Unveiling the Craziest Uber Eats Order Ever!
Imagine this: a single order for burgers and fries totaling over $6,000! Yes, you read that right. This jaw-dropping order, placed by a hungry Torontonian, has become the most expensive delivery in Canada since Uber Eats' launch a decade ago.
But here's the catch: Uber Eats Canada is keeping the details under wraps. They're not revealing the restaurant or the exact timing of this extravagant order. However, their 2025 Cravings Report, released on Thursday, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of food ordering in Toronto and across Canada.
Toronto, the city where it all began for Uber Eats, has played a pivotal role in the app's global success. It was the first city worldwide to embrace the convenience of having meals delivered right to their doors. Starting with just 80 to 100 restaurants, Uber Eats has now expanded to over 400 Canadian cities and boasts more than 50,000 merchants on its platform.
Why Toronto? Lola Kassim, the general manager of Uber Eats Canada, explains it perfectly: "Toronto has a reputation for being a cosmopolitan city with a vibrant restaurant culture. People here are open to trying new things, and we have a dedicated base of delivery partners. It was the perfect testing ground and launchpad for our service."
And this is where it gets interesting... Uber Eats has evolved beyond just food delivery. Over the years, it has transformed into a versatile marketplace, offering delivery for flowers, cannabis, groceries, clothing, and personal care items. Torontonians, in particular, have embraced this diversity, ordering everything from glitter glue sticks to plush emoji pillows and even a wild grass bush!
Across Canada, the creativity knows no bounds. One user ordered a space cowgirl Halloween costume, while another opted for a monogram dragon ornament. And who could forget the person who couriered a disco ball right to their doorstep?
"It's exciting to see that people are searching for these unique items," says Kassim. "As we move forward, our goal is to become the go-to platform for almost anything you can imagine."
So, what are Torontonians' favorite foods? In the last 10 years, Uber Eats Canada reveals some fascinating trends. Torontonians have ordered a whopping seven million bananas, 28 million orders of fries, and 30 million burgers. But it's not just about burgers and fries. Classic Canadian favorites like poutine, ketchup chips, Nanaimo bars, Caesars, and butter tarts have also been in high demand, with about eight million orders over the same period.
The food choices of Torontonians have evolved significantly over the last decade. Back in 2016, burgers, tacos, and pad thai were the top picks. But now, diners are opting for burrito bowls, chicken and rice, and bagels. Even the side dishes have changed; garlic dipping sauce has taken the lead, followed by hash browns and fries. In 2016, fries were the clear winner, but now, gravy and spring rolls have joined the mix.
When it comes to cuisine, Torontonians have a soft spot for Asian food, which has consistently been their top choice. However, the second and third most ordered cuisines have shifted. In 2016, it was Indian and Chinese, but in 2025, American and Canadian food have taken the spotlight.
While Toronto may not be known for its generous tipping, it has earned a reputation for being one of the politest cities. Torontonians are more likely to include polite phrases like "please" and "thank you" in their orders, adding a touch of warmth to their deliveries.
So, there you have it—a glimpse into the fascinating world of Uber Eats in Toronto. From extravagant orders to unique item deliveries, it's clear that Torontonians have embraced the convenience and diversity that Uber Eats offers. And who knows, maybe one day, we'll see an even more outrageous order that breaks all records!
