But no one before Ayanoglu has ever played it so cleverly by the menu.” — Gazette, June 2002 “… a delight, with dialogue that reads at a gallop, pinpoints each character, and crackles with snappy put-downs and smartass wit…blending screwball comedy with bristling social comment.” — Globe & Mail, June 2002 “Montreal food writer Byron Ayanoglus fictional debut weaves all the beauty, delight, and intrique of this fair city into a love story of star-crossed lovers each coming from two extremes of the political spectrum.” — The Link, Sept. 2002
