The seven “big cities and five smaller locales” were chosen by nine food writers, according to the magazine. The list is part of a larger Global Tastemakers roundup, including a survey created by the magazine with input from readers.
Award-winning local author and writer Bianca Bujan penned the piece highlighting Surrey. Bujan points out the plethora of restaurants in the Metro Vancouver city that reflect its diversity of cultures as a main highlight of the local dining scene.
“The city is home to one of the largest Indian populations in Canada, interwoven with immigrants from Africa, other parts of Asia, and beyond, and that diversity is reflected in the city’s rich food culture,” Bujan writes in the piece.
