The Man Behind Moishe's

Moishe's is the steakhouse of Montreal.  About the bone-in filet mignon pictured above, Michael Stern says in his Roadfood.com review, "It is a huge, ridiculously juicy hunk of delicious meat."  Meet the man behind Moishe's, as Lenny Lighter speaks with The Gazette of Montreal.  He talks about his early days at his father's restaurant, and his philosophy of running a restaurant.  Says Mr. Lighter: "When people sit down, it's less than a minute and the bread, butter, coleslaw and pickles are on the table. That's part of who we are. That's part of our brand in the restaurant. The products always have to be right. And they have to be delivered right away."

Loved Moishe's when we visted Montreal a few weeks ago. I normally don't get filet mignon at steakhouses because I prefer something big and fatty like a prime rib, but their bone-in filet was wonderful.

Don't know that we've ever heard of a bone-in filet anywhere other than Moishe's.  There must be a reason it's rarely done, but the bone adds flavor, and filet can be light on flavor, so it seems like a natural idea.
