Locals Welcome: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Locals Welcome is a celebration of the lesser-known food places that make up the fabric of Canada's rich and diverse communities. Hosted by food writer Suresh Doss, the series puts food back where it belongs: in a take-out container. Outside a strip mall. On the hood of a parked car. From his home base of Scarborough, Suresh will zig zag across Toronto, explore Montreal and even journey to Richmond, BC - all in service of helping Canadians understand the fascinating and transformative power of the foods that connect us all.
