Crudessence is Montreal’s newest Vegan and Raw foodist’s dream come true. The food service company is well known as a caterer par excellence and they have just opened a cafe located within a close proximity to the Sunday Tam Tam’s, just off Parc Jean Mance, at Esplanade and Rachel.
Lisa Shalom, a friendly staffer, was nice enough to tell me about what goes on at Crudessence, she explained that the theory behind the establishment is to promote healthy lifestyles while proving that eating fast does not have to mean eating badly. The snacks and drinks served at Crudessence look and taste hearty and healthy. Here’s to feeling good. Cheers.

The I love Neon, Crystal Castles show took place on March 27, 2008, at the Just For Laughs Museum. The band used only a strobe light so video was pretty tough to get.
This a cool video time lapse of the tent, aka the Satosphere, being put up outside the SAT for the last Festival du Nouveau Cinema which took place October 10-21, 2007.
CookandDate.com is a unique socializing concept here in Montreal. The idea is to combine a cooking class with a singles club. The soirées are taught by professional chefs and are categorized by cuisine and sexual preferences. One thing is sure, if you meet someone at Cook and Date the common interest is that you both enjoy food. Hmmm, is that a good thing?
In this video, produced by Watch Mojo, we see chef Ali Hassan of Cook and Date making a Frittata.
Jon Lajoie is huge on YouTube and now he’s on Live Mtl. Will this man’s success never end?
He is deserving of all the acclaim because Jon makes people laugh, and that is the most noble thing anyone can do. Jon also waits in line at clubs… whatever.
