"GOD FIRE" Ramen The SPICIEST Japanese Ramen in Canada & ALL TIME BEST Brazilian BBQ Buffet

Good morning, it's Mike Chen here in Toronto And this morning, getting started right here at Market 707 Which is a shipping container market And just walking around, there's Japanese food, there's sushi, there's Thai food, there's Ethiopian food, Jamaican food, Mediterranean food It's like the whole world's cuisine represented in shipping containers But since we're in Canada, start out with some local food So heading to Nom Nom Nom for some poutine Poutine, one of my favorite things to eat here in Canada I remember, still remember having this for the first time I think I was in Toronto for a comic book convention a long, long time ago And I always heard about poutine, never tried it Went to just a random street cart, got an order Took a bite and never saw the combination of cheese curd gravy and fries the same again It's just so addictive Yes, it is very heavy But it's something I just feel like I can't get enough of And this place is supposed to have one of the best poutine in Toronto I'm not gonna argue with that Squeaky cheese curd The gravy is thick, is rich, covers the cheese and fries so well Adding this amazing meaty umami flavor Cheese curd is squeaky, that's what you can tell it's a good cheese curd Smoked beef Basically slices of pastrami on top Peppery, smoky and delicious I heard about this poutine buffet in Montreal Haven't made my way to Montreal yet And when I get there, I can't wait to be putting it in my mouth This is at least a pound of food I could just sit here and eat like four or five orders of this Also the fries here are so good Some pieces where the end tip is really crispy Other pieces it's soaked with gravy It's just like really fresh fries I think after this, get some rice balls Just got an order from Suzumi A little Japanese eatery that sells umesubi Which I- Oh they are warm Yeah Also I got a jar of amazake This is a fermented rice drink that's really traditional in Japan also There's something similar to this in China as well It's supposed to be thick and sweet Yeah This is a flavor I am familiar with In Chinese we call this drink laozao Basically fermented rice water, a little sugar Awesome Like I said, these are piping hot I got garlic shiitake mushroom Spicy pork miso And salmon wasabi Pork miso This might be one of the best umesubis I've ever had First of all, look how much filling is in here The sauce, it's spicy, it's savory, it's quirky And it's soaked right into the rice A little crunch from the seaweed as well Give it some additional texture A little Middle Eastern cuisine At Chef Harwash Came here, I wanted a shawarma But the chef told me he didn't make that yet But he was making a kebab So he told me if I didn't like it, I didn't have to pay him That bite I missed a meat completely Let's try that again All right, I can't seem to want to put this down Seasoned beef patties with herbs, some chilies Nice and charred on the outside Fresh tomatoes, fresh herbs, onions Wrapped with a couple of delicious toasted bread Some creamy sauce, some chili sauce Every bite is meaty, it's smoky, it's juicy and refreshing I am having a good food day today And the bread is so toasty on the outside So you get a subtle little crunch when you bite into this wrap Yeah, this is so good Actually this whole street, love the concept Store storage containers transport into this like mini Epcot Where so much food from different parts of the world I love the diversity And it's actually authentic food from each different region If I lived in Toronto around here I'd be here every day just trying out something different And it's really cool, you just get to sit outside Enjoy the breeze, munching on some amazing grub This is about done So excuse me while I go pay for this and possibly get another one Last meal for lunch, ramen Right now I'm at Hakata Yukosha First of all, they have this sheet that It's kind of like Ichiran Where you can select the firmness, the texture of the noodles The broth, the richness, all that stuff And also because they have a Godfire ramen I haven't had really really spicy ramen in a while So I'm kind of aching for the pain And Godfire level ranges from one through four Let's see if I can handle this Godfire at its spiciest Here it is Don't want to scare you but this is just pure red Their chashu just drapes over the side Egg, wood ears, scallions, seaweed Let's see Oh this literally looks like the top of a volcano With lava about to spew out Beautiful gooey egg Giant thin slices of chashu And thin straight noodle underneath Oh the broccoli stick Not bad, I like it Also got some raw garlic Raw garlic is so good in any tonkatsu broth I mean the broth itself is delicious It's rich, it's porky Very very thick Very flavorful I mean it's definitely spicy But the spices I feel like just meant to hurt you I mean it's gonna hurt you You're gonna enjoy the pain a little bit I do That thing will get you in the back of your tongue But just like the spice at Ichiran Really do feel like it brings out the flavor The noodles are very very thin Grasp onto the broth very well Really thin slices of chashu I really do feel like the spice adds to the flavor of the ramen Just like it does in Ichiran I actually really like this No wonder they call this god fire and not devil fire Egg is gooey and perfect I think if this is called devil fire This thing will just burn you and hurt you The spice itself is flavorful This kind of balances out the richness of this broth I haven't tried the just straight tonkatsu broth But I would really recommend at least getting some level of spiciness in there Just because tonkatsu is so rich And the spices make it so much better Plus raw garlic I would 100% recommend I like the chashu too Like this piece right here is so nice and fatty And that just adds to the richness of this bowl of noodles Definitely feel the burn in my stomach right now Maybe I would equate this to 30 times Ichiran But again spice actually adds to the flavor So after going through the god fire I think I survived pretty well Wish I could stay the same for my shirt Good morning Leaving Toronto today I've been here only about three days Didn't have a lot of time Got a big trip coming up So wish I could stay longer Tons of food stuff around here Next time I'm back, Toronto and then definitely Montreal Next stop though, Chicago Hey guys, just got to Chicago Here at the world's largest Starbucks The Starbucks Reserve This place is pretty wild Check this out So