36hrs (or so) of eating
Under normal circumstances, service as poor as we experienced would have ruined the meal. But gosh darn, the food was so good it overshadowed the bad. Au Pied de Cochon (APDC) was my # 1 choice on my dining agenda for Montreal. Although I was equally focussed on getting a reservation for Joe Beef/Liverpool House, … Continue reading »
I had one more full day of eating ahead of me and a week’s worth of suggestions clanging around in my brain. Knowing we were going to end the day with an epic meal at Au Pied du Cochon, I knew we could only choose a couple of places to eat at to round out … Continue reading »
When I booked Montreal with little time to plan, I sought the help of friends to guide me to great spots in Montreal. Ben reached out to his friend Joe, who emailed back a great list. Actually, his suggestions were for some of the same places that were already on my list, but I thought it … Continue reading »
My weekend in Montreal was spent mainly wandering around the city to conquer some of its famous eats. There were some places that everyone said I had to visit and a couple that came highly recommended from trustworthy sources. With my map in hand pointing me towards Montreal’s favourite spots, I set off with an … Continue reading »
It was an impromptu decision, but I’m in Montreal. I know I’ll have a great time exploring the city for the first time, but I can’t shirk the feeling that I’m not in New York. I know it’s sounds ridiculous, but even moments before I purchased our tickets to Montreal, I thought I’d be spending … Continue reading »
Seriously? I still haven’t posted about Boston??? If we didn’t have such amazing eats in Beantown, I may not have ever have gotten around to writing this one… Boston was the end city on our East Coast Roadie, with over 700 miles of driving. We saw some amazing sights and ate delicious food. We had … Continue reading »
I’d been to Animal a few years ago, back when California still allowed people to eat foie gras. I’ve been curious to go back, especially with all of the hype that chefs Shook & Dotollo seem to garner in the media. But there are so many wonderful restaurants in LA that I haven’t been to, … Continue reading »
SLS. Spoiled Life of Susy? Maybe. The first conversation my parents ever had with Ben’s parents was over the phone. It was close to the time we had gotten engaged, and my parents were probably inviting Jo and Henry over for dinner. I really don’t know how they got on the topic, but somewhere along … Continue reading »
Nothing beats the dreariness of Vancouver November rains like a weekend in Los Angeles. So it comes with much anticipation (and rarely any disappointment) to travel to the City of Angels every year at this time. I have to admit that of all the travelling I do, this weekend is still one of my favorite … Continue reading »
As I write this post, I am watching Hurricane Sandy wreaking havoc on New York in the background. So many of the images I see on tv are of the same sights I visited 2 weeks ago. It feels very surreal… The amount of holidays I take is a common joke amongst my friends. But … Continue reading »
