I had so many disappointing meals when I spent time in Montreal.

The best food was at McDonalds where the Egg McMuffins were only made with real butter and the English muffins were toasted perfectly.

Other good meals were at the hotel restaurant, one where Americans tended to stay.

I had a good, but very expensive, grouper meal in downtown Montreal.

All the mom and pop, buffets, and other fast food were not worth the money. And poutine is just a bunch of tasteless French fries with gravy.

The whole freakin’ extended city is basically cooking up the taste of boiled potatoes for every food, including desserts. Even the donuts were no better than “fair.”

Chef: It’s not orange and it’s not chicken!

'We are simply not the best,' Montreal restaurateur says of his very honest menu

Gotta admire their honesty, at least!

Just imagine how it would be if more businessmen and -women "put their cards on the table?"

"Somewhat palatable burgers and so-so fries - Over 30 billion served, only an occasional upset stomach!"

"Kinda nice-looking running shoes that won't start falling apart until after the first good rain! And we pay our Chinese factory workers a bonus on their 12th birthday!"

"A perfectly adequate lay, and you probably won't get more than a minor venereal disease!"

"A man you can trust in the White House - to almost always do what his 'minders' tell him to do!"

Regards,

Customer:That was a lot better than I thought it would be. My compliments to the chef!

This guy: You can’t be serious. Well, if you liked it, who am I to argue?

Back in the day Montreal's favorite chicken was St. Huebert chicken. A relative of mine, who lived in Montreal (actually Ville St. Laurent a suburb) use to order it in as a backup if she got tired of cooking for visiting family.

What’s General Tao chicken? Is that a Canadian name for General Tso’s chicken?

Authentic Chinese and Mexican food is generally terrible. The North American versions are much much better.

"Don't let the name fool you, this one is NOT authentic Chinese food,"

Because there's no cat in it.

Little worse than an overly sweet orange beef, but done right? Then can be quite tasty, though significantly lower margin for a Chinese restaurateur than Gen. Tao’s bird.

A million American restaurants just like this.
