New Flavor City Episode from Montreal

Last week I released a new FlavCity from Montreal, Canada. I visited there back in June 2013 and was blown away by everything the city had to offer. The food scene is second to none, and when it comes to seafood, I have NEVER had better.

I had the opportunity to meet and interview celebrity chef Chuck Huges at SoBe wine & food show last February. Not only is he a dynamite chef, but he is too funny and a great guy to hang with. I told him I was looking forward to checking out his two restaurants, Garde Manger & Le Bremner, in June, and he told me to hit him up when I was there. Both restaurants really impressed me with their atmosphere(old world hip) and food. Both restaurants take advantage of the insanely fresh seafood available to the Quebecois, and cook straightforward dishes with flavors that will sucker punch you they are so good!.

The diversity of the city is really something you need to experience. In the old port 'hood, you feel like you are transported back in time, walking down cobblestone streets and horse drawn carriages galloping alongside, and then you head latin quarter, and you so hipster dufus and freak city galore! Walking through the city you feel like you are in Europe, but with none of the jet lag. While we were there, an outdoor art & music festival were going on, and you can tell the Quebecois take advantage of the nice summertime weather bc it sure doesn't last long!
