The Rice Man Cometh
If anyone knows the difference between Bangladeshi and Butanese rice varieties, it’s Rube Marcus.
Devotees of the humble grain are always delighted when they happen upon the 92-year-old Rice Man at St. Lawrence Market. His basement booth carries over 30 types of rice from pecan to red Sri Lankan to organic brown basmati.
Time to buy a paella pan. It’s summer's ultimate party dish.
Rube's Rice, St. Lawrence Market, 92 Front St. E., Toronto, 416-368-8734.
