Here’s where Anthony Bourdain stopped by during his Toronto layover
| July 23, 2012
Regular Dish readers will know that Anthony Bourdain, TV’s favourite bad-boy chef–turned–professional eater was in town last week to shoot an episode of The Layover, his new travel show where he attempts to cram in as much fun as possible in 24 to 48 hours. Although we have no idea which places will make it onto the show, here’s a roundup of the various Bourdain spottings from the last few days, along with reactions from the man himself (@Bourdain) or his crew (@tvsuperstarr):
- Carousel Bakery in St. Lawrence Market
- Tosho Knife Arts (@Bourdain: “amazing selection of knives AND copies of Oishinbo!”)
- Various Kensington establishments, including but not limited to Ronnie’s Local 069 (@tvsuperstarr: “observing Canadian hipsters in their natural habitat”), Agave y Aguacate (@Bourdain: “extraordinary! #lengua #Toronto”), Cold Tea and Thirsty and Miserable
- Poutini’s House of Poutine, with Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham (@Bourdain: “Thank you, titans of TORONTO, great band, good guys: “Fucked Up”. Musicians and gastronomes extraordinaire!”)
- Bacchus Roti (@tvsuperstarr: “#hangovercure”)
- Record shop Hits and Misses
- Porchetta and Co. (@tvsuperstarr: “totally awesome”)
- Beast (@tvsuperstarr: “This is the man who finally convinced @Bourdain to come to Toronto. Thank you Scott Vivian of @beastrestaurant!!!”)

UPDATE: Our Twitter informants tell us Bourdain and his crew were also spotted at The Burger’s Priest and Deq at the Ritz-Carlton.
