St-Hubert just added fried chicken to their menu, and it's already a big hit. You can order it to go, have it delivered or eat it in dining rooms — but don't take too long picking a side dish, because this crispy goodness is available only for a limited time.

Ever since Premier François Legault cancelled Christmas gatherings in Quebec red zones, Quebecers have expressed a whole gamut of emotions on the internet. From memes comparing Legault to the Grinch to social media posts poking fun at him for suggesting we "take naps" instead of gathering, disappointment is in the air.

But aside from Legault's suggestions, few people seem to be discussing what Quebecers CAN do to mark the occasion this year, and what the holidays will actually look like.

Everybody knows that Montreal cafés take pastry-making seriously. And we don't take it lightly. When it comes to food, go big or go home, right?

But sometimes to make a big impression, you gotta go small. Miniature even.
