20 Unique Dishes to Try at Street Eats Market
One of the must-do things this summer is to hit up the Street Eats Market. With three locations spread out across the GTA, each location is filled with a wide array of various food trucks and vendors that offer some delicious eats.
If you were wondering what sets some of these vendors apart from restaurants around the city, look no further than this list. I've outlined some unique (and some mildly crazy) dishes you can find. Be sure to look up where each vendor is as they aren't all at the same market and each market has its own unique batch of food stalls and trucks!
Here are 20 unique dishes you should try at the Street Eats Market.
Cheesecake in a Jar from Cheesecake in tha 6ix
This vendor not only does cheesecake on a stick but the cheesecake in a jar is a must-try!

Intestine Skewers and Balut from Eats Manila
Not only a vendor that offers comfort Filipino street food, but they also have some excellent dishes like the intestine skewers and balut. If you've always wanted to try balut, here's your chance. Balut is a popular Southeast Asian dish that is a duck embryo within a parboiled egg. Not for the faint of heart, but so many swear by it.
