Montreal loves food festivals. We basically live for them. It's true that our summer days are completely jammed with a foodie's paradise left and right. It's what the city is known for and we should all be pretty proud of it.

It's pretty heartbreaking, which is why luckily this year is going to be a bit different. If you love all things meat, beer and celebration then this is the event for you.

And if you thought it couldn't get any better, you'll have no problem finding tons of beer to help you wash down all that food. This is seriously a foodie's dream come true!
