Not sure about you guys, but when we see a pattern, we need to make a list. We can’t really explain it, it’s just who we are.

This one is brought to us by the recent trend of US-based food concepts popping up in Canada.

These American purveyors have either already made their way up north of the border in some select cities or plan to do so in the near future.

Whether you’ll be able to get a taste in your city or not, almost all of them have plans to expand to different regions eventually, so chances are you might get to indulge at some point.

Here are four viral American food concepts that are popping up in Canada.
