  1. Crack? Only occasionally. Ok, ok. So I tried to pull your legs. A little tone in your post, there sherlock, but you are right... i hoped to have a little fun, but I guess you guys take this pretty seriously. Sorry to get your hopes up. If I want to let my imagination run wild, I'll get some green clogs next time.
  2. That I do. Coming this fall...
  3. Hey, hey, hey- no tellin' until it's official, please! And as far as I can tell that will be soon. Good things come to those who wait. When I can, I'll post the project info here first...
  4. I took my brother-in-law|( a first timer to P.D.C) last week and we feasted on the champvallon de cerf and the brandade- absolutly fantastic. (allthough the portion size and style of potatoes in the champvallon had changed since the last time I had had it) Wanting to see some of the kitchen action, we had our pouding chomeur and coffee at the bar, where my bro got invited to check out the wood oven and how it works. His reaction the next day when I called him? "I'm addicted to Au Pied de Cochon"
  5. Lesley, Doesn't this sound like a new topic? Kitchens: what's hot, what's not, biggest, smallest, most mod, newest gadgets, etc...
  6. I love their pouding chomeur! As I am originally from beautiful B.C, I didn't grow up with this kind of food and now I can't seem to get enough if it. I got a chance to work there one night last month as one of the cooks was sick and Martin called me. Imagine how happy I was when I got to make the pouding chomeur....and poutine...That was a first for me. Fortunately it came out allright even though I've never worked at La Belle Province. Ha HA. This is a great place and lots of fun.
  7. This sounds like a great business opportunity to me.....opening Montreal's finest Mexican restaurant...we could ask M. Daignault to grow some tomatillos...and invest in a good tortilla press.
  8. Thanks. That's sweet. Reminds me of that German flick, Mostly Martha. great foodie movie
  9. What's up with the name, Rosalie? Or will I get in trouble for asking?
  10. There's a place that just opened up in the fall on St. Denis called "Albrijes" (maybe it's Los Albrijes, I forget) It's just above Gilford ( so, Laurier metro) on the east side of the street. It announces itself as 'fine mexican dining' but I wasn't too super wowed the one time I went. The pros were: a live, very cute band playing Mexican folk songs; an entire staff ( seemed to be one big family) of Mexicans-which is always a good sign-I even took a peek into the kitchen and was relieved to see it wasn't some teenage white boy mixing up my mole! The food was good, but not great. My enchiladas arrived alarmingly fast, but at least there wasn't a mountain of spanish rice on the side AND sour cream AND refried beans and all the other annoying "Mexican" side orders. Another con was that it was cold! Drafty, I mean. Hopefully they've fixed that problem, but it was pretty hard to get in the mood for a round of margaritas when we were eating with our coats on! Mexico? Feels more like Montreal.
  11. I had a great meal out in Victoria last summer at a place called Paprica Bistro. It was out in Oak Bay on a street called Estevan. Excellent meal, fresh seafood, nice little wine list, very romantic. It's chef owned, and his wife ( former hostess from Bishops) is a charming hostess. It had just been mentioned in Bon Appetite when I was there. Check it out.
  12. I first went to "Olive & Gourmando" (351 Saint-Paul O, Vieux-Montreal, (514)350-1083, ) a few summers ago when it was just in it's first few weeks of opening. I was suprised and delighted to find such a unique bakery tucked away in the recesses of the Old Port. One pain au chocolat was all it took for me to make it a frequent stop. This couple has been together for a while and these recipes have been worked over to perfection. This bread is great! Try their sandwiches too, for something different.
