Food Truck Edition: Au Pied de Cochon

So, another food truck experience in the last two days. The ever so popular Au Pied de Cochon truck met us again at the base of Mount Royal in front of the monument. Now, we simply have agreed, why should we search the city for these trucks? Just let them come to us! Sometimes my Moo surprises me with his clever ideas. 

We understand that this restaurant gets so much hype, yet we have never been. From what I hear, the food is tasty, but very high in calories due to the copious amounts of butter, gravy, foie gras and maple syrup injected into most menu items. Although I do consider myself to be a foodie, I don't think I would ever want the full restaurant experience. The convenient food truck on the other hand...now that's more like it. The menu has the famous foie gras poutine and maple beignets, but we both opted for the    Pork smoked meat sandwich with a slice of cheese ($1 more). For under $15 for the two sandwiches (no drinks or side dish), we would say that it is a good bet just because you get so much darn meat! 

The bun is soft and appeared to be butter soaked and tasty. They put a generous amount of pork and just the perfect amount of yellow mustard. 

With two trucks side by side, the PDC truck seemed to be getting all the attention, but the ordering was quick and we waited about 5 minutes for our food. Not bad at all. Would we go back? Yes. 

Would we try something else on the menu, like the poutine? No.
