Third Culture is thrilled to announce our first co-production! We worked with Chris Strikes of Callowgrove Entertainment Inc. to produce the CBC Short Doc.

PATTY vs. PATTY is a short documentary that revisits the bizarre “Patty Wars” of February 1985, when Canadian federal food inspectors deemed the beef patties Jamaicans know and love to have been illegally named. Told from the perspective of Michael Davidson, the fresh-faced manager of Kensington Patty Palace, PATTY vs. PATTY weaves together first-hand anecdotes, archival footage and comedic reenactments to remember a story of bureaucracy gone wild and community resistance, with Toronto’s greatest snack at the heart of it all.

Patty vs. Patty was released on GEM in February 2022, and is now streaming worldwide on Youtube.
