I’ve noticed that Toronto is a city of trends, especially when it comes to food takeout There’s always times where a certain type of food is suddenly hot and popular and takeout shops start to pop up everywhere

1. Pizza. The original take out food and still stands the test of time. The only real changes are that there are more “gourmet” varieties around with special cheeses, breads and weird combos of meat and vegetables.
2. Wraps/Pitas. I remember when they were so popular after a night out at the bar. Exteme Pita, Mega Wraps and clones started to pop up everywhere pitching healthy eating. They seemed to kind of die out but I guess people realized that you could buy the ingredients at a grocery store and make it exactly the same at half the price.
3. Sushi. Enough said. So many out there it’s hard to tell which one is good.
4. Asian Fusion. Add chicken, noodles, peanut sauce with big plates and you have a new restaurant.
5. Salad Places. Nothing better to capitalize on trendy Toronto then healthy $10 salads!
6. Burritos. Burrito Boyz is the king right now, but the service sucks and it’s not worth a 45 minute wait.
7. Shawarmas. It’s almost a revival to the old wraps/pitas trend but with one huge difference, hummus.

So what’s the next trend? Rotis? Poutine?
