I don't make a habit of being gay, but sometimes, you know, you just LIKE A GUY. Well, of course it's without the sex in my case, but recently I've met two guys who are, like, really smart—just unbelievably smart. You know, you can go to lunch with them and in no time you realise you've been there for five hours.
In the case of Corey Urman, it was a snap decision today—he writes for eatwellmontreal.com (sorry, too lazy to make the link, but hey, it's called cut and paste!) I emailed him the other day and he emailed me back and I called him and it seemed we were doing nothing together today so he drove over, picked me up and we went to Beauty's. Amazing. He recognized at least two people who walked in off the street. Just a casual hey, man, what's up. And it's been a couple of years since he's been to Beauty's.
This guy seems to know every chef in the city— . . . they're all buddies.
DEFINITELY a good guy to know.
And there is Adam Lazaris, a dude so young and so talented, my mind reels. Currently we're in the process of re-inventing mtlfood, and he is so full of good ideas that it reminds me of when I actually HAD an idea. Both these guys are in their twenties. Both these guys are solid Montrealers, which is to say, just downright SMART. Dunno where it comes from, whether it's the education system or what, but these guys are so smart my brain hurts.
Yep, sometimes people restore your faith. Happens all the time . . . as I can attest.
