Maison Egg Roll...rolls downhill fast


I used to go to the Maison Egg Roll, informally considered a wacky heritage site for the city ever since a retired Pierre Trudeau opted to hold an important speech about the constitution at the place.
   His flunky Marc Lalonde eventually did the same thing.
  You could pick up a bunch of decent take-out downstairs and upstairs there was a banquet hall.     About five years back flamboyant restaurant/strip club owner Peter Sergakis who tells me that he owns about 48 establishments (many in the gay village) held a meeting of bar owners at the meeting hall.    There were maybe three or four dozen people there discussing the biker war arsons that had seen a ton of bars go up in flames, particularly in the South West.
  The restaurant relocated to Verdun.
