Forget Poutine and Bagels, a Real Taste of This City Comes from the Chicken

If there’s one thing Montrealers love to do, it's debating the food that is often praised for putting our city on the culinary map: the holy trinity of bagels, poutine, and smoked meat. Is it Fairmount or St-Viateur for bagels? Schwartz’s or Lester's for a classic smoked meat sandwich? Are you lining up outside La Banquise or hitting up your corner casse-croûte? 

But while everyone is busy defending their favourites, the real star has been quietly spinning in the background: It’s time rotisserie chicken gets the respect it deserves, and is recognized as the Montreal dish.
