Despite living in Montreal my entire life I had never eaten at Schwartz's - until yesterday! It's amazing how some places get famous and other's don't because it really is a hole in the wall.

The metal vents and pipes on the ceiling look like they're going to collapse however the smoked meat sandwiches are to die for. I guess the fear of being crushed to death is overshadowed by good old fashioned greasy comfort food.

I ordered a medium (the fat feeds the flavour so no lean meat for me!) smoked meat sandwich, fries, a pickle, and a black cherry cola.

My friends say Schwartz's smoked meat melts in your mouth, I say they should rename their sandwiches to "orgasms on rye".
