Discovery Channel Host Helps Create Toronto’s Hottest Vegan Chicken Sandwich

Television personality and former Discovery Channel host Ziya Tong recently partnered with Toronto-based vegan sandwich shop Stefano’s Sandwiches to create a vegan fried chicken sandwich. The sandwich, which is featured on Stefano’s menu, is made with vegan chicken from Barcelona-based brand Heura breaded in a secret spice recipe from Tong, along with vegan mayonnaise, lettuce, and pickles on housemade ciabatta bread. 

The sandwich is gaining approval from celebrities and media outlets, alike. “Hey Toronto! I had the great privilege of sampling every vegan sandwich on this menu and let me tell you, they are the best I’ve ever had,” Canadian actor Dan Levy tweeted. “Thanks for the recco @ziyatong!” The vegan chicken sandwich was also featured on the cover of local media outlet NOW Magazine. 

Stefano’s Sandwiches opened last month for takeout and delivery. The eatery’s other sandwich offerings include the vegan filet-o-fish, meatball sub, eggplant Parmigiano, Italian sausage, and the All-Day Breakfast. Stefano’s also offers lasagna, sides such as mac and cheese and Caesar salad, and desserts such as tiramisu.
