Description

The podcast for people who plan travel around meals, not museums.


Welcome to This City Is Delicious - the podcast for food lovers who hunt down a city’s best bites, book their restaurant reservations before their flights, and believe the only way to understand a city is through what’s on the menu.


Hosted by Kevin Durkee, Owner + Big Cheese of Culinary Adventure Co., Toronto’s top-rated food tour company - this show is your insider guide to the world’s most delicious destinations. After 15 years leading food tours in Toronto (the world’s most diverse city) and personally experiencing over 150 food tours across the globe, Kevin brings a perspective you won’t find in your average travel podcast.


This isn’t just about where to travel and what to eat, it’s about what’s actually worth it.


From sizzling street food and bustling local markets to iconic neighbourhood spots and under-the-radar foodie gems, Kevin dishes out expert food tour reviews, real honest feedback, and unapologetically spicy takes. Because let’s be real - not every “must-try” is worth your time or your appetite.


Alongside his Producer + Taste Bud Christen James, expect playful banter, real-deal recommendations, and the kind of tasty storytelling that makes you want to book a flight immediately (or at least your next dinner reservation). Each episode, they explore a different city  bite-by-bite - sharing the hits, the misses, the meals and the markets - and every delicious mouthful in between.


Kevin will chat and charm local food tour operators, culinary insiders, and fellow travellers who live to eat - giving you a deeper look into the city’s food culture, true local businesses, and the stories behind every unforgettable dish.


On this podcast, you’ll discover: 🥟 
• The best food tours and culinary experiences around the world.
• Hidden gems, local favourites, and can’t-miss eats.
• Street food, markets, wine bars, and neighbourhood guides.
• Honest reviews and spicy takes (no sugar-coating here).
• Tips to build your perfect food-focused travel itinerary.


Whether you’re planning your next trip, building your dream itinerary, or just craving your next great meal,  This City Is Delicious is your go-to companion for eating your way through the world — one city at a time.

Would you travel halfway around the world for a rice ball? Tokyo’s onigiri might convince you. Add the best donuts I’ve ever had. Period. Incredible coffee, department store food halls and convenience stores worth building a food crawl around, and your Tokyo itinerary just got delicious. In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren Shannon, Partner + General Manager of Arigato Travel, whose 29 years of living and eating in Japan bring a delicious perspective to a city that rewards curiosity.

London might be famous for fish and chips, afternoon tea and a proper Sunday roast, but some of the city's most delicious stories are being told in Caribbean kitchens, neighbourhood markets and restaurants far beyond the usual tourist trail. In this episode of This City Is Delicious, Kevin heads across the pond to explore one of the world's most diverse food cities. From Jamaican beef patties and Nigerian suya in Brixton to spectacular British cheese, fancy sandwiches, controversial doughnuts...
Dubai might be famous for doing everything bigger, taller and shinier, but some of the city’s most delicious stories are happening far away from all that sparkle. In this episode of This City Is Delicious, Kevin and CJ dig into two very different sides of Dubai: the neighbourhood restaurants, immigrant communities and old-school food traditions of Old Dubai, and the ambitious chefs, spectacular dining rooms and serious culinary swagger that have helped turn the city into one of the world’s gr...
Melbourne is a city where coffee is practically a competitive sport, laneways lead to your next great bite, and one wildly multicultural food scene meets Indigenous Australian flavours, native ingredients and generations of delicious immigration. In this episode of This City Is Delicious, Kevin eats his way through Melbourne with Mandy Kennedy, the Free-Ranging Foodie and Tour Guide at the legendary Queen Victoria Market. Mandy takes us inside one of Kevin’s favourite markets in the world, fr...
Lima, Peru is home to brilliant ceviche, bustling markets and some of the most celebrated restaurants on the planet. Kevin taste-tests five Lima food tours, eats at Maido and Central, and asks one deceptively tricky question: when everyone claims to be the best, what’s actually worth your appetite and travel dollars? In this episode of This City Is Delicious, we’re doing things a little differently. No guest. No polite little restaurant roundup. Instead, Kevin pulls back the curtain on how he...
