"You gotta eat here" went to Collingwood and ate at the The Smoke. Well if it's good enough for television it's good enough for us. On this cold somewhat drizzly day, Ed and I hopped into the Miata and drove to Collingwood for lunch.
The special on Friday is restaurant made Montreal Smoke Meat and it's only available on Fridays so I decided to give it a try. The first bite transported me a Jewish deli in New York city (I've actually never tried Montreal Smoke Meat in Montreal so I couldn't get transported there.) Ed decided to try the Brisket Lunch --- brisket and potato salad. As we traded food I can attest to the fact that it was also delicious. The Smoked Banana Icecream was good but I don't think I have the best taste buds around as I really didn't taste the smoke in the bananas.
Luckily, the skies began to clear so we did a bit of geocaching on the drive home (are you surprised).
We found this cute little bridge in the middle of no where ... beside a garden centre. I think that explained the flowers on the bridge.
I think we ended up on the Niagara escarpment and were rewarded with this view.
In the town of Chatsworth we pulled into a small park and were surprised to see a horse standing among the trees. When I looked across the road I figured it out.
The most interesting cache of the day. We found this one on the edge of a cemetery. It was placed in celebration of Halloween.
