The Best New Specialty Stores in Toronto, 2008
I couldn't really figure out why so manycheese storeshave opened in Toronto in the past couple of years, but after a quick Google search for "Cheese Consumption Canada" I think I found my answer.According to Statistics Canada, Canadians wolfed down a record amount of cheese in 2007, specifically, 10.1 kg per person.
Now, I'm not sure if demand led to more cheese stores, or the proliferation of cheese stores has resulted in increased consumption, but either way we have three cheese destinations on our list of the best new specialty stores to have opened in 2008.
They're joined by at least three health food stores (four if you countThe Beet) which I guess means that in order to get away with the increased fat intake from a wedge of brie we're all eating more amaranth cereal, soy milk and organic produce.
Here's a look at the complete list:
