I was not going to say anything, but since you started, in the world of high-end audio Bose is considered low-fi. Check out the discussion forum at www.audiogon.com.

I'll second that !

Darn! About a month ago I bought 4 Michelin X-Ices at full price from Canadian Tire; oh well, I had them when I really needed them, and they are great. For anyone who purchased winter tires more recently, they have a 14-day money-back guarantee if the tires go on sale within that period.

Don't forget to let us know here where you went and what you thought about the place.

At Europea, for 2 people I have paid $180 for the Table d'Hote, 2 glasses of Sancerre each, taxes, and tip.

Beav: there was obviously a "race" condition between my editing my post and you submitting yours.

Beav, he did say (and I quote), "cost is not a big issue", so yes, I don't "give two shits" (though I don't usually use profanity) about his wallet. :D He did say $40 - $50 per entree; Europe's 5-course table d'hote is about $47, which is well within his budget.

If you are willing to forego the eye candy, I suggest Europea, on de la Montage (also close to the Sheraton). Try their 9-course tasting menu with matching wines. I have no idea about how well they make a martini, but their food is superb. Check it out at www.europea.ca

Does their paella have the bottom layer of rice nicely crusted (called "soccarat") ?

Soft-Shell Crab I had soft-shell crab (one of my many food passions) at Beijing (prepared with either black pepper or a mix of peppers), and was unimpressed. I also tried it at Toyo, and again was unimpressed. Does anyone have any recommendations for a restaurant in Montreal that does it well...

A "Lazy Susan" ? ;) This is standard at any Chinese restaurant.

Le Meridien Versailles I recently stayed at Le Meridien Versailles (Sherbrooke & St. Mathieu), in a room on an Executive Floor (elevator key access required for the 3 Executive Floors). I was not impressed. The building is old and there are only 2 elevators (only 14 floors though). The room was...

This is a bit off-topic, but supposedly one of the really difficult things about conducting Bolero is ensuring that you do not speed up the tempo as you approach the orgasmic end; it is supposed to stay the same all through.

I'm beginning to notice a trend. Eager Beaver is concerned about the plight of the chickens we eat. On merb chat he expressed concern about the plight of lobsters that are boiled, and ducks that are force-fed for foie gras. He did not express concern, however, for the pigs whose throats are...

If you're willing to pay for valet parking you could eat at any hotel restaurant, but that's a compromise on the food (especially at the "W", where valet parking is $40, and the food is bad). Why not use the money instead on a cab and eat at a good restaurant? One Friday I drove around for at...

A lot of people (me included) consider that expensive, but I don't mind paying the price if the food is exceptional.

But the Four Points also has valet parking only. Unless it has been updated in the last 2 years, I found it rather run-down when I was last there.

What do you mean by "lobster bisque 3 ways" ?

This is not the recipe thread. Need I point out that the best chefs are male ? And yes, chefs do "have sex" :D
