SPEEDEATS DOCUMENTARY
Montreal - Adventures in Eating
The Nationwide Series weekend in Montreal is such a unique weekend that we had to do something a little different for Speedeats.com. For this trip we decided to make a small documentary of our food adventures while in the French Canadian city. We eat at some truly unique places with our host Dominic Fugère. Special guests on the journey include NHRA Funny Car driver Bob Tasca III and CFL Football star Taylor Robertson. Enjoy!
ATLANTA
TOO MANY PICKS... BUT TRY TWO URBAN LICKS!
Everyone in the NASCAR world seems to love Dale Jr and listen to what he says. Well, listen to his PR rep Laura Scott. She says "Two Urban Licks" in Atlanta is one of her favorite food spots. "Everything has a kick," says Scott.

NITRO BBQ AND CRUSHIN SCALLOPS!
We had a blast in Montreal shooting a food adventure documentary. We were honored to have NHRA Drag racing star Bob Tasca III and CFL Football big-guy Taylor Robertson join us. A big thanks to those guys and our host and fellow foodie Dominic Fugère.
GHETTO BURGER?
We have heard so much about this so-called "Ghetto Burger" that we might have to give it a try. It has been voted one of the best burgers in the country and it's tucked away at a little place called Ann's Snack Bar. Here is the info... we will let you know what we think!

Squeaky Cheese in Wisconsin
Gizma Polish Restaurant
(MD Pick)
MD found this place randomly, while looking for a place to eat on his way to Atlanta in the Spring. Gizma is Georgia's only Polish restaurant and it is very much authentic. We pigged out on Pierogis, Placki and Kielbasa last time. It's about 25 minutes outside of the city but a true treat!

(MD Pick)
"What'll Ya Have?" Well, Burgers, Chili-dogs, Fries and Shakes...Oh My! They have some of the best onion rings on the planet too. Across the highway from Georgia Tech in Downtown Atlanta, the Varsity is a tradition.

Holeman & Finch Public House
(MD Pick)
You want to talk unique in Atlanta? Holeman and Finch have it down-pat. A great place for a drink and some unique food from traditional southern kitchen fare to creative new-age items. Oh, and the Burger, it's what they are known for. Here is the catch... Only 24-burgers are hand-crafted each night at Holeman and Finch. They serve the 24 burgers at 10pm at night. Get there early, because they usually sell out real quick. Now that is different right?

10-Degrees South
(Mark Martin's Atlanta Food Pick)
It's one of Atlanta's most unique restaurants and it's a favorite of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star Mark Martin. 10-Degrees specializes in South African cuisine. South African? To put it simply, South African food is a fusion of French, Portuguese, Dutch and Malaysian foods with Mediterranean influences. It's a trendy joint and somewhere you need to put on your to-visit list for Atlanta for sure.

Home Cooking on a new level! That's Grandma Gattuso in her kitchen at Il Piatto Della Nonna in Montreal., Quebec Canada. No Menu, whatever she cooks you eat. The place is one of the most friendly and unique restaurants I've ever visited.
