It's rare, but every once in a while, I encounter an edible that puts me into what I like to call a food fugue. Yesterday, Le Pick-Up allowed for this altered state of reality with its life-changing vegan pulled pork sandwich. I believe I held conversations while eating, but I don't remember a single word of them. I can't even tell you where I was at any point while devouring this masterful ensemble of yuba bits slathered in BBQ, topped with slaw, hot pickled peppers and pickles. Hot sauce. Hot sauce was involved and made a wondrous thing even more wondrous.
That's really all I can write about in this review because the deliciousness eclipses just about every other detail... well, except for the fact that the staff is the sweetest and the deceptively humble environs is endearing to regulars and new customers alike. You'd never expect to encounter a life changing sandwich here so that makes me love Le Pick-Up even more!
I'm, as we speak, making plans to return to Montreal in a couple months so that I can have daily access to this sandwich. My days will revolve around eating this sandwich. I cannot imagine ever being the same again if I can't have this sandwich.
