Au Pied de Cochon Feeds Wolverine, Maple Swag

PLATEAU— Hugh Jackman, seen here with the owners of Ta pies et supérette on du Parc and recently in town to shoot some extra scenes for the next X-Men blockbuster, had a dinner worthy of Wolverine at Au Pied de Cochon. "It's one of my favorite restaurants. I actually count the dinner I had there once as the greatest dinner I've ever had. We started at 7:00 p.m. and we left at four in the morning."
