It was my friend Justin's birthday, 2012.
My friend Yi and I ordered the pig's head. But you see, it wasn't just a pig's head. A lobster in the mouth, and with the skull pried open to reveal the brain, this was a feast for the ages.
Did I mention it was 2012? Ok, because that evening ex-Premier of Quebec Jean Charest walked in with his family and favorite bodyguards and sat on the table to our right. It was the height of the student protests and I guess the twittersphere must have been active that night. Within 20 minutes the restaurant was surrounded with angst-filled unfulfilled twenty-somethings banging on the walls and windows of the cozy restaurant. That said, my friends and I were far too involved with the pig's head to care.
Get the pig's head.
