This multi-experience event brings to life the bakeries, delis, and eateries that once defined community life—the places where people gathered to eat, schmooze, fall in love, strike deals, and even solve community challenges over shared plates. The night begins with a gallery museum experience featuring historical visuals and content from generations that built our Jewish food landscape, delicious tastes inside a mini Shuk with a sampling of Jewish flavours, and plenty of time to mingle.

This will be followed by an on-stage panel of storytellers - food experts will captivate you with incredible detail of how it all began and anicdotes that with feed the soul. Moderated by Anthony Rose, Chef and featuring, Ruthie Ladovsky, United Bakers, David Sax, author: The Deli King, Lucy Waverman, writer, and Miriam Borden, Yiddish scholar and Historian, all sharing memories of the city’s iconic eateries.

Nostalgic, flavourful, and fun, this is a chance to revisit the moments and stories that shaped Jewish Toronto.
