Schwartz's Deli [Montreal, Quebec]

       This was our last meal on our trip and we went to Schwartz Deli in Montreal for smoked meat sandwich. We ordered a side of fries on the side as well and a massive pickle that were as juicy as Teddy's which is a local restaraunt here in my hometown. 

      The food review: the meat had a bunch of fat on it but no problem we removed it off the sandwich. Such a very messy sandwich but as I always say "messier the better." Fries very crispy and very good, reminds me of New York Fries but a bit thinnerl still very, very good. I would give it a generous 9 out of 10.

      Also we met a young couple from Brooklyn New York visiting Montreal and we got chatting with them. Also some locals from the city of Montreal and province of Quebec. Was a nice way to end the trip in the province as we were heading home on the same day which is ironic, this post is up a week after I am home from vaca. Anyways one more review coming up later in the evening here on the blog so stay tuned and talk soon.

Poor Man's Pudding [Quebec Style]

          I was excited to try this and of course this is obviously French style dessert and it is hard to describe the taste, I think there was either maple or carmel in it and I found it bland, I wasn't too pleased and even with the vanilla ice cream I just didn't enjoy it as I really thought. It's OK too because you cannot enjoy every dish or dessert.

           The rating for this dish is a 7 out of 10, it wasn't my favorite french dessert but was good enough for a 7 out of 10. Would I have it again, probably not but that's ok like I mentioned, you cannot enjoy everything. That is the review for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow for one more post.

The CBOTW Show...

         The layout of The CBOTW Show main feed is unchanged but we will not be on YouTube obviously but I am working on something that will change the face of this company. I will be embedding or trying to embed a video player on our website with the site we have moved to. My show with JBird will be live but Bob and I & Larry I remain pre-recorded for our shows moving in the future.

Now Reality TV wise there is only 2 shows on our network right now and I feel like it's not the perfect fit to stream it as of right now and I even mentioned it in the bio of the podcast and it is actually an audio only platform and we are going to keep it this way. I know that Mary and I have spoken about posting the episodes to Mac and Cheese Podcast but we haven't gone any further with that at the moment. I will have a conversation with her further so the Reality TV end it is staying Audio ONLY for now but no live show. Anyways sorry for such a late post but as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

First Time trying Panacotta. [Dessert Food Review]

             During my trip, I decided to try something new and to be honest I only gained a pound from the entire trip which isn't that bad but I tried Pannacotta which I've heard a lot about especially from a certain cooking competition called "Masterchef."  The look of it looks very good but the first initial look of it and trust me I was excited to trying this dish. I  went right for the gusto and I found it very creamy and good. I love the strawberries as an added and the strawberries were very sweet as they should be at this time of the year.

         Every bite I just enjoyed the smoothness of the Pannacotta. The coolio or sauce was sweet and very smooth as well and really enjoyed it.This exceeded what I expected and I would do this dessert again in the nearby future. This review gets a 15 out of 10. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Vacation 2026 [Montreal-Quebec City]

           I can say this: traveling is very stressful and I found a way to mitigate this by accessing my iphone hotspot and using it on my iPad really does a heck of a lot of distracting for me so I found myself either catching up on YouTube videos or continuing on with the Discord build which isn't fully finished and I have other pressing matters like moving my screens and setup over and getting this all finalized as right now I am not recording anything new and hope to get it all finished soon so I can press forward.

           Anyways, basically did the same things in Quebec City but always nice to go back and visit and see family but this year we added in Montreal which we were there to have a night over as we split our time and didn't get time to look around much but we also went back and I got to see the Montreal Canadian's arena "Bell Centre" where they play which was really cool and we couldn't find the Forum as it was hard to find but that's OK. Anyways it was stressful trip and in the end and that is the first post of the day and I will talk to you all at 11 am EST.

We're Definitely Pumping the Gas HARD!

            I am back from vacation and I will chat about it tomorrow and several reviews the rest of the week plus I wanted to update you guys so bad when I was on vacation and I sort of did while away but it was subtle hint that was given to you guys. However we are pumping the gas pedal hard now with The CBOTW Show and The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recaps taking full force and Live shows planned and what not. 

         The foot isn't coming off the gas anytime soon and this is only the start and we will be revealing more things later in the week with a possible Saturday bonus post that may be later then we expect. Anyways we are going full throttle and I have even thought about optimizing the website for both YouTube and Spotify which means possible layout changes but it will be worth it in the end if we need to go that route. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

Website & Podcast Work Galore

               It is not a lot of work just the website but Chris is planning to get actual custom made forms for the website working and he has a very better knowledge of how it works now and nobody helped him with that nor the chatroom that was suppose to be here on the website. He has been dabbling more and more into coding and he's enjoyed tinkering with the code to make it the way he wants it done. So the forms we have right now are temporary but hope by the fall to have it all updated to the new one.

               Chris has recorded a bunch more episodes for the podcast and he might not have it all edited but this week, he's posted less as he has been away but soon as he gets back,  he will be editing everything that he hasn't edited yet and the reason why he's been busy with friends which is understandable but he's gotten a bunch of work done but once he's back, it's full throttle both with Bob and his episodes, Larry and his episodes and his solo episodes he will have a ton of stuff going up including Reality TV Recaps as well. I'm not sure which one he's wanting to do this summer and I couldn't tell you and it almost sounds like it will be more Amazing Race Canada and eventually Amazing Race US.

 

Talk soon,
