In this episode, Mana and Tahseen sit down with Andrew Do and Sadi Muktadir, the food critics and faces behind 6spots - their platform for sharing interviews conducted with restaurants/eateries in Toronto by immigrants and new Canadians. We talk about food being used as bragging rights for Canada's multiculturalism and aspects that are typically not part of the conversation: food aesthetics, gatekeeping in food media, the regional dishes that often don't make it to the menu, cuisine as a reflection of immigration policy, and learning to fight back when kids told you your lunch stank.
