Classy.
And, I also have to note how surprised I am by all the positive affirmations of Joe Beef. I've been twice, and was never impressed by the cooking, just felt way over-indulgent, even by Montreal standards. Am I bring a skinny prude? (Hahaha, folks who met me at VIP-1 know I'm anything but skinny...) But maybe I need to give it another try. Third time's the charm??
