Tremblant received 29cm of snow By: Bonnie Wurst / mtltimes.ca

With 29 cm of fresh fallen snow at Tremblant over the past 7 days, excitement is at an all-time high among slide sport fans! The wait will soon be over for skiers and riders as the slide season officially opens this Thursday November 23, at 8:30 am. The mountain operations team plans to open about 10 trails, with one summit-to-base route on both the North and South sides. To ease the wait, here are a few noteworthy items to discover on-mountain, this year.

Opéra de Montréal presents JFK Opéra de Montréal presents JFK - Rather than giving us the story of Kennedy’s assassination, Little and Vavrek delve into the twelve hours preceding the fateful event.

JFK opens a window onto the inner lives of the mythical figures of John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline, from their Presidential Suite at the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth to the moon and back. Guided by the Fates, Kennedy and his wife confront their past, present, and future in a dreamlike state that is, in part, narcotics-induced. To borrow the words of the work’s creators, “Time is flexible in this drama; fate is not.”

1201 Guy Street, Montreal 3300 Sources Blvd., Pointe-Claire

Once again this year, the Opéra de Montréal is continuing with the breakthrough portion of its program by presenting another new work, the opera JFK by American composer David T. Little and Canadian librettist Royce Vavrek. Praise for this opera—jointly commissioned by the Fort Worth Opera, the American Lyric eater, and the Opéra de Montréal—which premiered in Fort Worth in April 2016, has been unanimous: the work is “ravishing” and “triumphant” (Henry Stewart, Opera News), “rapturous” (Anthony Tommasini, New York Times), and “powerful and soulcrushingly gorgeous” (Edward Brown, Fort Worth Weekly).

Following the international success of their previous collaboration, Dog Days, Little and Vavrek took on the challenge of depicting the moments leading up to one of the past century’s most talked about events: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. With great subtlety, finesse, and an impressively rich musical setting, they have risen to the challenge to carve out “a piece of operatic history” (Paul Selar, Opera Chaser), and go beyond historical fact to address an issue facing all of humanity. In the words of its creators, the story “is also our story. Drawing us ever closer to our destinies, and of that final moment, real or imagined.” Little and Vavrek see JFK as “a portrait of a precipice.”

Dave McMillan – Chef / Restaurateur / Father By: Rebecca Perez / mtltimes.ca

Meet David McMillan, he doesn't need an introduction - if you've been to Montreal (or live here) than you're very aware of his newsworthy restaurants, Joe Beef, which appeared as the ďŹ rst Canadian eatery to make the list on the World's 50's Best Restaurants alongside his other ventures Liverpool House and Vin Papillon.

There's no secret recipe here, McMillan and his

www.mtltimes.ca

partners Fred Morin and Allison Cunningham have proven that hard work, customer loyalty and quality food always takes the cake.

I was pleasantly surprised by McMillan's humility and dedication to his roots. He's Canadian born and proud of his heritage, although he has integrated french culture into his culinary masterpieces.

Did you always know you wanted to become a restauranteur?

Yes I think so. I used to skip school, stay home and watch cooking shows.

I knew I wanted to work standing up with a knife, I didn’t want to be in an office, I didn’t want to wear a suit, I wanted to say f*ck when I wanted to I wanted to be free.

I went to ITHQ - it was mediocre, the teachers were all burnouts who hadn't really done anything in their own careers. I was never impressed with any teacher I met in cooking school.

After school I decided to work in some french restaurant in Montreal where I met a lot of mentors. Daniel Schandelmayer - he was an important chef for me - he pushed me to go to work in Europe and that proved to make all the difference between me and other people.

Where did you go?

MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair.

That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home.

If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

How do differentiate yourself from the market?

Top 3 chefs you would like to cook for?

I really like the chef Septime in Paris - Clamato, Cave Septime and Septime - I think those guys are brilliant.

Then there’s a bistro in Paris called le Bistro Paul Bert I love those guys the owner is called Bertrand Auboyneau. I would love to find out who’s the greatest seafood chef in China. I’ll cook for him. Nobody does seafood like the asians.

What motivates you?

COVER

deserts, 20 very good appetizers, 20 very good fish/meat dishes and be open to cooking vegetarian and allergies with a smile.

Know your sh*t inside out without recipes, know how to make bread, know how to make pasta, then just before you’re ready make sure you spend time in the dining room.

There are a lot of chefs who know nothing about wine and bar service and you can feel it, you go to restaurants sometimes and the food is really good but the waiter isn’t trained properly, the wine list is awful - just because you’re a very good cook and you know how to run a kitchen does it mean that you’re ready to open a restaurant.

