Comment on Brief Updates from MBHQ by Laura Roberts

K: If you think the site should be more frequently updated, you might want to consider writing for Metblogs. It’s infrequently updated because there are very few contributors. To build a community, you have to take an active part. So instead of criticizing, why not step up to the plate?

People visit the site regardless of how often it’s updated. People place ads for visiters to see. It’s pretty simple really.

This site is barely updated. Why would a business, especially a small one, want to pay to have an ad on an inactive website?

Serious question here.

It’s ABOUT TIME the registration was removed for comments. Its DAVE ID policy to never comment on a site that requires registration. Now I can comment again YAY!

Hmmmm… okay, here are my faves:

Beer – I dunno, I hate beer. But for drinks? Brutopia is very nice.

Breakfast – B&M

Burgers – my house (no one can match my awesome burger-making abilities!)

Cafe – I have a bunch, but downtown I like Kafeïn

Cajun/Creole – I’ve never tried Cajun/Creole food, unless you count the gumbo a friend made me in Baton Rouge….

Caribbean – Again, I’m not familiar with any Caribbean place in MTL.

Chinese – Wok Café

Crepes – Hmm. I don’t think I’ve sampled any crepes in Montreal, oddly enough.

Deli – No Montreal deli can compare to any deli in NYC. PERIOD.

English/Irish – Gross. Who the eff actually likes/eats English or Irish food?

Fondue – Again, this is a food that just isn’t done.

French – No thank you.

German/Austrian/Polish – I’ve only tried the Polish at Kalinka, and the service was terrible, so I can’t recommend it. Try the pierogies from Supermarché PA instead.

Greek – Meh.

Indian – DADs Bagels

Italian – Please. I can make better Italian food in my kitchen than any Italian resto in this damn town.

Japanese/Sushi – Aka Fuji

Lebanese – Boustan

Mexican/Tex-Mex – Mesa 14

North African – ??

Pastries – anyplace that makes chocolatines = good.

Pizza – Fine Pointe

Portugese – no idea

Poutine – La Banquise

Quebecois – As if! There are no "Quebecois" food items that are worth consuming.

Ribs – Haven’t looked.

Salads – No one in Montreal knows how to make a proper Caesar salad for under $10, because everyone here is out to rip you off.

Sandwiches – So many to choose from, but I’ll say Santropol because theirs are quite original.

Seafood – There is no decent seafood in Montreal. Fete de homard is a JOKE!

Steak – Home-made.

Thai – Bangkok

Vietnamese – Pho Bac
