My friend and colleague Christina Yli-Luoma (follow her on twitter @freshguru), grew up in Toronto, so when the Canadian Produce Marketing Association convention was in her home town, we set out on a retail tour of our own.
We were also on a mission to find the Best Butter Tart in Toronto (say you've never had a Butter Tart, and every Canadian will say "YOU'VE NEVER HAD A BUTTER TART?!).
Starsky's Fine Foods has a distinct Eastern European flair, with the only apples from Poland I've ever seen in North America. We also encountered a produce manager, Edward, who convinced me to try (and buy, btw) the BEST TASTING golden delicious apple I've ever had.
Take that, fancy apples.
