Ranking it with, Tokyo, New York, Paris, Chicago, Sydney et al. Pretty impressive class as well only Canadian city on the list. Toronto did rank 4th as a city to watch out for in the future. Tue Jun 10 14:07:07 -0700 2008 110047 buddah cabaret 1 3767836 Vancouver is a great restaurant city for sure....but note that the great eating cities of Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, etc. didn't make the cut. So as they say...take the rankings with a grain of salt. Tue Jun 10 14:17:49 -0700 2008 3767798 145820 fmed 2 3767927 Also- Chicago? Really? Do they think everybody in Chicago goes to Alinea and Charlie Trotter's? I grew up there and don't consider Chicago even in the same league as Toronto as average dining experience goes- not to mention the outstanding plethora of markets and grocery in general in Toronto. Chicago doesn't have anything even remotely like a St Lawrence Market or Kensington Market. Chicago's Chinatown doesn't touch Calgary's never mind Toronto's.

And since F&W didn't publish criteria, then I assume it's purely an arbitrary exercise. Tue Jun 10 14:47:46 -0700 2008 3767927 145820 fmed 1 3767843 Was this an editorial ranking or reader's choice? I prefer Toronto, but that's just me. You can't get a decent roti in Vancouver. Tue Jun 10 14:18:56 -0700 2008 3767798 12135 John Manzo 2 3767901 Editorial. Tue Jun 10 14:32:30 -0700 2008 3767843 145820 fmed 2 3767915 Here's my posting from a couple months back: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/508310 Tue Jun 10 14:36:34 -0700 2008 3767843 145820 fmed 2 3771338 I am pretty sure the ranking was not based on whether or not you can find a good roti, but thats just me Wed Jun 11 13:44:47 -0700 2008 3767843 110047 buddah cabaret 3 3771472 Personally, roti is a once in a while dish. Toronto has preponderance of good roti. However, since my tastes tend to favor Asian flavours...especially Japanese...I would not want to trade Vancouver's great Japanese food for Toronto's. Wed Jun 11 14:16:15 -0700 2008 3771338 145820 fmed 4 3771479 Just curious. Is it India Indian roti or Singapore/Malaysia Indian roti? Wed Jun 11 14:19:30 -0700 2008 3771472 149589 kwailan4 5 3771502 Trinidadian. Wed Jun 11 14:25:08 -0700 2008 3771479 12135 John Manzo 6 3771573 Ah, that figures. I believe Toronto's Trinidadian community is a lot larger than Vancouver's. Wed Jun 11 14:42:14 -0700 2008 3771502 149589 kwailan4 7 3771576 Toronto's is the second largest in the world after Port of Spain. Wed Jun 11 14:43:34 -0700 2008 3771573 12135 John Manzo
