After a long week, the sun is finally peeking out from behind the storm clouds and what better way to celebrate than to head to Montana's steak house for some beef ribs! I have been drawn to Montana's for a long while now, possibly due to the fact that I drive past it every day on the way to work, but also that I am intrigued by its location (next to Canadian Tire) and facade ( log cabin).
Darren and I skipped over to the restaurant where we were greeted by a fabulous array of 'Montana' memorabilia including a truck that had been suspended from the roof. They have a good selection beers but in spirit of the summer, we plumped for a bucket of Corona - you can't really go wrong with that.
Darren was quite excited as we were given our menus from the [very chirpy] waitress ( she loved to talk about board shorts). I had my heart set on chicken wings so went with a pound of hot as D chuckled softly in the background as he went ahead and ordered two beef ribs. The waitress asked him if would like to pay an extra dollar for 'all you can eat' .. but D declined saying that each rib was the equivalent of half a roast so two would 'probably' be enough. The waitress then regaled us with a recent tale about a young man who 'professed' to eating 'six' beef ribs. As there is no photo evidence we remain 'non-believers' in this feet of protein consumption and this so called 'rib-fiend' remains an urban legend.
Not like me however, a true-to-the-cause rib convert!
All I can say is that I have most certainly moved up the ranks towards becoming a no-holds-barred carnivore ( Sorry Jo) and my 'top five meats' are changing at an alarming rate. Gone are the days where chicken wings were numero uno. Now Beef Ribs are in pride of place at number 3 (just behind hot lamb curry and D's veal burgers)
After that, we went home and watched 'The Crazies'. I am advancing as a human!
