My very first smoke meat sandwich was in Florida at Earl of Sandwich (which makes incredible sandwich by the way…or maybe because all other things at Kissimme were barely edible). I did not like. I thought there were way too much meat. I much preferred their 4 cheese sandwich.

Therefore, I thought that I am not really a fan of smoke meat sandwich…

There came another day where my mom bought leftover smoke meat from Schwartz’s. I was curious what was the hype (as all Montrealers know that Schwartz’s often has a line-up). So I took a bite. Unimpressed and confused.

Again, I was really intrigued to the whole hype. I thought maybe I need to go there in person to understand this whole experience.

I did it.

I am no more a Schwartz’s virgin.

and…I looooove it!

It was a Wednesday evening, where there is a line-up of 5 minutes. Service was fairly quick as they want to clear out the seats for the next clients. You eat and you go! It’s no time to be chatty!
