>> do you guys have a second for the city of toronto? we're changing the cn tower to drake tower. >> he's proud to be from toronto and put the city on the map. a great ambassador for the city. would you agree? >> i'm listening right now. >> i listened to that album twice this morning. >> we love drake. >> thank you so much. >> what doesn't? >> of course i'm joking about changing the name of the building that identifies toronto's skyline but drake is more globally recognized and the biggest cheerleader for what may be north america's most overlooked city. >> we're going to make a change. we're going to make a change in these streets. >> i'm carlton mccoy raised in inner city d.c., educated in kitchens around the globe. these days i make a living as a master smellier. i'm a nomad driven to move in and out of different cultures, different worlds to celebrate diversity by talking about what makes us different and the same. and taking it on to the next destination. that's what live is all about. let's do this. >> toronto is one of the best places to east on the planet. that's why i'm here. the food scene isn't defined by celebrity chefs, but instead by immigrants who have come from every corn earth of the world. over 140 different languages are spoken in toronto alone. the opportunity to taste international flavors in one place is what lured me here, but i know how difficult it is to succeed in america. it took grit and luck for me to get where i am and the path to a better life for new immigrants in the u.s. keeps getting harder. is toronto a land of opportunity wherework soupe seeds your heritage and diversity charges a nation? first stop, i'm getting classic cantonese food with one of drake's and my celebrity chefs, and he's taking knee his go-to restaurant. >> good to see you. >> yeah. >> good to see you, too. >> thank you, you know, for doing this with me. >> no, are you kid mow? >> i'm like a fan boy. we don't care about athletes and musicians. we studied chefs. you're like a superstar. >> this is a hong kong born celebrity chef who made his name by combining flavors from his childhood all served up on a white table cloth. oh, did i mention, i'm a little bit obsessed with her. >> you were doing, if i'm not mistaken, the foie gras with like the marbling and the soy. >> you have a memory. >> i remember all of it. >> you know probably more about them than they are probably comfortable about you knowing. how did you introduce to the kitchen? >> i really fell in love eating. i always think about flavors what, i remember, what i have learned back in asia. using different kind of techniques what i learned from the europeans. >> yeah. >> and i said i can refine that. >> when susur wants a taste of hong kong, he always comes to king's. for lunch delicious homemade wonton soup and classic rice flour rolls with crispy doughnut. >> okay. >> this is incredible, huh? >> this is called two textures, the doughnut and the softness from the rice noodles. >> this is like breakfast. >> this is like every breakfast, every lunch. >> texture is insane. >> almost like every place i advice knit asia especially everyone has some version of broth with noodles. it's like a soul food. >> yes. >> when did you decide to move to toronto? >> i fell in love with a toronto girl and she said let's go to toronto, and i don't even know where toronto, is but when i arrived it was 3:00 in the morning and i said wait a sec. somewhere everybody. i thought hong kong is like 24 hours. >> like new york. >> right. let's put it this way, you know. when i came to toronto, there's only one thing in my mind, to work. for mow it's making a living. >> yeah. >> you know, if i don't have to make a lot of money, i'm fine with if. >> yeah. >> as long as i'm independent, i'm way better off here than i am back at home. >> how long were you in toronto before you opened the restaurant? >> there were like three, maybe four years. >> you were here three or four years before you opened your restaurant? . that's super ambitious. >> he also wants me to try the bitter melon with egg and one of my favorite dishes of all time, barbecue duck, a house specialty. >> wow. oh, wow. >> hey, chef. >> chef, you're not kidding around. this is like -- >> this is chef. >> that's his wife who takes care of the front of the house. >> thanks for having me. >> they are the most loving couple i know in the chinese community. so bitter melons is in season right now. >> yeah. i saw somebody selling them on the corner. >> yes. >> do you like that? >> it's delicious. it's delicious. i love duck. i love duck. >> how long has is -- >> 37. >> i'm 37. >> how many years after you came to toronto did you open the restaurant? >> a year. >> same thing. >> i think it says a lot about the city, that you can come here as an immigrant and open a restaurant in five years. that says a lot about the city. a lot of cities where you couldn't do that. >> canadians allow people to do their own thing. they embrace you, but you also have to put your hard work in there. >> toronto has become the land of opportunity for susur and the restaurant. opening a new business is tough and that's why it's great to see immigrants here succeeding. kinsington market isn't what you would expect. occupying ten blocks it's the most diversified neighborhood in toronto. the first wave of immigrants that came here were jewish and by the '60s it became a microcosm of diversity in the city. not only is the cuisine incredibly authentic wherever you go, but it's intermingled, so it's incredibly chinese food and right next to it it's absolutely amazing jamaican beef patties, all at a high level and done by the people, you know, who are from those places. ♪ >> i'm from chile. i came to canada in 1966. the first time i saw my empanadas. they say, that isn't like how my mom do, and i called her and she gave me the recipe. ♪ when you have feet and you think you're not going to make it and i make a decision that i never regret in my life to come here because for me canada it's everything right now. >> i'm excited to try irene's emnad arksz with another cool -- what do you call people from toronto? >> torontonian. >> a torontonian. >> this is very complicated. >> you guys should re-brand that. >> sarah hagee writes social commentary lieu the lens of a second generation somali torontonian. >> yeah. >> when did your family come from somalia? >> in '89. when my mom first came here she came without my father. the civil war hadn't started, and i think there was an idea that things were head in the direction of a civil war which is why my family came here so early and in '94ish there was a huge influx of somali refugees, and i think a