A Tiny Perfect Deli
David Crombie has been in my place twice now. I’m such a huge fan of his. The “Tiny Perfect Mayor” told me that since he came the first time he’s had 9 people recommend our deli to him. He told me he ran into the Greenspan brothers at a dinner honouring Allan Borovoy and when my deli came up – that was the end of the conversation. Mr. Mayor even commented how much he likes the Monarch. It’s nice to see the tide turning on the Monarch. The place finally seems to be getting some respect. This morning I heard he even gave me a plug on Steve Paikin’s show. I really do love what i do.
If everything goes according to plan, I may escape for a week soon. I really just want to relax and get off this knee. In a few weeks, I will have been waiting 1 year for an appointment with a surgeon. You’d think with 2, count ‘em 2, Ministers of Health in the family one might have some shlep. Nuh uh. I wait in line like every other person and that entitles me to complain. Click away if you can’t bear it another moment.
But if you did click away you will have missed my really big news: I put in an offer to lease a space. If accepted I won’t have another opportunity for rest for many months. I won’t say which space until the deal is done.

Will you give up the Monarch if the new lease is finalized?
You’ve worked a great symbiosis with the pub, it’s part of the attraction you’ve generated. Maybe you can keep 2 locations going?

Hopefully it’s somewhere closer to the east end. We won’t bite…. Hard.
