What the creator captured
Peaks100 visited Sumac in Toronto with high expectations but left feeling disappointed, rating the chicken shawarma a mediocre 5 out of 10. He noted concerning cross-contamination on the cutting board and felt the food didn't compare to shawarma he previously had in Detroit. After the meal, he explored a massive local mall and noted unique Canadian fast food options like poutine at Burger King.
