Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ed Hawco (also known as Blork) are preparing to leave Le Cheval Blanc so that they can eat some hamburgers at the Legendary Montreal Institution Restaurant Philippe. Julie Rondeau, one of the best chefs in town has joined them because she has been making changes to the menu at Le Cheval Blanc.

In today's episode, while thay are walking down the street Zeke explains what a smashburger is, Blork gets all misty eyed and poetic about how wonderful and great the hamburgers at Restaurant Philippe are. And our heroes recognize it will be a momentous occasion because the previous time they had visited they had brought the restaurant reviewer from the Montreal Gazette with them and it was good.
