Toronto food cart owner selling pastrami sandwiches aiming for diverse industry

Stopping at a food cart in Toronto usually means getting a hot dog, maybe some fries or a burger, but now you can grab a pastrami sandwich, too.

The response has been overwhelming with various sandwiches selling out every day in their three-month long history. On Wednesday, when Global News interviewed Dalgleish-Switzer the sandwiches were gone within an hour. “It’s the worst job for no pay. I’m tired of the excuse that it’s a labour of love and that’s why you do it, which is true, but I need to pay rent,” said Dalgliesh-Switzer. “We don’t pay our kitchen staff, work them ragged, then hope that our patrons will pay us. Which is why there is a dearth of cooks.”While the costs are not outrageous, it’s the red tape that can weigh you down, according to Dalgliesh-Switzer. It’s the reason why he didn’t open up a cart years ago.

“Carts are really the only venue for a lot of cooks to have their business, not have a boss, make a living, and not have to work 60 hours a week,” he said.But, it doesn’t stop there, the pastrami-loving Jewish chef wants more of his colleagues in the industry to be self-proprietors and take greater ownership. He said the startup costs for the entire venture were about $8,000.
