I firmly believe that any food gets infinitely better when you place the word "barbecue" in front of it. Case in point? Chicken. Regular chicken's cool and all, but barbecue chicken? Mind-blowing.

Pulled pork is one of the best comfort foods around. It's messy, it's delicious, and it's guaranteed to make you fall into the happiest food coma of your life. The pork is cooked slowly at a low temperature so that the meat becomes super tender and can be pulled off into smaller pieces. It's then mixed with a delicious sauce and served to you on a bun, and, really, what could be better than that?

Yes, we have M4, Burritoville, and Burritoshop, but that's pretty much it when it comes to getting a baby-sized burrito. Thankfully the owners of Blackstrap BBQ will now be filling the city's Chipotle-sized void with their newly opened burrito-resto Tejano BBQ Burrito in St. Henri.

Two things Montreal does well is weed and food. We've got a hell of a food culture here, and a cannabis culture that is nearly on par. Go to tam-tams anytime during the summer and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Out in Colorado, where the green stuff is now legal, a sushi shop got the awesome idea to do a weed-food pairing, a way better version of the classic wine pairing.
