  1. Thinly sliced, peppery halal brisket piled onto soft rye with yellow mustard is the whole point of this no-frills deli tucked into a Scarborough strip mall. The chef spent close to two decades at Montreal's Schwartz's before landing on his own recipe, and the brisket earns that apprenticeship: marinated for days, smoked for hours, finished in a steamer. The poutine is also there, against all medical counsel. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first
