Why it worked

Toronto and Chicago are really sister cities

Transcript

When people say Chicago and Toronto are sister cities, I mean, look at this. This looks literally like those TD towers in Toronto. It is the exact same. Another thing that these cities have in common is the line up culture. We just waited 50 minutes to get into a breakfast spot, we're still waiting. And before this, we went to Wild Berry Pancakes, uh, that one right by the bean. And that had a line up that was too crazy to even try. So we didn't even bother.
