I've been going to the market since i was 4 yrs old, im 40 now. Started going with my Dad and Granddad and now i go with my son and my dad. An amazing place and experience. I will say the market felt HUGE when i was a kid, maybe its because i was so little :)
Now this is what Toronto is all about. Back in late 70's at that same spot peameal bacon sandwich no toppings was $1.00 my favorite place for a cheap lunch. Love St. Lawrence Market 💛
This brings back chidlhood memories, my dad would bring me here on the weekend. We always had the peameal sandwich and he would buy Alaskan king crab and porter house steak. Great memories.
@@lukehemsworth3686 Not sure what your getting at he's a Tv personality and private chef? If your that interested you can learn more on his website. Anyone with his knowledge supporting the mom and pop restaurants and ethnic grocery stores I can get behind that. Cheers.
For years, I did all my meat shopping at St. Lawrence Market. I worked at King and Bay and would walk over after work. Shopped the same shops all the time and those wonderful people got used to my eating foibles. Then would take the King Car over to the Loop on Main, pick up my car and go home to put my meat away. Or, I would walk over during lunch to treat myself to one of my favourites: peameal on a bun or smoked meat on a kaiser. Damn, my mouth is watering!
I love this Chef. Effortlessly cool, well spoken, foodie passionate, no egotistical nonsense, no fumbles or awkwardness, entertaining and driven. Great collab!
As I always say I just love visiting markets...the colors....fruits'/veges...clothes and so much more....the big sandwich bread looks like our hops bread in T/T....imaple syrup...delicious natural goodness for sure spices....would love to visit this market....nice as always Thanks David be safe Peace.❤❤.
Oooof! Don't even get me started on St Lawrence Market. I drive for almost 3 hours every week to do my food shopping. The quality of the food is exceptional and the prices are amazing. It is in fact the St Lawrence Market that has me hating every grocery store in Ontario. lol. I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about the place.
Excellent video David. Try going to local businesses as you are already doing. The best places to go to are local businesses. My favourite spots are usually places like Roywood's (or similar), Afghan place's (or similar), Filipino place's (or similar), and places just like a local food court! I try not to eat meat because of dietary reasons, but your videos are stellar. There is Mississauga and Brampton, and try going to North York. If you are ever at the Airport, I will come to you and say hello/bonjour! Best to be happy and always be changing, there is a saying, no man is ever an island so keep doing you and mind your business in places where curiosity seems to be greater than reality because there is always highs and lows.
So worthwhile to go to the St. Lawrence Market and shop. Great meats, cheeses, all kinds of foods and good prices too. Back bacon on a bun is legendary.
I've been going to the St. Lawrence Market for years. It is the absolute best place to go for things to eat and cook. Parking is a nightmare and expensive.
Rubber comes from scaring the outside of the tree, Maple Syrup comes from tapping the sap in the middle of the tree as it comes out of winter hibernation.
I really hope you stay for the exhibition!!!! They have the CRAZIEST foods there and I’d love to see you vlog them! Look up the CNE online and please film a video there!
Some examples are: butter chicken corn dogs, deep fried birria taco bomb, deep fried pickle Oreos, cereal chicken tenders, kool-aid fried chicken, wasabi ice cream, avocado coconut ice cream and SOOOOOOOOOOO much more. The options are endless and definitely a food vloggers dream! Check it out! It’s open now until sep. 2
Hi David, So i got your Hot Sauce finally from: Su Yum Foods after a 2 attempt to deliver it to me by UPS. I also had to pay 18,02€ port costs extra. But when i tasted it today, i found that it does not look like the saus you used on your videos and your's seems thick and red mine is like water orange. It is light, little bit hot only, but nothing i can't handle. So do i have the same hot sauce as in your videos, i think not. So i may not order it again unless you say wich sauce is the right one. 👍🏽
Hi David. I have lived here for 48 years and I have never been to the St. Lawrence Market so it was nice to see it in this video. A lot of the things you ate looked delicious, but unfortunately not for me. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Mucho amor ❤️
Where are you from David? Italy, Colombia? Cause the name Hoffman is german. Anyway, interesting Videos. Greetings from Germany, wish I could live in Miami🎉
Nice!! Di Liso’s store is nice. I would buy sausages from there, their merguez style is especially good. The maple syrup was definitely pricey…. Costco actually has a better deal and equally good 😅
I love markets and love u brother... if u ever go back to UK.. tty luton for food .. very diverse and bein my home town.. well ... but also u did promise u wr coming to middlesbrough.. yes 😂😂❤❤❤
Love you too my bro. You know I’ll be back in the Uk for sure. I owe a trip up north 100%. Maybe another winter trip. Hope you and the fam are doing well too man. Blessed weekend and I’m not saying no haha
LOL! My friend, you need to travel and visit some world markets that are considerably more expensive than St Lawrence. It is not even in the realm of most expensive.
Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland, and the names Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were given by English explorers (as the first permanent settlers). There had been French explorers earlier.
@@joeng4057 He's very serious. It's an old Italian veal sandwich shop in Little Italy. The original name “La Rinacente” was changed to California when the girls of the family went on vacation and came back very tanned.. hence "California". The sandwiches have nothing to do with California, of course.
Not exactly the most common thing. Love somalis, large population, never seen many of their restaurants before aside from 1 or 2 here and there... unfortunately.
18:04 He must be on something. Getting THAT excited about produce available in most bigger cities Getting bad vibes from him throughout the video unfortunately...
The guy is def overhyping the market, but that one spot you mentioned is actually quite good. i used to work in this market during college and ive been down there. they actually have some very difficult to come by ingredients in toronto, that's why he's so excited about it. im not saying you cant find it elsewhere, but having that many difficult to find ingredients in one spot is blessing if you're trying to gather some exotic items for a dish
He’s been doing that in all the videos. Pushing his preferences, leaving no room for David to form his own opinions. This series seems to have less of David in the forefront and more of that guy just taking over.
@@6mas unfortunately, i dont see it effecting that place due to their main customer base - mainly tourists and out of town people. the only reason this market is even thriving is due to the travel books constantly advertising it to people, otherwise it would be dead in the water years ago. the food here is below mid across the board aside from the butcher shops that do carry some nice cuts
@@bcatbb2896 Baloney. This is and always has been a market for Torontonians; yes there are tourists just like there are tourists in big food markets around the world. There has been a market on that site since 1804. Why is it necessary for Canadians to tear their own stuff apart?
according to the travel guide and marketing that's what, the place is shit. I used to work at this exact market during college, specifically that shitty bacon sandwich place at the start. the place is filthy dirty and uses some of the most disgusting products you can imagine.
Found the hater folks....relax dude....it’s just based on opinion....no need to go off on Toronto...btw...I’ve never heard anyone refer to people in Toronto as pretentious and ignorant...Quebec on the other hand....
Sorry, but that is SOOO baloney. St Lawrence market (on this site since 1804) is TWO levels ( a level below the one shown) and the other half of the St Lawrence Market has been closed for some years while the new building was being built and will shortly be opening across the street. Jean Talon is the biggest in Quebec but not even close to the North and South St Lawrence Market. And also sorry, but not the best products. I don't think it is Toronto that is being pretentious and ignorant here.
I've been going to the market since i was 4 yrs old, im 40 now. Started going with my Dad and Granddad and now i go with my son and my dad. An amazing place and experience. I will say the market felt HUGE when i was a kid, maybe its because i was so little :)
Living in canada since 3 years now . And its true this is the best market in the whole canada 🇨🇦. The food here is insanely good .

