Woman behind Toronto subway picnic plans to keep making food for others

The woman behind a subway picnic that drew lots of attention online isn't planning on hosting another event on public transport but still wants to help feed people for free. On July 28, Izzy Petraglia and a group of nine friends set up a table on a subway car leaving Glencairn station, which had a variety of homemade dishes she'd made. These included pancit noodles, pineapple brown sugar ham, spicy miso cucumber salad, sweet and spicy tofu, broccoli with homemade hot honey and ube white chocolate cookies. The group stayed on the subway until the end of the line and back, passing out flyers with the dishes' ingredients on it and encouraging follow passengers to take the food. In total, they were on the subway for about 90 minutes. Petraglia said the dishes were well received by many transit riders – especially the cookies. 'We met a lot of people,' she told CTV News. 'There were a few different groups of people just coming up to us and even if they didn't take food, some people were just interested in talking or learning more about about it or taking pictures and laughing. There wasn't really any like negative reception.' Subway picnic Passengers on the TTC enjoy a picnic on July 28.

'I'm really happy with how it went.' Petraglia said she was inspired by a similar event involving a Thanksgiving dinner served on the New York subway, which had been going viral on social media. Petraglia's Instagram post about the event garnered nearly 100 comments and was shared widely online, many in the comments wondering if it was legal or sanitary. Petraglia insists the food was safe and that she's not concerned about feedback, unless it's constructive criticism. Subway picnic Passengers on the TTC enjoy a picnic on July 28.

Petraglia said that during her subway picnic, a few TTC employees walked by, but no one said anything to her. Her and her group of friends were also sure to clean up after themselves. While she doesn't have any plans to do a similar event on the subway, Petraglia does want to keep feeding people for free. 'I would like to do it more at like a homeless shelter or at a park where there is a lot of homeless people around so I could really give back in a meaningful way to people who will like truly appreciate it,' she said. The TTC did not respond to a request for comment.

How the reality show Occupation Double made me fall in love with Quebec

I fell in love with Montreal every time I found myself back here — in very different circumstances I fell in love with a Quebec reality dating show 1 day ago Duration 15:02 Social Sharing This video was produced by Derin Emre as part of the CBC Creator Network. Learn more about the Creator Network here. I first stepped foot in Montreal, and only for a few days, as a permanent resident. The next time, I accidentally joined a very successful YouTube channel, Yes Theory, where I rubbed shoulders with the likes of the former mayor, Denis Coderre, and even former prime minister Justin Trudeau, all the while co-writing a feature film that starred the Quebec actress Louise Portal. Years later, I once again returned to Montreal, working at a self-storage facility with a group of other Turkish immigrants. Needless to say, I have seen many facets of Montreal and, by extension, Quebec — and I've loved them all. And yet, I've always had difficulty familiarizing myself with the local culture. Nothing helped me in small talk, let alone connecting with Quebecers. That is, until I found Occupation Double, a dating show that is also one of the most popular mainstays of Quebec's contemporary culture. In a unique fashion — literally from my own computer's desktop screen — I recount my love story between me and Quebec, whether it's with its culture, its daily life and even with some of its people.
