(Duck Carpaccio @ Au Pied de Cochon)
Au Pied de Cochon is a Montreal restaurant that specializes in pork, foie gras, duck and Quebecois items. The food is known for being heavy, hearty and outrageous - food that you can't have everyday, at least not without a heart bypass every now and then. Preparing for the meal the boyfriend and I ate like rabbits and had gym workouts that could rival that of any UFC champions. We arrived at the restaurant starving and full of adventure. With the menu featuring several tempting items and our waitress listing off what seemed to be 10 minutes worth of daily specials, it took us a while to create a strategy for our meal. Over beer and sparkling water we carefully planned our attack.
