About

I love food. I’ve grown up around food. Born into the food industry, from restaurants to retail and even manufacturing; my family’s roots run deep in the Montreal food scene. From an early age, my love of food has given me the ability to remember standout dishes and recount meals and experiences from restaurants in and around the city that may or may not still exist. To this day, I still love finding places to eat and sharing my findings… and thus the reason behind Shut Up and Eat.

People get hungry and need to find good places to eat… I am people, and here are the places I’ve found. The majority of my food posts will be results of my endeavours set forth to discover the hidden gems of the city. I’m a true advocate of “getting what you pay for” but I strive to find the exceptions that prove this statement wrong. I vow to not leave one hot pot lid unturned, snail shell hollowed, or souvlaki foil emptied until I can safely say that I ate my way across Montreal. It’s a big claim, and it’s one I’m making.

I do not get paid by the restaurants I write about nor do I profit from them. I will disclose all bias and any perks and compensations I receive to maintain a level transparency and honesty.

Also please keep in mind, these are my opinions. You may or may not agree with me and that’s ok.