lot of serbian and bosnian people as well because that war was going on around at the same time so it's a huge time for people to come to canada. >> do you know why she made the decision. >> because she knew people. there's really something for everyone here. there's something for every kind of person. there's a place called rasta pasta, exactly what it sounds like, like jerk chicken pasta and it's amazing. there's so much of that here. that's something i really love about it. it's like, you know, we're here getting the empanadas. >> empanadas. the word comes from a spanish word which means to wrap in bread. cheese and beef with olives, both classic preparations. you got the egg, very traditional. >> thank, he does. next, we order something i've never dried before, and they are made with corn, basil and onions. i love it. it's almost like corn ground up into a meat grinder and steamed together so it's like summertime so it's as sweet as hell. >> really good. i do like living here a lot. toronto is a good place for community, when you have universal health care and child care covered in a very significant way, but in a lot of ways canada really compares itself to america and in 2020, two people were killed by cops around that time here as well and, you know, when something like that happens and someone is like how did that happen? we're not america. >> what you're saying is america is like the black sheep of the family. >> yeah. >> like, what are we americans now? >> i know it's bad, but it's nod as bad as america. that's -- that's the defense? >> that's the defense. >> tough to hear to be honest with you as an american. >> there's like a uniform canadian culture. everyone is always apologizing and saying sorry and being and can i just get around here. there's a lot of that. almost like a shield. can we take openly about racial issues. if you were to say i actually don't like the way i'm talked to sometimes or don't like the assumption made at me. people will come at you well, it's better than from where you're from. >> you're also not a immigrant. you're canadian. >> i am, but it doesn't matter to someone who doesn't care about those things. >> go back to where you came from. >> but a polite one, you know what i mean. >> although first generation immigrants look at toronto as a land of opportunity, second generation immigrants understand that not all opportunities are equal. balancing the traditions of their home culture while being raised in canada is a struggle, and it's one i can relate to.

it was so difficult for me socially because my culture was very black. it was all i knew. highways happened the last year, year and a half in the wine industry of being more accepting, it's like made me like more comfortable in the industry. you would think how can i guy who is runs a bunch of wineries be confident? yeah, i'm in a space where no one understands how i was raised, and frankly, they don't even ask, you know what i'm saying now you can talk about your past, you sort of start to feel like white people feel all the time. it's pretty nice. >> they just walk into a room and then they're in room. >> i think the wine industry is really lucky to have you. >> i hope they realize that too and cut me a check. and which one is definitely not. you know a cappuccino is for the morning and an espresso is for the afternoon. you know how to answer "sparking or still" in over 12 different languages. you'll try anything that's not currently alive... unless of course it's highly recommended. the delta skymiles® american express card. if you travel, you know. ♪ oh, here we go ♪ ok. ♪ ♪ ♪ hands to the sky, ♪ ♪ show me that you're mine ♪ come seek the royal caribbean what are you recommending for muscle pain?

>> yes. >> so they didn't want me to feel i'm different. >> most countries don't do that. you come here, good luck. >> of course, i miss my land, when, you know. to be honest, i'm feeling home right now. >> canada seems like a pretty sweet deal. >> it is. you know, back home we always eat the meat out of the grill. so here, try this. >> right away? >> right away. right now. try it. >> this is fantastic! >> we actually marinate it for three day, three days? thank you! >> yeah, three days. >> thank you. >> carson, let's go eat. >> you don't have to ask me twice. with mom and the prepared foods, dad on the grill and the help of abdullah, sister nadia, and new syrian friends, the family puts out a sweet spread. >> okay, i'll get that one too. >> okay. fattouh salad, and i'm about to eat it all. >> you should try all of them. >> i think i don't have a choice. i'm learning that very quickly. >> this is fishtails. >> thank you. >> you know what? >> all right. >> they put i think the bread. i'm not sure. >> this is like a "my big fat greek wedding," jesus. >> the cheese, amazing. you cook everything. amazing. how have you liked it here? >> it's amazing. i like to be a lot of people, yeah. >> you like it as well? you like it being busy. okay. cosmopolitan now. are there parts of home that you miss? >> since the war started, everything has changed because it was not -- it's not safe anymore. a lot of fake news. i know my dad and mom, they're happy being here because we feel safe here, you know what i mean? >> sure. are there cultural things you all love about toronto? >> there is people from everywhere. >> yeah, that's the thing, you know. >> i noticed that. it's crazy. i've never seen a more mixed place in my life anywhere. >> it's very mixed. right now we have our own private place. but usually they are barbecuing here, pakistanis there, indians there. it's very mixed, you know. and they share. they bring plates to you. they would like to share with you the food, you know what i mean? >> what a polar opposite to go from like being in the middle of civil war, having to leave your home and landing in like the nicest place in the world. >> right. we're so grateful being here. we're so grateful being here. >> seeing the kedeh family and so many others integrate and succeed here in toronto, regardless of their history is inspirational. for everything that i love about america, there are certain things that i could learn from canada is that idea of immigration like being a strength, right, and being a big part of your identity, and not just allowing immigrants in, but welcoming them and learning from them and allowing their cultures to be a part of your identity as a nation. and this place seems stronger because of it there is a unity in the diversity here. not to mention the food is phenomenal. i'm super impressed with toronto. like i literally in my head, it's this place i keep saying why haven't i been here before?
