Today’s guest is a fucken great guy. Jeremy Potvin is a fantastic cook, he can tell you the best way to make anything, gifted bread baker, cool father, fantastic business man, and one hell of a drinking buddy.
I love our chat today, we reminisce about Bemelmans and other Toronto gems from the 80’s and 90’s.
Jeremy is a friend of my husband’s and it’s always fun hanging out with him. Whether we’re hanging out in his backyard, or chilling pool side sipping some obnoxious rosé there’s guaranteed to be some good laughs. And beyond that, Jeremy is an amazing story teller. I think I learn something every time we hang out.
A little peak into my childhood; I ate-ish at most of the restaurants Jeremy talks about. I was born 1987. My parent’s used to say I ate and slept in the best restaurants in the city! My parents would bring me with them to dinner, they would request a booth and when I was tired they would roll up a couple jackets for me to use as a pillow and I would sleep there. Wild times.
Cheers!
