F4tF: Montreal, Part 4 – Au Pied de Cochon

Jon Hochstat March 25, 2011 No Comments

If you haven’t been keeping up with my latest series of posts from another recent epic food trip, this posting is the fourth and final posting from my trip to Montreal from Friday 2/25 to Sunday 2/27. So far I have written up my lunch on Saturday 2/26 in the posting Friday For the Foodies: Montreal, Part 1 – Schwartz’s Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen, my lunch on Sunday 2/27 in the posting Friday For the Foodies: Montreal, Part 2 – Cabane à Sucre Au Pied de Cochon and my amazing and challenging dinner on Friday 2/25 in the posting Friday For the Foodies: Montreal, Part 3 – Nose to Tail dinner at DNA Restaurant. This last posting is all about my dinner Saturday 2/26 at Au Pied de Cochon.

If you go to Au Pied de Cochon you better be aware of two things. 1) Chef Martin Picard loves meat, especially Foie Gras and 2) The menu is not for the faint of heart or for those with heart conditions.

The one caveat I have to give with this review is that this was a meal where four of us relaxed and enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. I did take pictures of the meal, but I did not write down everything we ordered – and we ordered a lot. I reached out to my fellow diners that night and got some items ID’d but not all of the pictures will have the menu item labeled. Hey, sometimes on these trips you just want to sit down, relax and enjoy the food, ambiance and people you are with.

Triple Fret: Songs In Borrowed Time

Jeremy Carr March 25, 2011 No Comments

Durham, NC resident Mike Babyak includes the above quotation on his Facebook page, and the fine new album from his band Triple Fret certainly lives up to this notion — listeners will indeed hear lots of guitar work, but no tracks are likely to evoke Zappa’s acerbic sentiment.

The Celtic storytelling and all-for-one union drive is flowing like a pint of the dark throughout Going Out In Style.

B List: 10 RSD Releases On My Shopping List

Scott Bernstein March 24, 2011 7 Comments

Look for long lines at independent record stores across the nation on April 16 as Record Store Day takes hold. With each passing the year the number of exclusive RSD releases increases as does the attention given to the day by music fans. Yesterday, our friends at CoS hipped us to a PDF file listing all of the titles being exclusively released for Record Store Day and it is jammed packed with vinyl and CD from artists within nearly every genre.

For this week’s B List, I’ve examined the PDF file and came up with ten RSD exclusives of particular interest to me. I’ll share what’s on my shopping list and then I’d love to see what your list looks like.
