There was a heavy fire tonight on St. Denis near Rachel. Apparently L'Barouf and Le Continental were heavily damaged. Does anyone know the extent of the damage? Just hope Sophie and her team at Continental are alright, and everyone else involved in tonight's fire... This is sad, I love that place.

correct me if i am wrong, lesley c, but you rate out of 4 stars right? joey

what's a cellphone maniac?

has anyone been to gaucho on parc near bernard? i don't even know if it is still there. i am looking to find a good veal milanesa like the good stuff i ate in uruguay. that store on st laurent north of pins just south of the dollarama is good for mate and dulce de leche, get the conaprole brand, it's the best.

This is vague, but it is vaguely precise: Decarie, west side of the street, south of Sherbrooke, north of Maisonneuve, south of the "play it again sports". If anyone has an address or phone number (or name!) i'm sure cinnamonshops would appreciate it. There's also a korean shop on ste. catherine north side, between atwater and guy, it opened not long ago. sorry I don't have addresses or phone numbers or names, but if you look into these two places, I'm sure you'll find good Korean groceries. Esp. the one on Decarie. EDIT: oh yeah, and in complexe du parc on park and prince arthur, in "eden" you will find decent korean stuff, dumplings, kimchee... eden is on the first floor, and there are two entrances: one inside next to boccacinos, and one outside on park ave.

you might do better to ask in the toronto and ontario board...

would this be the same one as their "creme glacee a la creme brulee a l'erable"? I had this one the other day and it tasted kind of burnt. I know a creme brulee is burnt, but it wasn't the bits of creme brulee crackling that I'm talking about. I mean the erable in the creme glacee tasted like it was made with molasses rather than maple syrup. However, a trip to the new Bilboquet in Westmount provided a far superior tire a l'erable treat.

Lady J and I tried Chalet BBQ the other night, and while it was enjoyable, to say it is the best I have ever had anywhere in the world would be exaggerating. I think Romados wins.

Hi, my woman just came in from the fruiterie with these items. The lady behind the counter called that round item a passionfruit. has anyone seen a passionfruit like this one before? Thanks! riboflavin (spicy) joe

Saleem told me tonight that they are re-opening in a month or so.

We had a nice meal at Fid. we had a VERY nice meal at Fleur de Sel, in Lunenberg. We had a nice meal at Gio, in the Prince George hotel.

I made the reservation a month in advance... although you probably don't have to take a whole month to set a reservation.

We had some good pizza at bottega tonight. Anyone else been there? We had the quattro formaggi and the rucola pizze, very good crispy thin chewy crust out of their wood oven. 65 st zotique east.

My woman and I dropped in on the newly opened b.b tonight, and we were quite happy with everything. Indeed a very casual and easy place to go and hang out, have a drink, or a simple bowl of soup or whatever. I wish them the best, and I will most certainly be heading down there again soon enough.

now where will it be, where is it? 1012 of the mountain street. one stone's throw from the hockey rink.

with the sad news of various closings around town, it's good to hear that the guys behinds brunoise are opening their new place. i saw the menu, and i'm pretty excited to go check it out. good luck to zach and michel and marc-andre. i'm confident they will win the war on drugs.

that's an unwieldy menu

if y'all got gift certificates, best take advantage of them NOW, eh?

you mean, chez loui$?

I would think it is simply an error. I would make it with fennel. They probably also make a puree in the same way but with j.a. The recipe states that you cook the fenouil, not the topinambour. ← yes, to make fennel puree, you use fennel. you can get jerusalem artichokes at chez louis, as leslie said, or nino, or at the fruiterie atwater, or at that korean place on parc in the LA CITE complex (sometimes) or at SAMI fruits in the JTM.

They did this? That was acutualy not a very nice thing to do.. they must have known that they were closing... ← that's pretty low...

i know that ex-bearfoot bistro (chef?) and ex-club chasse et peche (waiter/sommellier/barman extraordinaire) employees have taken over the Cafe Krieghoff.

Claude Pelletier and Hubert Marsolais and the whole team kick ass. thanks for the great year, the memories, and the fun times. Back to McGill tomorrow, I will miss the kitchen.

balsamic, i have fattoria estense 12 year old, which was around 35 a bottle. you will definitely notice a difference in the ages of balsamics, the older it is, the sweeter and thicker is becomes. i think the bottle i mentioned is a good deal, when you look at price and quality. i got it in the atwater market, but i know cavallero in westmount has it too.
