Toronto Underground Market

The Toronto Underground Market (TUM) is Canada’s first and only social food market designed to give budding food entrepreneurs, chefs and home cooks a platform to test new food ideas to an eager market.

The vendors are not all chefs and this is not a farmers market. There is a wealth of delicious professional quality food being made in Toronto and the TUM provides an opportunity for it be shared....finally!

The upcoming event is on Saturday, November 19th & will run from 6 to 11 pm at the Evergreen Brick Works. I encourage you to take the FREE shuttle bus that will run to & from Broadview Station all evening.

Please come dressed warmly & don’t forget your toques, scarves & gloves. We will be helping you stay warm with hot drinks (some alcoholic & some not) & delicious soups.

The November TUM on the 19th is at the Evergreen Brick Works. The upcoming event will NOT be at 99 Sudbury. As difficult a decision as it is to change venues, it is a priority to keep the Toronto Underground Market in a nurturing environment with similar principles. I sincerely apologize for the confusion around the venue this month. Having said that, I am thrilled to be back at the Evergreen Brick Works & promise this event will be the best one yet! We will have heaters & do our best to insulate the event space but dress warmly! For newcomers, it is an indoor/outdoor space so wear gloves, a hat, etc. There will be hot soups & beverages to help too. See you next weekend!

November Tickets

November TUM tickets are sold out. Wow, thank you Toronto! I am planning to sell tickets at the door at 8:30pm again for those who missed out.

Although change is difficult, the decisions made for this month were essential. Price of tickets will be $10 moving forward to keep the TUM self-sustainable. The choice for a new indoor venue was made due to the cold weather.

Thanks to all TUM supporters!!

I need to express some sadness. I have been using Apple products for decades & my first computer was a Mac. A tiny screen & a green cursor is all I can think about.
Nowadays I live on my Macbook Air laptop. As an entrepreneur, my iPhone is my most powerful weapon. It allows me to do everything, all the time & not miss any opportunities for connecting, networking & growth.
I feel sad but I also find it absurd. This man created & designed so many important products that have made me feel connected to him even though I never met him.
The TUM, my small business, would not have evolved quite as remarkably without the amazing Apple tools I own & use every day.
I extend my dearest sympathies to his friends & family.
The world has lost a true innovator.
RIP Steve Jobs
