James presented his video to the audience of the culinary world, who, however, did not have to pay a dime for the entertainment. He was first at Dad’s Breakfast Sandwiches, where he described ‘fluffy eggs,’ crispy hash brown, house aioli sauce, and Canadian sausage. The light-colored crusty bread was especially praised, as if it had a ‘crunchy shell with a soft inside.’ He even revealed his heart was taken by the coffee slushy. Moreover, the next stop on this food journey was going to be Sleavy Peeps, where the king was captivated by the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a giant homemade biscuit, topped with hot honey. Coming from ‘the land of biscuits,’ he declared them ‘phenomenal,’ while also praising the crunchy hash browns, which one can ‘eat right out of the bag.’ Finally, he ran to Gold Standard to sample the classic combination of scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, aioli, hot sauce, and Canadian bacon on an English muffin, the tease being that their burger is ‘for another video.’
Followers were quick to react to his post and their responses were full of local wisdom. One user in particular wrote, ‘Crazy the Jeter girls didn’t get a single invite 😒 @denysejeter @breanajeter we may need to reassess his brother status.’ This funny allusion made by the family’s friends added an extra layer of private amusement to the food debate. Another person sent a very simple message, ‘Omg 😋 please take me with you next time,’ which perfectly expressed the envy that many had felt while seeing the tour.
The comments that were received most frequently were those which advised people not to forget the places that Matt did not mention. The peameal bacon sandwich from Carousel Bakery in the Saint Lawrence Market was the one most often mentioned among them. ‘You gotta try the peameal sandwich at Carousel in Saint Lawrence Market!’ was one person’s suggestion while another one had the audacity to ask, ‘What about peameal bacon sandwiches from Carousel!!! 😱’ The turnout of people so eager to promote a Toronto favorite was a sign of how much local inhabitants actually cared about the food scene in their city.
With the food suggestions flowing, new hotspots were already marked on the map. As a follower wrote, ‘Definitely try out @saving.gigi if you’re still in town. They have an amazing breakfast sando on their homemade jalapeno cheddar biscuits.’ Another person expressed a preference for Sleepy Pete’s, stating, ‘Sleepy Pete’s is by far the best poblano egg sandwich you will ever eat.’ The comment flow turned into a secondary guidebook with users recommending everything from burrito spots to late-night sweet treats.
The post also resonated with those who found new locations through him. For instance, a Torontonian wrote, ‘As a fellow torontonian, who also wfh. i didn’t even know these existed. Guess ill be going out today😂’ This highlights the real-world impact of such content, driving local business and exploration, as the creators’ wishful thinking comes into play. One more fan who liked the focus said, ‘Loving your Canadian content!!! From one foodie to another I appreciate this! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🐦🐦🐦’
The shout-out from Matt to the Blue Jays—with a simple ‘GO BLUE JAYS!!’—merged the food tour with the city’s cultural identity and sports fans support, who were really supportive in the comments. One person was very thrilled and concurred, ‘Matt BEST Country & City to be in right now CA!!! GO JAYS GO!!!🎉🎉❤️’
