10.5 lbs of beef. That is amazing. I guess it can be eaten by several
people.

Around here the local Indian casinos all serve a huge hamburger but,
judging by the size it might have 3 or 4 lbs of beef in it. I've never
been depressed enough to try it.

I go to lunch with a guy who takes me to a Chinese all you can eat
buffet (His car) and he can put away about 5 full plates and 3 refills
of Cherry Pepsi but even he couldn't handle a 10.5 pound burger. My
other friend at 6'8" wouldn't even try it, since he likes to be able to
move after lunch.

There is a restaurant in Amarillo, Texas, on highway 40 that offers a 72
ounce steak free if you can eat all of it in one hour. If you can't you
just bought a $40 steak and a doggy bag. They tell me about 300 people
have done it out of many thousands who have tried, me included. It
doesn't sound that big until you see the waitress with the big arms
bringing a steak that hangs over both ends of a large plate. They make
money on it due to the $40 losers price and the number of people who
will try it. That was years ago so it might be a $50 steak by now.

There's a restaurant here called Cosmo, known for it's greasy spoon
type breakfasts. We say that the food is flavored with shnotz and
cigarette smoke.LOL. Their specialty is the MISHMASH OMELET:
bacon
salami
ham
sausage
tomatoes
onions
eight eggs
served with potatoes

YUM! You can slide home on the grease.

Now that sounds like a decent breakfast to me. It's hard to find a good
greasy spoon breakfast place. There's a great one in Hull. Err Gatineau
I mean.

This is montreal, known for greasy restaurants as well as fine and
fancy ones. On one of my bike routes, I pass by another such
restaurant, the King George. In the mornings it smells like bacon as
you pass by.The rest of the day it emanates a smell of grease that
probably dates back to the DAYS of king george. It's right at the
intersection of highway 20 and st jacques- an intersection I call 'the
intersection of Doom' because i got hit by a car there once.

What first surprised me about breakfast in Montreal was the side of
baked beans and scoop of cole-slaw served with it.

I soon found out that if you're not too fussy about where you eat,
everything comes with cole-slaw.

I remember going to eat at a Jewish Deli a few years back. Their
specialty was beef brisket sandwich, although they had the other usual
sort of sandwiches you might expect to find there. I really enjoyed my
meal.

It seems like it was a very well known local sort of place. IIRC, it
was in or near a residential neighborhood out a little ways from
downtown. Anyhow, I think we parked on a nearby residential street but
perhaps I'm confused with somewhere else.

Do you know the name of the shop that I patronized ?? I'd like to visit
there again next time I get to Montreal.

Schwartz's on Blvd. St.Laurent.
Try their mixed grill too. The "Main", was just across the street and
pretty good too. Open 24 hrs in case you're too late for Schwartz's

That could have been Schwartz's, it's the most famous deli in town and
the way you describe it and the neighborhood makes be believe that's
where you were. That place has been around for ever.

Sadly, there aren't very many real delis around anymore. I wish there
were.I really miss going into a deli where they have salamis hanging
and cheese hanging and pickles and smelly jewish sandwiches. Every
time they close a deli they open some boring yuppie place or a Second
****. Schwartz is one of the last. My parents lived in that
neighorhood and everyone went there! I lived a few blocks from
schwartz years ago but now it's so expensive only yuppies live around
there.

It could also have been Wilensky's, but I think they've closed down.
I'm not sure.

The last time i went to the main it was terrible. The food and service
had really declined in recent years. It used to be pretty good, but
whoever the managers were then were doing a crappy job.
