Howdy!
Le Faste Fou Part 3 (12:11); (MP3 18MB / FLAC 78MB / Ogg Vorbis 11MB / Stream)
Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ed (Blork) Hawco get back on track and get settled into a table at Faste Fou. They discuss the beer menu, and the originality (or not) of the concept of Faste Fou. Then they take a closer look at the food menu, which is vast (perhaps too vast). There's a lot to choose from, including a burger with peanut butter (According to Zeke not quite the best thing to put on your hamburger). Zeke likes 'em sloppy. Blork likes 'em classic. Which way will they go?

Montreal Burger Report: Le Faste Fou Part 2
Howdy!
Le Faste Fou Part 2 (12:47); (MP3 18MB / FLAC 80MB / Ogg Vorbis 11MB / Stream)
Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ed (Blork) Hawco find some cracks in the belle visage of Gainzbar while trying to decide whether the Montreal Burger Report is impressionistic or expressionistic and then get into a discussion of the finer points of what makes for a good bar experience, along with trying to figure out the concept and process of the Montreal Burger Report. Just when you think there'll be no talk of any actual physical and three dimensional burgers they venture out into the cold (this was taped in January) only to get sidetracked again...

Montreal Burger Report: Le Faste Fou Part 1
Howdy!
Le Faste Fou Part 1 (10:40); (MP3 19MB / FLAC 77MB / Ogg Vorbis 11MB / Stream)
Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ed (Blork) Hawco head over to the Plaza St. Hubert for beers and burgers. Their first stop is Gainzbar, a wickedly lush boudoir-like watering hole. In Part 1 the guys discuss the bar, the whole crazy Plaza St. Hubert thing, and their expectations for the fare on offer across the street at restaurant Le Faste Fou.

Montreal Burger Report: Dilallo Burger Part 4
Howdy!
Dilallo Burger Part 4 (11:39); (MP3 15MB / FLAC 6MB / Ogg Vorbis 9MB / Stream)
Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ed (Blork) Hawco continue to discuss the decor at Dilallo Burger on Notre-Dame Ouest, and Blork declares the crumble factor of his Dilallo burger to be "perfect." On his way back from checking the plumbing, Blork spies something in the kitchen that explains the perfect crumble. (You need to listen to the podcast to find out!)
Chris's Verdict
Two words: Absolutely Scrumptious. If you'd like something a little more detailed. They are extremely good burgers. They are great burgers. The only reason I can't say that they are the best burgers in Montreal is because I refuse to saddle anything with the label "Best of." That said, I highly, highly recommend and strongly, strongly suggest that you go and eat one or two, or three, or more) of their hamburgers as soon as you can.
The Dilallo burgers I ate were delicious. They're freshly made to order, and they're not gussied up with silly stuff. I recommend you skip the lettuce and tomato and focus on the beautiful burger simplicity. The beef is fresh and has a perfect crumble factor, although it would be even better if there were a bit more crust. The bun is, at first glance, nothing special, but in fact it's my preferred type. I'm not crazy about big brioche style buns, or huge Kaisers. This is a nice soft, pliable white bread bun; perfect for holding your burger together but not in any way competing with it for attention. Dilallo Burgers are not fancy, and that's half the reason why they're so good.
Address: Various. The one we went to is at 2523 rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montreal. (See clickable map, below.)
Phone: 514-934-0818
