The pitch
What walked into the Den
Crumbs Patties, Pierre St. Rose’s gourmet take on the Jamaican-style patty, featured in season 20, episode 11, with roots in Scarborough and a shop in downtown Toronto.
Invited an investment of $175,000 to part with 20 percent, for an implied $875,000.
After the show
What happened next
The outcome open, the reliable ground is the present-day status we checked.
The business is visibly open: our July 2026 check found a live site listing a Baldwin Street address in Toronto with current phone and email, backed by coverage in Toronto Life, BlogTO, CTV and the Toronto Star, though the ordering page itself did not fully render for us.
Our read
The Hub verdict
The ask reads as a scaling number for a food brand with a physical footprint: a mid-six-figure cheque against a fifth of the business, a price just under a million on a gourmet patty operation that already runs a downtown Toronto storefront and draws heavy local press.
The result did not air, so we keep the page to the ask and the status. That status is solid on the business side, with a live site listing a Baldwin Street address and current contact details, backed by Toronto Life, BlogTO, CTV and the Star, even though the ordering page did not fully render for us. Coverage and a storefront confirm an open business, not a signed deal.
A storefront brand with press behind it, outcome not broadcast.
Worth knowing: Press coverage and a listed storefront confirm the shop is trading; the Den outcome is a separate fact the episode did not hand over.
