Raymond Cua is the blogger behind Travelling Foodie, a website about all the amazing food he\\u2019s eating around the world. With over 25 countries traveled, Raymond\\u2019s indulged at some of the world\\u2019s best restaurants such as Alinea in Chicago and El Celler de Can Roca in Spain. When it comes to food, Raymond\\u2019s passion is evident, wanting the readers to follow in his footsteps in traveling the world and experiencing a destination through its cuisine.\\xa0

Growing up was a\\xa0 food adventure for Raymond, with his parents running a fried chicken fast food restaurant in the Philippines. Every summer, Raymond vacationed with his family and grew a love for travel.\\xa0

In 2014, Raymond began documenting his travels and recorded his thoughts on the restaurants he visited and the food he enjoyed. Over time, Traveling Foodie grew into a multimedia platform with posts updated regularly on all social media platforms.\\xa0

Toronto is not only the largest city in Canada but the fifth largest city in North America. The diversity of culture in Toronto rivals that of other more notable places such as New York City and Los Angeles.\\xa0

Despite its size and notable proximity to the United States, most Americans overlook Toronto for their trips seeking other culinary destinations in Europe as a priority. My ignorance took me to over 20 countries and 40 States without even considering Toronto as a culinary contender.\\xa0

Never again! I am converted!
