Having been in Montreal for the weekend naturally the conversation turned to food. Joel asked if Wilensky's still existed. That sent us on a Google search to find out.
Immortalized in Mordecai Richler's seminal work the Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (it's always about the books!), Wilensky's is still owned by the Wilensky family, has much of the original decor and even some of the original customers! You can still order a Wilensky's Special: grilled salami and bologna on a roll with mustard. There are hot dogs as well. All the meat is beef. There is also an old-fashioned soda fountain in which you can get drinks like cherry-cola, strawberry, cream soda, root beer and egg cream (whatever that is??). 
And then for dinner last night we had steamies and poutine! Dinner of Champions!
