This week on Dining on a Dime, host Lucas Peterson visits Crown Pastries, a Middle Eastern bakery in the Scarborough neighborhood of Toronto known for their handmade flaky baklava and other sweet items. Helmed by two Syrian brothers - who ran a bakery of the same name in Aleppo before they immigrated to Canada - it’s a place that offers a little taste of home to the many Syrian refugees who now call Toronto home.

First I'm not without sin, I commend the Men(s) for opening the shop (looks good). I would never leave my Country, I would have stayed and fought for free Syria "Death to Tyrants!" May you find Peace.

@XdarkmutantX1 8 лет назад

+Jack Wongen It is much harder fighting when you have little to no weapons and an entire family to protect. Assad has this many weapons and has a cold hearted military.

@trendthis364 7 лет назад

The Syrian War is so tragic, could you share more on why there's conflict? and what started it?

@sarahal-suleihi1515 7 лет назад

3AProduction I think you should take a look at Eva Bartlett, Patrick Henningsen, Vanessa Beeley, Prof. Tim Anderson, Sharmine Narwani and the Jimmy Dore show if you want news on Syria. They do very good reporting on Syria and some of them are actually reporting from Syria and talk to actual Syrians in Syria instead of barfing out the same garbage the mainstream media pull out of their ass.

@lucaskwanpeterson2010 8 лет назад

Thanks as always to everyone for watching -- the work these brothers are doing is truly something special. See you next week! XOXO

@protocolofficer2629 8 лет назад

The United Nations has gone on record stating that Toronto is the most cosmopolitan city in the world and I could not be happier. We recently had a very welcome influx of Syrian refuges and it's just great that they can get foods from their homeland. This looks sensational and I have had some, but not all of these treats. I hope this will encourage all Torontonians, regardless of their background, to visit and partake of this feast. Thank you for sharing this!

Looks amazing. I enjoy how Lucas seems to tactfully ask some of the harsher questions without being insensitive.

@eater 8 лет назад

Have you been busy? We miss you.

@cpunching 8 лет назад

Eater Work, dude/ette. Also there was a severe lack of Lucas the last while, but you have rectified this mistake so don't worry, this long distance relationship will continue.

@eater 8 лет назад

Tuesday is Lucas' day. He's a busy guy and we're lucky to pin him down for a week long shoot here and there.

I love watching the diversity of ppl and foods with their respective stories. Much respect Lucas.

@protocolofficer2629 8 лет назад

Note to all those who find these pastries sweet. Have them with Mediterranean or regional strong coffee ( or milk for the kiddies). As they were made for each other. Ice cream is good too.

@alexisp. 8 лет назад

Exactly! Always with a cup of greek, turkish, lebanese, syrian coffee...I love all blends A scoop of kaymak is perfect combined!

lucas the only host who can explain something with kindness without exaggerating and adding weird sound effects to make a video better. The only reason I'm subscribed to Eater. Good job!

@heyitsgerard 8 лет назад

All the Lucas love, great episode. I think it's that Lucas comes off so approachable. You just wanna eat out and geek out when he visits places.

@fjordhellas4077 3 года назад

I truly enjoyed watching your video and your lovely attitude and great sense of humor while discovering the amazing and excellent pastries of Aleppo. I got to discover the same sorts of pastries in gorgeous Lebanon when i went there less than ten years ago. it’s considered one of the healthiest and most flavorful gastronomy I’ve ever had! I discovered it in its best form when I went to study Arabic at the American University of Beirut about nine years ago. That was a revelation! I love the food and fine pastries of Syria and Lebanon. Greetings from Oslo, Norway!

@thesimplecooks 8 лет назад

How peculiar that you mention this, I started my low carb diet the same week you did (Aug 1). This video made me reminisce about yummy pastries but the excellent camerawork and Lucas' detailed descriptions make it easy to realize that I can remember those sensations of mouth pleasure. I also eat around 150g of fat a day so I feel satiated and have no carb cravings.

@lamias5470 7 лет назад

Kwayanyways I'm eating baklava from here while watching this lmfao

@REDMKnight 7 лет назад

PhanGirl . You probably tried the Greek baklava, not the Middle Eastern one. Lukas explained the difference in 4:40

@zaynj6085 7 лет назад

Aziz Ahmari I've tried Greek baklava, it wasn't great. But I've also tried middle eastern baklava, and in comparison to the Greek one, it's a hundred times better.

@nazmulbhuiyan1327 7 лет назад

I have been going there since they opened, didn't know EATER featured them. What I like about their baklava is that they are not soggy.

@ChibiQilin 8 лет назад

0:25 I don't know much about middle eastern food but that looks like kadayif or kanafeh and I can't resist those... They're just so delicious... I wish I knew of this place while I still lived in Toronto.

@cheneyww 8 лет назад

I unsubscribed the channel but still following DOD. Lucas really knows how to describe food, better than anyone i know.

@tofutoughtalk 8 лет назад

This place is awesome. It is great to see it featured!

@toukairin354 8 лет назад

OMG if I ever lived near this shop, I'd get sugar-related disease in no time... Those pastries looks soooooooo delicious! Again thanks Lucas for giving the humane side in every DoaD trip, this episode hits a very touchy subject but you nailed it!

@sarahr7890 8 лет назад

This is wonderful. I really appreciate the explanation of the Baklava differences.

@Realite58 2 года назад

Pizza is orginally from Italy, you can named it American pizza or European but it’a orginally Italian. Baklava is also Turkish, Turkish word and history but you can named it American or Lebanese it’s pattented as Turkic historical food😃 Gaziantep-Turkey

@ebbse 7 лет назад

I would love if Lucas did more sweet episodes.

@debbietyler9288 7 лет назад

I love your channel!!! Lucas is the best!!!

@inkboy12345 7 лет назад

Oh man I come from a very multicultural city and baklava is generally quite accessible but this looks insanely good. I'm seriously considering going there just for this!!!!

@shaz3r786 8 лет назад

@farihahoque5179 3 года назад

@bshayersamkari9070 7 лет назад

Really it's the best middle eastern pastries in Toronto

@AydinOdyakmaz 8 лет назад

Happy for these guys. Let's be clear Baklava is actually Turkish and the best baklava makers tend to come from the south east area of Gazintep , not too far from Syria. As the whole area was under Ottoman rule for hundreds of years the blend of many cultures made foods similar in the areas. If you go to Turkey you will see the Baklava shops that specialize in the beautiful desert.

@Hassan-gc8fi 7 лет назад

Aydin Odyakmaz it's not turkish, it's middle eastern.

@AydinOdyakmaz 7 лет назад

Disagree with you on that one

@tulipsrose896 8 лет назад

@onestarworld7271 8 лет назад

Will need to check out Crown Pastries but you'll need a car to get to the Lawrence East/Birchmount area. Also Scarborough is a more diverse than central Toronto (i.e. downtown/midtown and North York) since homes are "cheaper". Think there are way better restaurant options in the east end too.
