The best theatre production companies in Toronto are programmatically all over the map. Have a hankerin' for a big budget musical? David Mirvish would only be too happy to oblige. Craving a classic that's tried and true? Albert Schultz and Soulpepper have your fix. Desiring a cutting edge play with the potential to flip the way you think about the world? Nightwood, Buddies in Bad Times, CanStage, Red One and Fu-Gen will have you reaching for your gravity boots. Want to see how theatre can help shape and build the future of our country? Then Clay and Paper, The Classical Theatre Project and Toronto Youth Theatre will give you a prescription.

The best cheap sushi in Toronto isn't just confined to the Annex, even though the neighbourhood has more than its quota of outfits serving fresh fish at budget friendly prices. From the Danforth to Roncesvalles to Yonge and Sheppard and beyond, it seems every neighbourhood has at least one affordable sushi restaurant these days, if not five or ten. Heck, even the Junction finally got one.

The best fried chicken in Toronto illustrates not just how crazy we are for the stuff, but how wildly different a single category of food can be. From the more well known southern-style fried chicken with its herbed, crispy, and thick flour breading to the secret ingredients of an Indian father's favourite spicy chicken, Toronto is blessed with a range of options that allow us to avoid the bland KFC many associate with this category.

The best burritos in Toronto are not just some collection of tortilla stuffing joints whose only aim is to get them out the door as quickly and profitably as possible. In fact, while speed is always of the essence, the following burrito places are insanely, passionately, and almost crazily devoted to this incredible mash-up of flavour and colour and go to extreme lengths to test, tweak, obsess, and perfect their concoctions.

The best crepes in Toronto prove that our love affair with this particular form of wrap isn't going anywhere any time soon. Influences in Toronto go beyond the classic French variety and include variations derived from Eastern Europe, in particular the palacsinta from Hungary. While the main distinction between these two types is the fillings chefs place inside, the traditional French crepe is also more eggy, spongy and pale/yellow compared to a palacsinta which is typically brownish in colour.

Either way, they're both delicious and seemingly becoming more common in the city. Even happening Lower Ossington has a crepe place now.

A bar that opened in Little Italy back in May is a refreshing addition to the neighbourhood for more than one reason. But at the top of my list is their policy (last seen at The Red Light on Dundas West) that allows patrons to bring in their own food for bar snacks.
