Born to Eat and Run

Where the chefs go for quick bites under $20

Greg Couillard, Greg Couillard’s Spice Room & Chutney Bar

Swatow, for soup with shrimp dumplings, $5.50.

“The shrimp taste fresh out of the ocean, and the broth looks like water, it’s so clear.”

Bruce Woods, Centro

Chippy’s chips and curry, with a can of Coke, $5.81. 893 Queen St. W., 416-866-7474.

“Being able to find something in Toronto that takes me back to some late night or midday snack from the year I spent in Scotland is great.”

Guy Rubino, Rain

Tacos el Asador, for pork or goat tacos, $2.20 each.

“The goat tacos aren’t actually on the menu, but if you wink at the ladies in the kitchen, they’ll prepare them for you.”

Scot Woods, Lucien

Jean’s Vegetarian Kitchen, for pad kee mau, $8.50, and mock beef with green curry, $8.50. 1262 Danforth Ave., 416-778-1388.

“The dishes are simple but flavourful.”

David Lee, Splendido

Gandhi Cuisine’s chicken roti with paneer, and mango juice, $12.90. 554 Queen St. W., 416-504-8155.

“It’s incredibly rich, and different from the foods I normally eat.”

Robert Bartley, Four Seasons Hotel

Ghazale’s chicken shawarma, $3.49. 504 Bloor St. W., 416-537-4417.

“I love the sides: crispy pickled turnip, fattoush and tabbouleh.”
