Nouveautés au dépanneur!
Avec l’arrivée tardive et lente de l’été, nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer la présence sur nos étagères de quelques nouvelles boissons pour satisfaire votre soif!
Les boissons Belvoir, provenant de l’Angleterre, sont faits avec des ingrédients naturels. Les saveurs comprennent la limonade aux framboises, la fleur de sureau et la lime et citronelle.
La compagnie Fever Tree, elle, nous offre un eau au tonique ainsi qu’une limonade amère. On nous dit que celles-ci vont très bien dans un cocktail…
Sans oublier les quatre variétés de Mash, boisson gazeuse aux saveurs de fruits…
Ou bien Pop Shoppe… si les saveurs ainsi que le design ont un air authentique à l’ancinenne, c’est que cette compagnie canadienne fût lancée en 1969, et puis relancée en 2004 par un entrepreneur ontarien.
Avec tellement de nouvelles boissons, il nous semblait qu’on devrait lancer une promotion pour que nos clients puissent les goûter. Nos offrons donc le “4-pack,” quatre boissons de votre choix parmi les marques Fentiman’s, Boylan, Belvoir, Mash, Pop Shoppe et Good Tree, pour $9.49 plus taxes.
Poultry butchery for the home chef - June 13th!
June 13, 2013 at 07:30 PMDo you make a mess when cutting up chicken? Wonder how you could get the best use out of all the parts of your bird? You’re in luck!
A butcher friend of the Pick-Up will host a workshop in chicken butchering techniques on Thursday, June 13 at 7:30 pm.
Workshop participants will cut chickens in several ways (half, quartered, frying cuts and a whole, fully deboned chicken). We’ll go over techniques for a whole stuffed boneless bird, a brick-pressed grilled bird, stuffed/tied breast and how to turn bones into stock for gravies and soups. We’ll also talk about spice rubs and marinades, and how all of these techniques can be transferred to more delicate poultry species like quail, duck and pheasant.
Participants should bring an apron and, if you have one, a boning knife. (If not, we will add a boning knife to the workshop cost, and you can take it home with you!)
Cost of the workshop is $45.00 and includes a whole chicken for each participant.
To register, or for any questions, email lepickupevents@gmail.com.
Dan Dan Noodle Brunch
Miserable weather couldn’t stop the Pick-Up’s loyal customers from eating up every single bite of Szef Bartek’s Dan Dan Noodle Brunch. The noodles’ porky goodness filled our bellies, while the Schezuan pepper-laden cucumber salad left our mouths tingling.

Yum.Glutenberg: la bière sans gluten maintenant au Pick-Up!
La popularité de la nourriture sans gluten ne cesse d’augmenter. Ici au Pick-Up, nous recevons de plus en plus de commandes pour des sandwichs sur tortilla, ainsi que nos biscuits aux pépites de chocolat sans gluten disponibles depuis un bon bout de temps.
C’est alors notre plaisir d’annoncer que le Glutenberg, la bière locale 100% sans gluten, est maintenant disponible sur nos étagères!
Le Glutenberg est le produit des Brasseurs Sans Gluten, une compagnie montréalaise. Le co-fondateur Julien Niquet, lui-même intolérant au gluten, a amené son idée au marché en 2010. Certifié sans trace de gluten, le produit goûte aussi très bien; les bières de la compagnie ont même remporté trois prix dans le World Beer Cup 2012!
Essayez la bière blonde ou la pale ale américaine et dites-nous qu’est-ce que vous en pensez…
