The Halifax Donair Goes Plant Based with Chef Lauren Marshall | Dish With Mary

When people think of iconic Canadian food, they often name maple syrup and poutine. But on the East Coast, there is another legend that belongs on that list: the Halifax donair. In this episode of Dish With Mary, Mary Mammoliti heads straight to Halifax flavour territory with chef and entrepreneur Lauren Marshall, a Culinary Institute of Canada graduate and Top Chef Canada alum who has reimagined the donair in a way that surprises everyone. Lauren is the owner of Real Fake Meats, Halifax’s first plant based butcher shop, where she creates veggie based meats and cheeses designed for comfort, nostalgia, and serious flavour. Together, Mary and Lauren unpack what makes a donair so beloved, why this sandwich is part of so many Halifax family traditions, and how Lauren recreates the classic experience using seitan and a signature sauce that people swear tastes like the real thing. This episode is equal parts food, culture, and story. Lauren shares how travel shaped her cooking, why she chose to transition to plant based eating, and how memory and emotion can live inside a single bite. If you love regional Canadian classics, kitchen creativity, and the kind of cooking conversation that feels personal, this one is a must watch.
