On Cultural Production and Chop Suey

I liked this video a lot. While I'm sure a lot of this has to do with the fact that it pretty much is the same topic as my thesis, she does a really good job presenting it and shows that she has done a lot of research. I find the performance to be a bit too flamboyant, but I'm willing to concede that maybe its because I'm a boring academic.

Eatery Evaluation - Senzala

Senzala

Perhaps one of the most well known brunch locations in Montreal, 'Senzala' offers amazing Brazillian cuisine in a warm, homely atmosphere. Located in Mile End, the restuarant offers much in terms of unique and interesting cuisine. As a vegetarian its generally difficult to find a good brunch that isn't simply eggs and toast so to be offered something as delicious as poached eggs in mango (or avocado) topped with tomato sauce is simply a treat. While the portions weren't enough to fill me up, the simple fact that you can't find these dishes anywhere else in Montreal is reason enough to try it out. Moreover, the food is fantastic and the price is somewhat reasonable. Oh yeah, and a really pretty waitress too, that never hurts.
