Happily leaving a previous Winery we drove less than a minute to arrive at Pillitteri Estates which has one of the more visually attracting buildings noticeable as you drive by.  Walk through the MIDDLE doorway to find the stunning Trophy Hall were…More »

Imagine this....  

As I look up upon the bubble cloud above my head.

Majestic serene beauty of Brome Lake as picturesque as Swan Lake[1].
Ducks land on the calm lake surface creating symmetric surrounding ripples.
Soft quacks break the silence as…More »

It's not quite a complete excursion to Vancouver until Smoked Salmon is consumed.  I think that's a fair enough statement considering Salmon is a local product.  I browsed around quite a bit of Vancouver realizing that most Seafood Vendors display…More »

Off we went walking 2 kilometers in the cold for some Bagels 'cause we had Coupons.
These better be some wacked out Rum soaked Belly Dancing Holy Moley Bagels.
Alas, we arrived to this Bagel Shop looking like we just finished running the Ironman.

My assessment of this Stand-up Counter Dining Poutine experience is actually a positive one.  My prior Smoke's experience at the sit-down at the Adelaide location was less spectacular.  It all had to do with the selection fo Poutine IMHO.

Although this is not the season for Winery Tours, we were still greeted warmly by Dr. Joseph himself as he walked in with a few friends and noticed us at the wine-tasting area.  He is noted as one of the first Canadian Icewine Pioneers.

It's not everyday that you come upon a historic Landmark to get some local Meat.
Schwartz's is the place to be for Montreal Smoked Meat, so I was informed.
If my Deli encounters taught me anything, I'm definitely in for something special.
It's with…More »

This House of Bagels has a few other Baked Goods of interest but I have to say that because of the queue and the setup of this shop, it takes some getting used to especially for first-time customers. The Bagels and order-taking are in the back and…More »

La Binerie actually refers to the Musical Fruit in French.
The Beanery's namesake speciality is Baked Beans. 2.5'd
However we're here for other Quebecois Traditional Fare.
This 70+ year old Diner seemed to be the place for such.

I've had my Canadian citizenship for quite some time.
If you ask me what Canadian food is, I'll tell you to Wiki it.
Bannock looks to be no doubt Comfort Food.
The kind that we all see at minimum once a week.

Would you like Fries with that?

While perusing St. Lawrence Market like any Weekday tourist, one fact is undeniable.
Carousel Bakery had more patrons hanging near them like Flies than most others.  

CB provides a visual attraction as well as better-than-most self promotion....
