Good day and welcome to episode 91 of the Montreal Burger Report. David Ferguson owner and chef at Le Jolifou still has the microphone and has successfully prevented any sound effects from happening. He is in the middle of explaining how and why he changed the concept of Le Jolifou from fine dining to roadhouse. And then finally our heroes are able to wrestle the microphone away so they can get down and eat! E Coli goes undercover and our heroes decide to order some chicken wings, cole slaw, a buttnaked burger and an all dressed burger. They then discuss the Ferguson's living arrangements and what public transportation to use to get to the restaurant while waiting for the food to arrive.

The bar at Le Jolifou

In real life E Coli and Zeke went to Le Jolifou and then afterward Zeke went and interviewed David Ferguson. But to make a more entertaining and enjoyable Montreal Burger Report experience we have artfully spliced things together so that David Ferguson explained things first. What you hear next happened a week before what you just finished hearing.

Chicken Wings at Le Jolifou

Thank you very much for listening to episode 91 of the Montreal Burger Report where David Ferguson owner and chef at Le Jolifou finally got off the microphone and let our heroes order. Will they ever get to eat? Where's the mayo? and what about the service? Find the answer to these and other questions next week in episode 92 of Montreal Burger Report. Same Burger time, same burger channel.

Seems like Philippe Mollé and the Montreal Burger Report think alike. He wrote about La Paryse in last Friday's Le Devoir. Once we have finished with Le Jolifou, La Paryse is next on the schedule.

Sounds like an awesome burger

Howdy!

From the Freakonomics Podcast,

You cook it [sous-vide style] to perfect medium rare, then you dunk it in liquid nitrogen, which freezes the outside. Then we deep-fry it. We pop it in a deep fryer. Or we use a torch on it, a blowtorch. And either one will give you this incredible crusty outside, but because you put it in liquid nitrogen that prevents it from over cooking, so you get the perfect medium-rare hamburger.

Good day and welcome to episode 90 of the Montreal Burger Report. David Ferguson owner and chef at Le Jolifou still has the microphone. He starts off by explaining how he became enamored of flavors, and how that affects his sauces and condiments. Which then leads into a discussion about the globalization of the food chain and the locavore movement. Along the way he discusses seasoning, carrots, and the sauces he makes.

Good day and welcome to episode 89 of the Montreal Burger Report. We're going to play this one fairly straight, because we turn the microphone and pretty much the entire episode over to David Ferguson owner and chef at Le Jolifou, and we're not certain how he feels about sound effects. He starts off by explaining how he and his wife Helene got the name Jolifou from a Cornelius Krieghoff painting.

David Ferguson owner and chef at Le Jolifou then goes to explain just about everything you needed to know about the meat. While making small tangents to discuss the concepts and ideas of making authentic food and what exactly a Roadhouse is.

Good day and welcome to episode 88 of the Montreal Burger Report where Anna & Spiro Papadatos discuss the details of how Restaurant Tous les Jours makes and serves such good hamburgers.

All that was left after a BlissBurger and a CharmBurger

In today's episode the lovely and talented Anna Papdatos explains where the names of the hamburgers at Restaurant Tous les Jours come from. She then lists the most popular items on the menu. Zeke then asks would they open another Restaurant Tous les Jours? Anna and Spiro try to explain the popularity of Restaurant Tous les Jours while Zeke attempts to flirt with Anna, but fails. In episode 86 of the Montreal Burger Report Anna had stated that the Grilled Chicken Salad was the newest item. But, in fact there is a newer item on the menu. Spiro uses a charcoal grill to cook the burgers at Restaurant Tous les Jours, and talks about how he cooks the hamburgers. Then they both explain how they learned and were trained to cook and serve.

The Bill

Anna compares Restaurant Tous les Jours to Cheers and Spiro states that the family restaurant is a dying breed. Anna likes having a place where you can get an egg sandwich. They serve extremely big portions and emphasize the reasonable prices, the quality, and the service. Their ground beef is never frozen, and ultimately they they just try to keep thing simple.

Why some people refer to it as Steerburger Tous Les Jours

Good day and welcome to episode 87 of the Montreal Burger Report where your heroes, Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ryk 'E Coli' Edelstein discuss what makes the burger at Restaurant Tous les jours so good, and then interview Anna & Spiro Papadatos.

