By Matthew Gray Advertiser Restaurant Critic I once heard someone say that friendship is a long conversation, which seems nearly right to me.
Words are often free-flowing and disembodied, like angels winging through pure discourse.
My Long Conversation With Andre. A friend is hardly a friend if you can't eat and drink together and share spirits. In fact, I'll dare to say that what sex is to lovers, food is to friends. We reserve the right not to seat people who pretend they are guardians of high culture. Finally, no innocents allowed, that is, unless they've paid their dues to friendship by joining in the fray, risking the barbed words or poignant disappointments that true friendship seems unable to avoid.
