"Growing up in a beautiful, diverse city like Toronto, we are very fortunate to have many amazing restaurants here," he says. "My favourite spot is no doubt Ruby Soho, not just for food, but for nightlife as well. The staff at Ruby Soho are incredible and never fail to make myself and others feel at home."

"My go-to dish would have to be the Soho Smash Burger. Executive Chef Drew Anthony is very talented and the menu has many different options to choose from. From brunch, to shareables, and a late night menu, they do it right at Ruby Soho. They also have an incredible cocktail menu along with great beers on tap, you can never run out of options!"

Survivor winner Erika Casupanan told Narcity about her favourite place to eat in her home city, Toronto, and she even went there to celebrate her victory.

"My favourite restaurant in the city is Dailo on College Street," she says. "They do a modern take on Asian food and the cocktails are amazing, there is always a new one to try! I go nuts for the dumplings which change every few months."

"The pumpkin dumplings are my favourite. The big mac bao is amazing. The smoked duck is a must-try and unlike anything I've eaten before. I actually went to Dailo for dinner the day after the Survivor 41 finale to celebrate my win! The staff was so generous. I basically couldn't move after dinner."