Beautiful Toronto ❤❤OMG SO CLEAN & LOVELY PEOPLE OF CANADA! OMG LOOK SO GOOD!😪🙏🏽Blessings to his emotional moment, over his father.
I went to George Brown College for Culinary school and the St.Lawrence market is a chef's dream
Me too! It was amazing. That market is my favorite thing in Toronto.

I'm loving this series, especially because I'm moving to Toronto in October from abroad!
I hope there's some more videos left in this series.
@nagisafawkes6866: Welcome to Toronto when you come in October. Toronto is a beautiful city and you would love it.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for another great video David. And the chef is a cutie.! 😋😊
So real wonderful thank u for showing us this unique market stay safe be bless🎉🎉
Love how you showed the city so well, great content! Hope you come back to Toronto again soon!
That market is amazing

I love St. Lawrence Market. The food is great and the people are amazing. The art gallery on the third floor is nice too.
You couldn't ask for a better food ambassador from Toronto than Chef Dev! I hope he takes you to meet Shawarma Man at Shelby's!
thank you for your sharing market food❤❤
I love the enthusiasm.!
Keep up the Canadian content my Brother!

Daves been smokin' up
Very fun and loose. Smooth with mic too bro

The best market in the world and the most expensive!
LOL! My friend, you need to travel and visit some world markets that are considerably more expensive than St Lawrence. It is not even in the realm of most expensive.
Oh crap just started this video. So chef dev is with you. Are you actually going to talk for once or is he
Chef dev doesn’t know bout the Sri Lankan n Indian community in Scarborough with banana leaf n kothu n etc lol link up show u the rest on me
Uhmmm..... I'm pretty sure Chef Dev does! 😆
Il est certain , que le meilleur fromage au monde , c'est le Comté .😊
I 100% agree...first time I tried that cheese was in Ancee, France....so delicious 😋
@@MegaKittykat05 Many varieties of age ...
the best back bacon sandwich in the world
Nouvelle Écosse is nova scotia not New Brunswick (Nouveau Brunswick)

chef dev seems like he isn't unfamiliar with coke
David youre gide is good ,but alittle bit too much! greetings from Holland🤔👍👍
That dude at 39:57 looked like Justin Trudeau.
❤️🔥👨🍳🥩🙏✝ BLESSED ARE THE FOOD MARKETS ✝🙏😋🥗🥰
Where has Dev worked?
He needs to go too Woodbridge now
No toppings. The OG. Toppings do it no justice imo.
take him to California sandwich's for a VEAL
Are you serious?
LOVE baby cow sandwiches

Peameal bacon makes the best BLT
See any moose?
No Uno Mustachio? Major mistake. Thats the best spot at the market
🇨🇦
How have you not tried Somalian food in Toronto yet my dude smh
Not exactly the most common thing.
Love somalis, large population, never seen many of their restaurants before aside from 1 or 2 here and there... unfortunately.
Cook dude is annoying as fudge
yes
Is it only me, but that chef showing david around seems like he's on crack
Always get the orange marmalade on your peameal sandwich, trust me!
Paddington's Peameal... but that is a new thing after the Paddington movie, not anything traditional.
18:04 He must be on something. Getting THAT excited about produce available in most bigger cities
Getting bad vibes from him throughout the video unfortunately...

No chef buys produce at st Lawrence market. Bs
Ok Luke, we get it.
Best market according to what study ? Montreal Jean Talon market is the largest , best products. Toronto is so pretentious and ignorant .

Completely ruined the sandwich with those toppings Jesus that’s sad
its just a sandwich buddy relax

thanks, bro
