Easily one of the most gluttonous plates of food that exists.
Josh and I headed up to Montreal for a few days with the main intention of having a meal or two at the acclaimed and insane Au Pied de Cochon. While we had two incredible dinners (in 3 nights) at this shrine to all things pig, all things foie gras, all things delicious, this pictured above, the actual Pied de Cochon was just ridiculous. This pig’s trotter which actually encompasses the trotter and an extra six inches into the rest of the leg, it braised slowly, the breaded and pan fried, served atop of a giant bed of potato puree, covered in about 3 cups of a sauce consisting of onions, mushrooms, thyme, and tomatoes and garnished with a perfectly seared eight ounce piece of foie gras. While watching huge portion after enourmous plate leave the kitchen I got to a point where I just wanted to strangle the cooks and demand they tell me what the hell they are doing serving food so pornngraphically. It is as if they are actually trying to induce an early death. But truth be told, what a way to go!
