Hi Zane, my name is Emily, I’ve been reading your blog from the early 2008 posts to this post, I will continue reading, but I wanted to ask you a couple of questions..
1. I’m legally blind & use a walker, I’m wanting to come to eat but, a. I’m going to be coming on Wheeltrans, as streetcars are NOT accessible! But need to book my ride a day ahead, so what day/time is slowest, & how much cash should I bring? I’m thInking of a fatty brisket sandwich & a couple of cokes, as well as a poutine to take home.

Thanks Terry, et al. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement as well as your business. As far as being an above-average tipper… didn’t anyone tell you: embellishment is the spice of life.

I feel compelled to comment.

I read your blog because you’re interesting, and engaging and most important, articulate. But besides that, it’s about you and your feelings about being the guy who owns the restaurant. I come, I eat, I leave. I know what my experience is like. I wanna know what yours is. And you’re the only guy in town who’s telling me. So it’s fascinating. You’re breaking down the fourth wall in restauranting. But when all is said and done, it’s really because I am a slut for your cabbage borscht.

And, yours may be the only restaurant in the universe where I’m considered an ‘above average tipper’.

Why do I read your blog? Because it’s one of the few food-blogs out there that is refreshingly about food and life and not just why my friggen BBQ meal tasted so good this weekend. Why do I wish I never started reading your blog? Because now I realize how obscenely boring I am when I talk about why my friggen BBQ meal tasted so good this weekend…

Oh and you’re right, sometimes it is nice to hear that over people are just as crazy as you are.

Why is this blog compelling? Hilarity, horror, chutzpah.