this Starbucks doesn't just sell coffee It sells food upstairs There's five stories total by the way And you can buy Starbucks keychains, cups, umbrellas, a jacket A Starbucks jacket for about $600 Or like, you know, five cups of coffee This is pretty cool Have you ever seen a curved escalator? I have never seen that before Got a bunch of stuff Classic stacchione Again, these are baked for this really traditional looking ovens in the back It's basically Starbucks pizza And it's pretty darn good Starbucks pizza On here, olives, tomatoes, some prosciutto Crust is light, it's toasty Cheese is not bad, tomatoes nice and juicy Ingredients really fresh Also you can taste the fire Strawberry croissant They bake these right in their oven Strawberry jam right here Great texture, a little flaky, not too flaky I think this is really good Francina chocolate tart Ah, so good This is the strawberry balsamic fritz I just took a bite of the chocolate tart So I don't taste any sweetness in this Which actually makes me happy Because my tart is gooey, it's chocolatey, it's really good It's also really really sweet So this is not overly sweet, I think I'm just really excited for the savory dish right here This is called eggs in purgatory So red tomato sauce, eggs I think it's supposed to be more runny The eggs are not a little overcooked This is just like an egg Soaked in marinara sauce with some basil This one is just okay Floor three seems like it's just for drinks And also some of the similar sandwiches and pastries You can get from downstairs Second floor definitely seems like the biggest The main floor, at least for food Third floor, experimental coffee Fourth floor is where you get your cocktails And one more floor up, I think you just get a meal And that's it Largest Starbucks in the world Next up at Restoration Hardware Not just a furniture store, there's a cafe inside This place usually you really do need a reservation We just kind of showed up But luckily, we got a seat This is so cool So all that furniture, of course Restoration Hardware Furniture Let's see what's on the menu Truffle fries are so good Shaved parmesan cheese on top There's so much truffle flavor in this Lobster roll Oh, that's so buttery Lobster is so sweet too It's such a hidden gem of a cafe Walking up, it kind of looks like an old building I think I'll say Here, it's just beautiful Never had this before Fried artichokes with rosemary sauce Artichokes are so good already Why wouldn't they be better fried? Yeah, they are So this place, good food, beautiful ambience And this is really comfortable furniture I'm sure it's expensive furniture Really comfortable All right, dinner time Had to go and get a haircut Shower changed I've been eyeing this Brazilian barbecue place For a while here Chamagolcha It's always busy I could never get a table Love Brazilian barbecue I probably came to this restaurant Attempted at least four times Every single time So today, as soon as they open 5pm Here, ready to go Turn to the green Let's eat Got a filet in some sirloin Really just focus on the beef here One bite of the filet You can tell why this place is always packed That was amazing Fatty, charred, so juicy Really don't need any sauce Absolutely perfect That's better than some steakhouses This is a bottom sirloin Every piece I had so far From the crust To the amount of salt To the juiciness The tenderness Everything I mean, it's just as perfect as it can get And I like mine with a little bit of the horseradish This is the garlic beef Again, juice coming out of this The horseradish I like the beginning where they kind of bombard you with meats And you feel a little overwhelmed Never a bad thing How's sirloin? Oh, that's the best one Absolute perfection Crispy, fat, juicy cut of beef Super charred on the outside They only give you the charred pieces I found out something about cheese bread here That I didn't know in all my years of eating Brazilian barbecue I didn't know this So the cheesy bread that they give you Which I've been to a lot of Brazilian barbecue buffets I've had a lot of this I just bite into it But what I was told today What you're supposed to do is break it open And it's always hollow And you stuff it with meat And you can also do something else Like I'm gonna put some onions in here A little bit of horseradish And I feel like I finally see the light I was wondering why those biscuits were hollow Now I know It's a purpose to everything This is a leg of lamb Holy moly I was just getting around to biting the lamb chop And a leg of lamb shows up I just have a plate of meat is just piling up Wow, this is like by far the best tasting Brazilian barbecue I've had No need to go to a steakhouse Traditional steakhouse I mean It's been like 50-60 bucks for one steak That may not fill you up All you can eat here This is just a skill worth better Probably better Filet mignon Oh my god I don't think it's much tender than that Oh the cuts of beef Holy moly It's filet mignon wrapped in bacon What? How juicy is that? It's like slurping beef juice And bacon juice at the same time It's just dripping Look at this A little horseradish to balance out a little bit I think this is my favorite Brazilian barbecue buffet By far But the only thing I can beat this is actually going to Brazil And eating it over there Which hopefully I get to do one day Beef rib just got here Oh my god I feel my teeth moving But it really made no contact This is one of the most tender beef ribs I've ever put in my mouth You can almost slurp that thing up with a straw That's how tender it is Very fatty though Don't have to chew that very much I think that's it I'm officially done This is an amazing place Everything cooked over charcoal They don't do that anymore That's amazing to see And this place is not even the biggest place The biggest place is in Texas Tried to go when I was in Texas Couldn't get in So glad I was able to get into the one in Chicago But the one in Texas they said is twice as big The salad bar is twice as big There's more items on there If you get a chance, try this place out I would pick this over Again, traditional steakhouses Value-wise, this meal is about $60 Quality is, like I said, better than a lot of traditional steakhouses I've been to And maybe somewhere else you can get one piece of steak for $60 And you're probably still hungry afterwards Here, $60 And the meat quality is amazing Alright, that's always all the places I went to Just down below for you guys Thank you all so much for watching Until we eat again, see you later
