The smoked meat debate - Tiger weighs in.

Montreal is famous for smoked meat - but it is not really smoked meat, more a spiced beef that they serve in the famous places. Places like Schwartz's on Saint Laurent.

I like the place, I really do, but I am tired of seeing it lined up all the time, when right across the street, The Main, where the smoked meat is exactly the same, has lots of seats.

So this last trip to Montreal (watching Tiger Woods et al strut their stuff) I went to the Main twice. Schwartz's was lined up outside both days.

Here is a picture of Tiger telling Charles Howell III exactly the same thing.




Don't worry about that lineup, man, just pop across to The Main. I hear it is even the same owner!

come on, there's no comparison between Schwartz's and The Main's meat. The appeal of the Main is late night deli food, not smoked meat, with beer (even if it is only Boreale).

Schwartz's meat is far better than anywhere else in Montreal.

How long since you had the Smoked Meat at the Main? Rumour has it they are both now owned by the same company.
