More than Just Hot Dogs - 'Toronto Street Treats' Fair to Promote Healthier Options
TORONTO, May 30 /CNW/ - Councillor John Filion today joined Toronto chefs to announce Toronto Street Treats - a lunch time food fair to be held July 13th at City Hall. At Toronto Street Treats, the City's top chefs will serve tasty treats from food carts to demonstrate the variety of foods that could be sold on Toronto streets if provincial regulations were amended.
"We live in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world and yet our street food is anything but diverse," said Councillor Filion, who is
also Chair of the Board of Health. "We are asking the provincial Ministry of
Health and Long-Term Care to amend the food regulations that restrict the
types of food sold on the street."
Chefs from across the City will host the July 13 event in Nathan Phillips from noon to 2 p.m. to demonstrate that safe, healthy and diverse foods can be served from mobile food carts.
Rain restaurant owners and chefs Guy and Michael Rubino have been actively working with Councillor Filion to change the way we eat on the
street.
"We know that people are looking for other options from street food vendors. Many countries serve amazing food on the street," said Michael
Rubino. "We hope that in Toronto in the near future, you'll be treated to
foods from around the world," added Guy Rubino.