There’s also a third part - accounting. They barely even look at that. How much rent should you pay? How many customers should you do? What should the price of your food be? When are you making money, when are you losing money? These are all things to look at once you’re a good cook you’re not ready yet you have to know wine,you have to know front of the house as well as you know the back of the house and then you have to keep your accounts nice and tight and understand everything. It’s not just about cooking. There are three major components to a restaurant - front of the house, back of the house, and then financial management. Often when things go wrong it's because one of the three is missing.

What do you know now that you wish you knew when you first started?

I’ve spent many years working too hard. I came back a little brainwashed from France and I really did believe for a long time what I was doing - I thought it was more important than it was and I overworked myself. I had a little breakdown before I opened Joe Beef; I used to be at a restaurant called Rosalie and I worked myself to death there. I didn’t have much of a life and I wasn’t a very good dad at the time and I was drinking too much, and I was just working too much.

I realized that I hadn’t seen a hockey game in 15 years, I hadn’t seen a movie in 10 years, I hadn’t swam in a lake in 10 years. I had worked really hard at my apprenticeship and I was a bit dumb, I walked into the kitchen I was 19 years old and when I walked out I was 31 - all I had done was work.

I enjoy running the restaurants with the kids; talking about food, talking about wine, talking with mushroom pickers, checking out what oysters are available. I just like the every day process - I’ve been doing it for so long I don’t really know anything else. Most of my day is spent talking about bread, talking about cheese, talking about seafood, talking about fish, talking about wine, What about now? talking to customers, and then going home.

I work three days a week now and I swim in a lake 4-5 What advice would you give students/apprentice who times a week. would like to start a restaurant at some point?

I think what differentiates us from the market, Fred and I and Marco - is that we’ve been cooking the exact same food that we were 20 years ago; we identified a good kitchen dish, we identified a good steak, and we stick to those guns. We played inside of the realm of Dave and Fred’s cooking but we didn't follow trends.

I’ve never made foam when everybody was doing foam. When everybody started plating on the left side of the plate, I never did that, when everybody started putting the line of ash, I never did that. I've always cooked bourgois, french cooking.

The trends I follow is not following trends.

We’re always looking at what we do and making sure that we’re on the same beat: is the food like it was 5 years ago? Yes it is. Is it like it was 10 years ago? Yes it is. Let’s bring out recipes that we haven’t done in 15 years.

When I’m not in the restaurant I’m big into natural wine. When restaurants strive to become “elite” or when they strive to serve the very rich that’s when restaurants lose me. I don’t need chrystal glasses, all I want to do is eat very good food and natural wine in a setting where people are intelligent around me - I don’t care about the living room where the maitre d is wearing a suit. I despise pretence. I think it’s such a flaw in the restaurant business. I just want to eat fresh crab, super beautiful oysters, I don’t care that the plate cost $80. That is all make up on a pig. I just want to eat the pig.

In the 1950s, the eight Benny broothers, sons of a Sainte-Mélanie farmer, became pioneers in raissing and selling broiler chicken in the Lanaudière area. After developing an exclusive chicken grilling technique, they decideed to go into the restaurant business, and they opened their first rotisserie in Joliette. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Benny brothers b launched more than 20 restaurants in major Québec citiies, leveraging their exceptioonal brand of know-how..

In 2006, the new Benny&Co. conncept was born. Jean Benny, son of the youngest of the eight fouunding brothers, wanted to rally all the members of the Benny faamily so they could cater to the needs of a modern clientele in seearch of good food, so that they t could ensure the continuity of thhe family business. In total, The Benny&Co banner now has a totaal of 44 locations across Québec, Benny&Co. each of which is operated by mem mbers of the Benny family.

These are fast-casuaal restaurants, with a 130-seat dining room and a relaxed atmoosphere. The concept offers several new elements, such as a drive-through, online ordering, a soup and salad bar, a beeer and wine counter and a children’s area.

In 2013, Jean Bennyy’s sister Lucie, alongg with her husband Michel Bonin and theeir children, realized their project of opening a Vaaudreuil-Dorion llocation. They were so enchanted by their experience with this first f restaurant in the area that they opened a second Benny&Co.. in Pincourt in May 2017.. Lucie Benny and her family are proudd of their heritage, and they would like to share their experiencce with you: they invite you to come discover the innovative Bennyy&Co. concept in the Vaaudreuil-Dorion and Pincourt locations.

All the cats at the café have come from various animal refuges in Greater Montreal, and were chosen for their social behaviour with other cats as well as with people. The café is also vegan friendly, with a wide range of drinks and food to enjoy while playing with the cats.
