Kensington Market emerged as a Jewish market in the 1920s, later evolving into a hub for Portuguese, Caribbean, and Asian immigrants. Chinatown developed around the same era, becoming one of North America's largest Chinese enclaves. Chopsticks+Forks began offering tours to celebrate this culinary diversity.
