| - We put on coats and we took out our bus passes and we trekked on the blue line and switched to the orange and walked to the Decarie and I hoped it was going to be worth it, otherwise in that bright cold night I knew I'd hear about it.
We saw the sign, and the glow of the well-lit little oddly placed resto, and noticed the families sitting at the tables and were sweetly greeted by the one quick, kind and competent waitress working the floor. We started with the Moonshine beer, brewed by Brasseurs Illimitees, and my homebrewing dinner friend was pleasantly pleased and so was I by this tasty red brew.
We asked about the Champion on the menu and were told it was normally for 4, but they cut it in half for us and piled a platter wildly full of homemade tater tots, sweet potato string fries, collard spicey greens, mac and cheese, fried chicken, beef and pork ribs, and brisket. It was madness. It was a monster plate of food. The pork ribs were the standout, exceptionally moist and good, and the home hot sauce made me want to dip everything in it. The corn bread and coleslaw were light and lovely and just pushed the whole experience over the top. We rolled home and have been talking about it ever since.
I don't like a TV in a restaurant, but in this case I'll allow it because they were playing the Food Network exclusively, and the only acceptable thing to watch on TV while eating is people making delicious food.
