The YouTube star's visit highlighted a mix of historic staples and high-volume seafood spectacles.
YouTube and social media star Mark Wiens recently conducted a food crawl through Toronto, guided by local noodle expert Clement Leung. According to BlogTO, Wiens—who operates under the Instagram handle @migrationology—visited several establishments that range from decades-old institutions to modern seafood destinations.
In Chinatown, the duo visited New Hong Fatt BBQ Restaurant, which Leung identified as the oldest Chinese barbecue restaurant in Toronto, having operated for approximately 60 years. Wiens also visited Yummy Yummy Dumpling, where he noted that the dumplings are hand-made and assembled only after a customer orders them.
The tour continued with stops at Yueh Tung, recognized as Canada's first Hakka restaurant and a staple for 50 years, and 7 Noodles, a newer establishment in North York specializing in Chongqing-style mala noodles.
BlogTO reports that Wiens dedicated a specific video to Fishman Lobster Clubhouse in Scarborough. The restaurant, which has been open for about 20 years, is known for its massive seafood displays; during his visit, Wiens consumed an 18-lb lobster tower.
