| - After reading about Joe Chicago on MTLBLOG, my 'cue loving family had to check it out at the first opportunity. This hidden gem is located off the beaten path in Ahuntsic, but well worth the trip from the Plateau if you're a hard-core carnivore.
We started with the onion rings, which were in a beer batter, which gave them a tempura-like crispness. This was followed by the Chicago-style pizza, which was good, although I never met a pizza I didn't like. Since our family motto is "go big, then go home", this was followed by Double Harry burgers (half a pound of meat! Bacon! Cheese!), a chicken Caesar and a Smoked Chicken Breast platter. This was my choice, and will be my go-to on subsequent trips. The fat had rendered out of the skin, leaving it with the crispness and taste of bacon! Yes, chicken skin bacon. You heard it here first.
No room for dessert, but there was plenty of time to interact with Chef Joe and his family. Their warm personalities were a treat in the cold Montreal January!
