In a brief blog post, popular economist and foodie Tyler Cowen has crowned Scarborough the best place for "ethnic food" in the world (he often says "all food is ethnic food").
His credentials in this area are very high. His well read book, an Economist Gets Lunch, goes in to the details of what he looks for, but, in summary, strip malls with mom n' pop restaurants are where he believes you find the best ethnic food in Canada and the US. For his regular job working he has travelled extensively, and if you look through the blog you can see he may have sampled almost every regional cuisine on Earth.

Wednesday night I was taken on a restaurant tour of Scarborough — four different places — plus rolls from a Sri Lankan locale, consumed in the office of the Dean of UT Scarborough and with the assistance of Peter Loewen.
After that eating, and lots of driving around and looking, I concluded Scarborough is the best ethnic food suburb I have seen in my life, ever, and by an order of magnitude. I hope you all have the chance to visit Scarborough, Ontario.
If you are wondering where I went, that is beside the point.
