Montreal food tour \u2014 We’re eating 100 years of the Canada’s most legendary food in one day with Luke Martin of @LukeMartin including the bagel debate that began in 1919, Schwartz’s smoked meat since 1928, a sandwich with rules you can’t break since 1932, and real old-school Quebec poutine!<\/p>\n
Some call Montreal the best food city in Canada \u2014 and today we’re going to find out why? <\/p>\n
We start in Mile End with the great Montreal bagel debate: St-Viateur Bagel (since 1957) versus Fairmount Bagel (since 1919), the family that started it all. Then the dish Quebec was built on \u2014 f\u00e8ves au lard, beans, lard, and maple, unchanged since 1938 at La Binerie Mont-Royal. Next, the Wilensky’s Special at Wilensky’s Light Lunch, a sandwich with strict rules since 1932, then the most famous deli in Canada: Schwartz’s, where smoked meat is cured ten days, smoked every morning, and hand-carved exactly as it was in 1928. And we finish with the original old-school Quebec poutine at a tiny 1958 diner that still brews its own spruce beer!<\/p>\n
