2020 is definitely the year of ordering take-out and delivery here in Canada and around the world. So what are we putting in our virtual baskets the most for mealtimes?

According to newly-released data from food delivery app DoorDash, Canadians have big love for burritos, butter chicken, and chicken nuggets (or tenders, if you're fancy).

Similarly, in British Columbia, burritos and butter chicken take the top two spots, but then our love of Asian eats shines through, with miso soup and Califoria rolls sliding into third and fourth place, respectively.

DoorDash also took a look at some trends nationwide, and found that our collective admiration for deep-fried pub grub is on the up; the mighty mozzarella sticks saw a whopping 1700% increase in popularity in 2020, while hot wings jumped 1400%.

And one more bite of data: DoorDash says the largest order on its platform in 2020 was $1,087 and it included Souvlaki, Gyros, Pastitso (Greek Lasagna), and more. Hopefully that was for one heck of a gathering sometime between January and mid-March, or a seriously socially-distanced backyard hangout!

Take a look at some of the rankings for 2020 below.
