I know the laundry list of food that I adore is pretty long. Basically, anything with seafood, and anything a little raw, I'm an absolute fiend for. So, as you can imagine, tartare is pretty much one of my many food baes.

For most people trying to stay health conscious, the quintessential "cheat" day is one day of the week that you let go of all inhibitions, and dive right into your favourite foods, irrespective of the calories involved. I personally like to call this my treat day instead, because, for one thing it sounds more positive, and second, I think we should all treat ourselves a little more. That's where these restaurants come in. They've got tons of delicious, creamy, salty and sweet creations that veer as far from your diet as humanly possible. And guess what? That's ok - because what is a cheat day for if you can't go all out? Time to indulge, friends.

Last week someone stole a piglet statue from Bar Brutus. I believe the appropriate word is: Pignapped. The Montreal restaurant wrote on their Facebook page that they needed help to track down the Pignapper. If she did not return the precious piglet, they would publish her picture on their Facebook group. However if she did return it, there would be no consequences other than some friendly teasing.

Well, the pig has officially been returned and Bar Brutus wants to thanks everyone who helped in the most appropriate way possible: FREE BACON.

When it comes to going out for brunch, as soon as I see Eggs Benedict on the menu there's really no need to look any further, because that's exactly what I'll be having. This classic American breakfast is a delicious combination of poached eggs, ham, english muffin, and hollandaise sauce that comes together to hit the spot every time.

There are a few conflicting origin stories of this dish but the one I choose to believe (because it has held true for myself time and time again) is that is was created as a cure for a hangover by a man at the Waldorf Hotel in 1894. What's that you say? It's not only an incredibly tasty and filling meal but it also serves a very important purpose? Sign me up.

Bar Brutus is always inventing crazy bacon creations and they rarely disappoint. Notable examples include the all bacon brunch, the bacon poutine bowl, the bacon s'mores sandwich, the bacon salad bowl and of course the bacon sushi roll.

But now they have truly outdone themselves by adding bacon where it just doesn't belong, and somehow they make it work. Presenting the bacon salmon tartar:

The geniuses at Bar Brutus have done it again. As a gift to mankind they decided to create a Stanley Cup replica made entirely of bacon. A whole 22-pounds of bacon to be exact. So I guess we didn't have to wait until the end of the hockey season to bring the cup home.

In fact I think I might like this bacon cup better. Maybe it's because this cup is temporary, it won't last forever and it will eventually spoil so it seems more precious compared to the real Stanley cup which is made of much more durable materials. Also it could go at any time because who knows when some drunken idiot will leap across the bar to devour the crispy trophy.

Bar Brutus, the little bar in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie is known for its baconey creations (Is baconey a word? who cares, we're making it a word). You may remember them from such posts as the Bacon Pulled Pork Breakfast Poutine and The Bacon Bowl Poutine. Well now they've turned they attention to Shepherd's Pie. It may look like an ordinary Shepherd's Pie, or as we call it: Pâté Chinois, but this dish has a little secret that makes it worthy of the name Party Chinois.

Brunch is meant to be filling, and at it's best, incredibly greasy and indulgent. Let's be real here folks, if you're having brunch, it's probably the weekend, and if it's the weekend, you're probably hungover, and if you're hungover you will need some comfort food to cut the hangover woes. That's just how the equation goes.

Bacon has, and always shall be, an integral aspect of brunch. Hardly a meal where you "keep it light," brunch needs to be greasy and filling, to help your hangover and also function as the sole meal eaten on the weekend. Brutus, Montreal's renowned bacon bar, understands this rule-of-brunch and has taken bacon & brunch to the next level with their newly launched all-bacon brunch menu.

When you're eating poutine, you've basically stopped thinking about any dietary restrictions or eating "healthy." All that cheese, gravy, and fried potato can hardly be described as a well-balanced meal, but who cares, because poutine is delicious. So in the spirit of not giving any fucks about what you're eating, we introduce to you the bacon bowl poutine by Brutus.
