stands out as a passionate advocate for the underappreciated spots – the small, family-run restaurants and local favourites often overlooked by the press or awards. With his new CBC show,, launching next year, Doss invites people to explore the stories behind the counter and celebrate the resilience and diversity that define Canada's culinary scene. In suburbs and neighbourhoods across the country, he reveals the tales woven into every meal.
Food often represents home to people. Have you seen that play out in the places that you've visited across the country? So, I think what this show is going to do is to show people just how deep those regional ties are and how specific these cuisines are. I mean, it's a cultural mash because we're forced to be in these spaces together. Naturally, you're going to see osmosis. There's a Pakistani kid who lives in Brampton, a second-generation kid, who grew up next to an Italian guy who grew peppers and tomatoes, and a Jamaican guy who grew peppers. By natural osmosis, his Pakistani cuisine is now infusing those two cultures. That's very unique for Canada.
