a BBQ restaurant. Instead, I waited over an hour with no update. When I finally called the restaurant to check on the order, I was casually told that it had been cancelled because they ran out of food. The problem is that no one bothered to notify me. No message in the app, no call -- nothing. I was simply left waiting for over an hour for an order they apparently already knew they couldn't fulfill. What made it worse was the attitude on the phone. The person I spoke with was rude and dismissive, with no apology or attempt to make the situation right. Now I'm told the refund could take up to 10 business days to return to my credit card. Running out of food happens. Ignoring a $200+ order for over an hour on a Friday night and then being rude to the customer is unacceptable. Plenty of better BBQ options in the city -- I won't be ordering from here again.
