"When we are quiet it doesn't mean we are week, We're probably just making fun of you in French behind your back"

Edit:

I have to admit Canada is a nice place, Very clean, friendly, Good night life. just get way to cold! and bacon is nasty...

I'm a huge, huge Tony fan (No Reservations = Best Food & Travel Show Ever), but 'The Layover' just didn't do it for me.

I kinda saw that show as Travel Channel milking the golden cow for all he was worth.

Looking forward to his new show this spring.

Toronto in 2006 for 4 days and by the second day was looking forward to going home. That's how much that city sucks. I've met lot's of Canadians and never met one I really didn't like, but Toronto has a pleasant surface, but the underbelly was pretty much self-absorbed people for no reason. And this is coming from a guy who lived in Portland Oregon at the time.

Sounds like a great sample size to make all of those generalizations on.... I have been to many different places around the world and I like a lot of them but to say Toronto sucks is a joke. I live here and live in the underbelly and it is by no means full of self absorbed people. It is one of the most diverse, accepting and fun places to live on Earth. Too bad you had a poor experience.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Its a great city in my opinion and I know more people that agree with that statement than disagree with it.

Love Bourdain's shows...

Its funny the people in this video talking about Toronto are exactly how people are. They look like shit, look dirty (that's cool), they think they are cool, but to everyone else (anyone not from toronto)they look like broke out of work losers.

Did i say Toronto sucks? lol

Hahha Thats a hell of a way of putting it ... you figure with a metro area as big as Toronto you would probably see more of the bad of a city then the good

Theo · 12-20-2012, 10:14 PM

I was watching this episode 2 days ago, Toronto looks pretty bad ass

QFT

As he's driving into downtown "not a good looking city, not a good looking town" - he's so right, by big city standards it's ugly. Even the hipsters and hippies are second rate.

JohnE · 12-21-2012, 12:18 AM

I lived there for 5 years. It is notoriously an ugly city. Some people called TO the 'slab' because its all concrete and and no green. Its a mash. But there is good food. You could tell Bourdain didnt think much of it. He's big on Vancouver and Montreal.
