Here are the top 10 butter tarts in Ontario, according to two Torontonians who were on a self-appointed mission to test every one through the Province.<\/p>\n

Michael Deforge and Jullian Tamaki, both Toronto-based artists, documented all the butter tarts they were eating over a period of a few years. The duo\u2019s list of \u201cbest tarts\u201d is Toronto-centric (it is uncertain whether they ventured to southwestern or eastern Ontario?).\u00a0 A total of 6 of 10 places named in their list are in the City. Only two tart spots are outside of the GTA.<\/p>\n
