Baise-moué l’ail

As it happens, I have only one goal in my forthcoming Montreal trip: To stuff my face at Schwartz’s as many times as possible (hat tip to Blazing Cat Fur).*

Rumours have circulated for days that the Montreal restaurant was changing hands, a development that brought a degree of concern to legions of fans. Schwartz’s is less a restaurant than a religion, its devotees ranging from prime ministers to Hollywood actresses to legions of tourists who are happy to wait in line in the cold for the chance to bite into a smoked-meat sandwich while crammed at a worn table with strangers.

A guide for the perplexed: Montreal-style smoked meat.

Bad timing: Smoked Meat Pete's.

* Ben's: Gone but not forgotten.
