As a Gen Xer, dancing involves two people. Getting ready was purposeful, the art of courting was exact and taken very seriously. Reward of a dance partner was priceless.
While traveling to Italy, I noticed for the first time that their culture of wine complementing food and vice versa, was completely opposite to ours. They'd bring bite-size appetizers when you order wine and wine when you order food. The concept of one without the other was incomprehensible.
In Montreal, diners are serious about their food & overall experience. Many admirers would indulge, dissect & engage the menu, exhausting every ingredient on the plate in conversation. The staff treated every guest like a food critic by providing excellent service. Their duty was to complement the chef's passion.
Simply, two sides to a coin.
