Montreal

The slippery slope of gourmet gluttony  is a downward tumble into a pit of decadent debauchery at Au Pied de Cochon in the capable hands

Montrealer’s have strong opinions about the smoked meat they love. Some revere Schwartz’s other’s Lester’s, Reuben’s, Dunn’s, Chenoy’s or Pete’s Smoked Meat. Each with their own spicing, smoking and steaming techniques it’s like arguing which temple to worship at. A day trip to Montreal takes me into the heart of Canadian deli tradition.
