Hey yo, lurkers, shirkers and layabouts who seem to love food,
Why don’t we arrange a monthly get together, but only at BYOBs? Forget upscale joints. Just some cheesy but tasty joint where we can bring multiple bottles, rag on the service and fare (maybe not!) and generally act as a flash mob. This does NOT encompass total dives such as Soupe & Nouilles or Montreal Pool Room. A visit list would have to be arranged and approved by all.
I don’t want to be doomed to Vietnamese food for the rest of my BYOB life but there are others. Greek, Indian, Italian, Thai, even Nickian. OR *gasp* your home!
Who knows. If there are enough of us (say, ten) we could actually get by asking if we could bring some good wines to non BYOB places, just so we eat up nicely. We’d offset by bringing in extra revenue.
Of course, your supper would be your own responsibility — none of this sharing the table equally. The wine would be for all, no hoarding; that’s the only caveat. And there would be a LOT of it. Requirements would be one bottle per pezzanovante (not per couple) and would also include dessert wines, or things such as pastis or grand marnier to chill the evening. Children would be welcome, even desired.
We could arrange car pooling for those who’ve foreclosed on their humvees and it really would be locovorish, wouldn’t it?
Gimme a ring at nick(at)montrealfood.com if interested. Let's paint this town Blanc -- Sauvignon Blanc.
Good idea nick, I am into it. Are you coming to the Eatwellmtl.com dinner Thursday night at Le Milsa Thursday night. I started an eating club for all you can eat restaurants and would love to see you at our first event.