The view from the back of Restaurant Tous les Jours

Zeke and E Coli have a discussion about the food at Restaurant Tous les Jours. E Coli comes to the conclusion that their food if so god because they take pride in making, cooking it and serving it. Zeke points out that if a restaurant is forthcoming with information on where and what they serve, it is much more likely to be a good restaurant. They both agree that Restaurant Tous les Jours serves "good, honest food." E Coli likes the afterglow, and then ponders what could be done to make the hamburgers at Restaurant Tous les Jours even better. The conversation veers towards the spaghetti sauce and E Coli wonders if it contains cinnamon and nutmeg.

Almost the entire menu at Restaurant Tous les Jours

Zeke asks Anna Papadatos if he can come back at another time to interview her and her brother. She says "yes," and he does. In the interview Anna tells Zeke that Restaurant Tous les Jours opened in December of 1975, Zeke congratulates them on their 35th anniversary. Anna states that initially it was her father and two other partners, and now the second generation has started to work there, which is her, her sister Toula and her brother Spiro. She comments that it is a lot of hours to work, but that she enjoys it because she has very nice customers.

The view from outside Restaurant Tous les Jours

She started working there as a teenager and Spiro started when he was 12 years-old. Their father still oversees everything, even though the restaurant is no longer open every day. They buy their beef from Colfax, and grind it at the restaurant three times per week. Their hamburgers are made out of 100% chuck. Spiro guesses that they make about 100 hamburgers on average every day. The Primeburger is their best seller. And Anna points out how they won a competition on the CBC for the best hamburger in Montreal.

Somebody has got to wash all those dishes...

How does Spiro cook a hamburger? Why is Restaurant Tous les Jours so popular? And how much does the Primeburger weigh? Find the answer to these and other questions next week in episode 88 of the Montreal Burger Report. Same Burger time, same burger channel.

Good day and welcome to Episode 86 of the Montreal Burger Report where your heroes, Chris 'Zeke' Hand and Ryk 'E Coli' Edelstein finish eating their hamburgers at Restaurant Tous les Jours and leave.

The CharmBurger at Restaurant Tous les Jours

'E Coli' steals a chunk of Zeke's Charmburger. He thinks that there is salt, pepper and MSG in the burger. Zeke has difficulty finding the pickle in his CharmBurger. 'E Coli' reminds Zeke not to put his double cheeseburger (aka The CharmnBurger) down unless he doesn't plan to pick it back up. Zeke points out that the bun can't quite absorb all the juices from both patties and then on top of it, his burger falls apart. 'E Coli' thinks that Anna Papadatos is one of the best servers our heroes have ever had had Zeke agrees.

Eating a CharmBurger

Our heroes try to guess what the most recent addition to the menu was (and are spectacularly wrong). Zeke requests a fork while 'E Coli' goes to the bathroom, which he points out is extremely clean. Our heroes have a brief discussion about old brands of beer, and 'E Coli' points out that Restaurant Tous les Jours would be a great place to go for breakfast in the middle of the day.

What fell out of the bun

Zeke requests the bill, and points out how the decor reminds him, slightly, of Mr. Steer. Anna Papadatos returns with the bill and inquires if Restaurant Tous les Jours is getting a good review. 'E Coli' asks for details on the fat content of the beef and where it is ground. He then comments on how low the prices are, and Zeke asks about the newest item on the menu. 'E Coli' is amazed at how inexpensive the food is at Restaurant Tous les Jours. Our heroes pay up front, and then leave.

O'Keefe, celle qui se prend en douceur.

New York's got nothing on Montreal

Howdy!

This Diner's Journal blog post enumerates how there are scads, tons, dozens and dozens, an awful lot of two new burger joints opening in New York city (three if you think five months counts as still being new).

Since November, here in Montreal, Le Hachoir and Lawrence have opened. If we go back to September you can add Burger de Ville (Mile End) and Jukebox Burgers to the list. If we go back to July (five months ago) add Brasserie T!, Hielo, Tagada, Le Plaza, Chez Ma Grosse Truie Chérie, Chez Victoire and I'm probably missing a couple as well.

[Edit 12/24 14h30: In a major red-faced moment, I forgot the biggest of the burger joints opening in town; Five Guys.Apologies, Mea Culpa and thanks for the reminder.]

This week the burger report goes bilingual! Your heroes finagle an interview with not only the chef Gilles Tolen but the executive chef and pretty much head honcho in charge of the whole shebang, Charles-Antoine Crête. Unfortunately your heroes (actually E Coli had nothing to do with it, it was all Zeke's fault) but he screwed up during the interview with Chef Tolen and ran out of battery power. Sorry Gilles, next time we will be certain to plug our machine in. Fortunately Charles-Antoine Crête graciously agreed to be interviewed as well so we got back the stuff that we thought was lost for all of eternity.
