Toronto,
CN – November 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / The Sunwing
Café is back and tastier than ever. For the coming season, travellers
can experience not one but two famous Canadian culinary experiences on
route to the sunny south. New for this edition is the introduction of Schwartz’s
Deli’s World Famous Original Smoked Meat, served on a pretzel roll with
grainy mustard and mayonnaise spread, topped with a sliced pickle and prepared
to a strict recipe devised by the iconic Montreal eatery. A household name
not just in Quebec, but across Canada, Schwartz’s Deli has been serving
up its famous smoked meat for over nine decades. However, this is the first
time that the landmark restaurant has partnered with an airline so that
its award-winning smoked meat can now be enjoyed at 30,000 ft.
