Description:

Discover how Toronto earned its nickname of “Hogtown”—for having some of the best pork in the world. Experience the legendary tastiness for yourself with samples from some of the city's coolest establishments, as well as a visit to a butcher shop to learn about quality pork and its origins.

From the Gooderham Building in Old Town Toronto, head to St. Lawrence Market. A nearby restaurant serves what you're after—a peameal bacon sandwich—which is arguably Toronto's signature sandwich. While munching on this savory treat, your guide explains the origin of peameal bacon and the significance of the market to Toronto.

Hop aboard one of Toronto's iconic streetcars and roll through the financial and entertainment districts into a trendy area in the city's west end. The streetcar ride is a chance to learn more about pigs, pork, and bacon, and their roles in popular culture.

Stop by a local butcher shop that specializes in organic meat from farms practicing sustainability. Learn about organic and ethical farming practices, what goes into making quality pork products. You have the opportunity to ask the expert staff any questions you may have.

While in this neighborhood, you visit 2 more restaurants to try some Southern US pig spin on a classic Canadian dish and a very popular German street food with American and British influences.
