Fornicating Vegans
|
Fornicating Vegans There are a wide selection of vegan choices here in this city but that restaurant on the Plateau (in Montreal's south central area), was NOT one of the them. Anthony Bourdain, had been there year.s ago, and he had given it a blurry eyed, two thumbs up - so last week, my brother and I finally, went to check it out. It was a Tuesday night and the place was off the charts hopping and slammed - not a free table to be found. Our reservations took a month to secure. I gently sipped my neat scotch, while taking in the vibe of the place. The logo of the establishment, is a pig's foot and they serve - meat, meat and then more meat, with a sprinkling of diverse, fresh 'daily catch' fish and crustaceans. The tall ceiling was framed with oak beams and the hardwood floors were well worn. It was an open concept kitchen , where you could see, and smell the aroma of flaming, charing meals, as they were being prepared. We salivated, just sitting there. We were crammed table to table, and elbow to elbow next to neighbors - we had no choice, but to befriend. The music was hypnotically rhythmic and loud - 'indie chill', with a smidgen of 'top 40'. My brother and I had made up our minds on what to order and it was time to call our waiter over. The extensive menu included foie gras, pork, duck, veal, quail, venison, rabbit, roasted lamb, roasted pork and beef ribs, and those assorted ocean creatures ... and stuff that I really wish, I could have had an opportunity to sample over two weeks or three. Maple syrup, cognac and cream seemed to have been infused into many sauces. It was a restaurant that could easily cost you 5,000 to 6,000 calories, in one sitting. Oh, and did I mention the foie gras? I can't describe the meal we had (with any justice), except to say that - it was an epic three hour event ! We had the foie gras appetiser and I ordered the 'duck in a can' (go ahead and ask me), and my brother and I shared the roasted pig head. It was an excessive and decadently authentic, Québécois experience and we had ordered way... too much food. It was a meal, 'to die for'. Eventually... we motioned for the bill. Our waiter seamlessly angled his way through the cluster of tables, but stopped just short of me - to acknowledge the hipster couple next to us, who had been there, for quite some time. They had already placed their menus face down on the table and had been waiting for their (our) waiter, with obvious impatience. We were right next to them, when we heard them speak. "We just drove up, from out of town, and it took us three months to get this reservation, but there is nothing... here... that interests us - nothing !", the man spoke, as he crossed his arms. His well dressed female companion, looked up at the waiter and she smirked as she nodded her head in agreement. "What can YOU show , two hungry vegans?", he continued, as he drummed his fingers on the table, and frowned. The music and the din in the room barely muffled his anger and annoyance. "I can show YOU, the fucking door ! ", our waiter replied smiling, while he eloquently pointed to his left, with ballet seasoned grace. He then he turned toward us, and presented me with our bill. He also offered (on the house), shots of brandy, which he shared with us while we toasted to the night ! As we left, the grumbling vegan pair (next to us) , begrudgingly, got up and left as well. A table was free and a smiling, gleeful couple was soon being seated. That grandiose meal my brother and I enjoyed, was one that I won't soon forget. We waddled out the door and into the fresh cool night - huge smiles, pasted on our faces. © October 2018 Paul P. .................................................................... So... When was the last time you had an incredible foodie experience where the meal was unbelievable and you stuffed your face? With so much mammalian protein in semen and female extracts ... do vegans swallow or do they practice 'catch and release'? By the way... I have nothing against vegans, I just thought it was a funny story. In fact, some of my best friends are... actually, none of.. oh - never mind. .................................................................... Copy and paste the link below. This is where we ate. It's a laugh.

My brother and I met the owner of the restaurant and we reminisced briefly about Anthony Bourdain and his visit to his place... In one scene (on that show), the owner says to his staff - 'Keep feeding him till he falls over.' hmmm ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Ooo... I hate when that happens. There are a few places I know, that were never quite the same under new management. 'How could they mess up such a good thing?', I'd always think. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Perhaps duck and foie gras, are an acquired taste, but... I can definitely do one of those sushi 'all you can eat', places. Or any seafood for that matter. Let's all go out! ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Obviously a man of great taste, and most likely tastes good as well, most have heard of Fore Street { okay drumroll here-that's really the name } It's a James Beard winner as well as one of the Top 50 USA restaurants in 2002 at #16. The chef, Sam Hayward is James Beard, and Sam is a household name around here . The menu only has 8 permenent items on it and the remainder changes daily s they are farm to table and sustainable Yep, a blind date took me there the first time we went out. We tried all the foie gras, the rabbit terrine, 6 or7 types of local oysters and then each had a main dish. That was a three hour food fiesta and then a 45 mintues walk in the Old Port. I have been there three times since and never made it to dessert. I swear #4 the dessert menu will have to come to the table first Close second would be my visit to Toucanos in Albuquerque for pure meat orgasm ( churrascaria ) As for the waiter- I would not have been able to stiffle my laughter And for the vegans here's am hint (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

Yep.. That resto has been around for years (my bro and I r really slow lol ), and it is notoriously meat centric. Those vegans were just being 'a holes' . I put in a link (right at the bottom) where Bourdain was getting hammered while he ate there. If u like meat - you'd love it there. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

Last December, my sister an I went to an Italian restaurant, a little bitty place in a remote location. It was the most amazing meal.  "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

Actually, that resto is pretty bilingual, as is the whole city. The waiter spoke to them in perfect English.. Lol They were just being difficult. You'd have loved the place - if you like meat. Plus I'd guide you... Foie gras? Lol Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!
