Yes possible... this sugar shack is the one of Martin Picard (from the restaurant in Montreal with the same name: Au pied de cochon)...

C'est un chef cuisinier juissant d'une certaine réputation (à tout le moins chez les francophones)...

Mais moi tsé les chefs cuisinier je leur laisse leur cuisine et leur resto pis je fais la mienne. Ça me vire à l'envers de voir leur prix sur le menu... je suis pas capable quand un repas pour 2 personnes coûte la même chose que ce que je dépense en moyenne par semaine pour nourrir ma famille de 6 :shrug:

@ Ontest, je suis allé à La Goudrelle avec l'école secondaire (il y a 20 ans) et j'avais exactement l'impression d'être un animal qu'on voulait remplir et voir partir vite, vite, vite pour nourrir le prochain troupeau. Mes soeurs sont allées la semaine dernière dans une cabane "moins" commerciale. Résultat: elles ont payé 15$ par personne pour du bacon frit dans la vieille graisse, des oeufs possiblement de l'avant-veille et autres choses dégueulasses. Et que dire des "à-côtés"; il y avait une mini-ferme (1 chèvre, 2 boucs) une promenade en calèche (le tour du petit stationnement) et j'en passe. De quoi dégoûter les enfants à vie de la cabane.

Does it was Au pied de cochon sugar shack? Anyway for me all those place are too pricey and too much for "flashy people"

PS: ok I did a google search, this is probably that sugar shack because this is exactly the price I saw if you click on "menu" and this is "taxes & pourboires non-compris"

Lol!
du vrai vol, même si c'est Martin Picard. Malheureusement, c'est plus possibe d'aller à la cabane avec une famille comme la mienne. C'est bien trop cher. Et si jamais t'as un endroit à me conseiller, j'ai aucun problème avec ça.

There's a new contest on french blog. 10$ in Jean Coutu gift-card.

I went once to a sugar shack not long after coming to Montreal. We went as a group from my university's French class. It was exactly as some of you depicted above: low quality food, fast-food resto type, get in, get out, some lame music. I was left wondering why people like going year after year LOL.

Martin Picard has made quite the business out of it though. Just yesterday I was leafing through his sugar shack "book" at Renaud Bray. Book costs a fortune too :P To me, while his stuff is certainly edible (I mean, how would it not, with all the fat and yum stuff he puts into his recipes LOL), it's like a heart attack on a plate! I can't imagine the arteries of those people who go to Pied du cochon on a regular basis!

I remember when Anthony Bourdain shot an episode at that restaurant. I'd never seen him like that before, ready to pass out! They gave him like 11 plates of food all centered around foie gras and then a whole pig :lolsign: He was in a lot of pain!

Man, what type of sugar shacks do you guys go to? LOL

The one in Rigaud is owned by a guy who looks like Santa Claus, the music is really good old fashioned Quebecois fiddle music and the cost is $27 per person, kids eat free.

La Goudrelle is about $16 a person but kids are not free and when you have one as small as Kiera $10 or whatever is was is a total rip off

There is a .75 cent Almond Fresh coupon on Websaver, if anyone is not going to use it I would appreciate it if you could order it for me and maybe I can pick it up at the next meetup.

ok, have you guys seen the Scrubbing Bubbles extend-a-clean automatic trigger or refills anywhere for less than $6? I really want them since they do a good job at cleaning the shower and I have the $5 coupons.

I really can't justify spending $9 (less the coupon) on this.

I just order 2 for you. Please remember me to give them to you at the next meeting.

Ditto, but... I don't about you guys but my websaver orders take much longer (2-3 weeks) to arrive than save.ca :shrug:

It depends what the coupon is but somtimes it's as little as one week. Some of the Facebook offers come fast.

BTW Super C has free juice WUB pop deal again lol
