I stayed in the Joe Beef Lodge above the restaurant - Awesome place reserved for family and friends. Anthony Bourdain was staying in the room next to me and Jimmy Kimmel had just checked out of the room in which I stayed the morning I arrived.
Nova Scotia Oysters - the BEST I've ever had in my life!
Smoked Prime Rib - Not rib roast like 99% of prime rib really is...this is dry-aged 90 days and smoked for 12 hours. Its like butter and is outrageous!
Pork belly and foie gras topped with maple syrup on fried custard bread
Homemade strawberry ice cream topped with homemade caramels, bread pudding, crispy penko and mint. the best dessert ive had in my life without anything else ever coming close.
Waiting for dinner enjoying some wine at Vin Papillon, owned by the same geniuses that own Joe Beef. I shared a bottle of sparkling wine with Ottavia Bourdain and she introduced me to some incredible wines. We ate smoked duck and pate and a variety of other things I wish I could remember.
your point being? ive known her for 3 years. I was there in June and september and again in late october. did my post say when i was there or just "my most recent"???
When I was there Bruce Willis was having dinner. Last summer the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were there for dinner. Joe Beef is one of the top rated restaurants in the world. People go to Montreal just to have dinner there. I grew up in LA and Im there every month since 2004. My entire family works in the studios. I happen to often be where celebrities hang out.
