The Main Deli has suddenly closed shop.

Unfortunately, I’ve never been but as the article says, the Main had swayed from what gave its smoked meat the type of quality customers craved — which was to smoke it in-house. Same for its other offerings that used to be prepped on the spot.
Key to continuing to enjoy quality smoked meat are those other locations that the article points out:
Rastelli said there are few spots remaining on the island to get authentic, in-house smoked meat.
Among those that remain are Schwartz's and Lester's, but they are few and far between, he said.
Rastelli said Delibee's, in Pointe-Claire, run by Philip Varvaro, and Smoked Meat Pete's, in L'Île Perrot, which is run by Peter Varvaro's other son, are the two spots that are keeping the original The Main recipe alive.
I’ve been to Lester’s and would not go back. Extremely pricy and the portions are small. Schwartz’s is an obvious choice but it’s difficult to park in the adjoining area and in the summer, you’re battling long lineups.
I’d much rather drive to the other two locations, Delibee and Smoked Meat Pete.

What on Earth Is a Smoothie Sour Beer? - The Manual
The smoothie sour comes after a long trend towards cloudier, more mysterious beers in the craft scene. Here's what you need to know about the latest style.
www.themanual.com
It tastes more like juice with a little bit of beer flavouring in it too. I love both beer and cocktails, so something that's a combination of the two can be good. It's worth trying if you ever come across one, I'd say.
So it seems it is,learn something new everyday! Perhaps I'll give it whirl when it comes across me,I suspect it's not a beverage that one would be able to consume vast amounts of,like a traditional beer? more in the way a cocktail would be nursed?It is!

There are times when you know it's gonna be a marathon and traditional beer can keep flowing endlessly for me with no repercussions.
The main one huh? they have secondary ones?lol
Saw the pics,thought it was 1967! Do the pics make it look like a dump or it really was?

Yeah. it's not a type of a beer I'll drink a lot of at once. Especially since it'll cost like $6-8 per can usually.
You drink the good / expensive stuff at first, and then by the end of the night, you drink the cheap stuff. Gotta be smart with your binge drinking!

I knew a guy who only bought from this place. I’m going to have to try it before it’s gone forever.

I made boneless short ribs tonight as per this recipe: Oven-Braised Boneless Short Ribs
Prep was easy (10 mins), just combine the ingredients for the vinaigrette, apply and cook in the oven for 3 hours.
The meat gives out a ton of juice, which I used for dipping every bite. The juice was so tasty that I drank the excess and scooped it clean with bread.
Unlike the last time I did this, I used regular sea salt instead of Kosher salt and was a lot less liberal with it. Last time it came out super salty so I learned my lesson.

Took ''sheila'' for mothers( granny) day? for a tasting and pairing,topnotch even the rounds I didn't care for,looked great!
Started with an apricot mai tai,first time hearing of an apricot version,would make a great punch.Now to find the proper formula as the ingredients were specified on the menu but not the measurements.

1 tablespoon kosher salt? seems like a lot imo. Maybe a misprint,1 teaspoon should be adequate.
Rule of thumb I thought was when calling for kosher and it's substituted with regular salt,cut in half.

Agreed. It was salty as hell last time so I completely avoided it. Used a light sprinkle of sea salt on all sides and got a great result.

Following up on the above, I finally tried L’Hamburger on St-Zotique, not far from Little Italy.
It was really on a whim as my first choice was Schwartz’s but at around 1 PM, there were already 16 people lined up in front and one of them was taking pics of the Schwartz’s sign, so the usual tourists are making it impossible to go there.
I had a basic smash burger at L’Hamburger which contains two patties, prepped on their narrow hot plate. Person who served behind the counter was super nice. There is no service at the tables. You pay at the counter and they prep it in front of you and serve it on a tray. Not expensive and burger melted in my mouth. A bit of a greasy aftertaste but worth it. There is some seating but it’s not abundant. It’s an eat and go place.
Always error on under seasoning with salt as it can always be added later,otherwise just might have a dish that is inedible.
She just did this for likes probably but still …
WTF! why,just why? lol.
I found out about Delibees over 10 years ago, it's the best. I've listed it in here often times. I don't think Lesters smokes in house, I'm pretty sure like Snowdon it's done by a 3rd Party. I find Lesters and Snowdon way too mushy, rubbery, it doesn't have the right consistency. But a lot of people like it be cause it's "tender", but the process isn't the OG.

Some smoothie sours are great. But it's not something I'd suggest drinking more than a can per session, because that's a whole lot of unfermented sugars.

Any wine suggestions for beef ribs on a smoker?
Also curious to hear for any other wine suggestions.

A good Zinfandel works here as does a Gamay noir. It depends on seasoning. Barolo and Cab Merlot works too.
