MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Tostitos is collaborating with chef Susur Lee to introduce the Tostitos Tasting Window. Inspired by the local flavours of Toronto and Vancouver, chef Lee has created a series of bites that profile the culinary diversity of these cities using Tostitos tortilla chips as the base. The window will run through May 26 in Toronto and will move to Vancouver from June 5 to 9.
Guests can walk up to the Tostitos Tasting Window and ring a bell to receive a three-bite flight free of charge. With every flight served, visitors are invited to press the “Chip In” button to automatically generate a donation to Second Harvest. For every bite served, the Tostitos brand will donate $1 to a maximum of $50,000 combined from both Toronto and Vancouver events.
The Tostitos Tasting Window in Toronto will feature Thai coconut and pineapple dip served on Tostitos Restaurant Style tortilla chips; bacon Caesar dip served on Tostitos Scoops!; and miso-ginger tofu with sweet pickle dip on Tostitos Rounds.
The Tostitos Tasting Window in Vancouver will feature Indonesian sambal onion cashew dip on Tostitos Restaurant Style tortilla chips; garlic butter wild B.C. shrimp dip on Tostitos Scoops!; and harissa, date and pinenut dip on Tostitos Rounds.
“As a chef, a lot of my inspiration comes from different cultures and tastes. When Tostitos asked me to create dips inspired by Toronto and Vancouver, I was beyond excited to get started in the kitchen,” says chef Lee. “I love the diversity of Canada and leaned into that for each of these recipes. I can’t wait to share them at our Tasting Windows in Toronto and Vancouver.”
“Tostitos chips have always been about more than just nachos – they’re a catalyst for unforgettable moments and shared, flavourful experiences,” says Jess Spaulding, CMO of PepsiCo Foods Canada. “At its core, Tostitos is about connecting people to things they love. We’re delighted to bring the spirit of our brand to light through this collaboration with chef Lee and serve these bites that celebrate the diverse and delicious palates of Canadians, and the places they call home.”
The Tostitos Tasting Window is open from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Toronto and Vancouver.
