Food & Drink

I’m a bit of a slave to expiration dates. With a terrible sense of smell and taste, I can’t rely on normal, human warning systems to tell me whether something is edible or not. I remember once, I sprinkled on my pasta some grated parmesan that had gone off, suffering some mild digestive […]

The Gibeau Orange Julep is a building modeled to resemble a building sized orange, and it does. It is as much a Montreal landmark as anything I can think of…maybe more, just for its sheer recognize-ability. If you were drugged and put on an airplane and woke up when the plane was […]

It’s not much of a surprise to anyone who knows me that I like to get drunk. I usually get a good drunk in once a week. Nothing crazy by the standards of today’s 18-year-olds or of the Bukowski’s of the world, but I like to throw one into my weekly regime. Lets just say […]

I’m an adult. I do adult things. I go to work. I’m allowed to vote. I’m of legal age to drink. I’ve lost my virginity.

Mondo Fritz is a pleasure on The Main (or St. Lawrence Boulevard, for non-Montrealers). Many people discover Mondo Fritz when the line at Schwartz’s is too daunting; others follow their noses after the smell of the fries. I have been happily eating there for some time now, but my most recent visit provided a new […]
