HUNGRY GERALD

Alexander Lobrano, in HG’s opinion, is the ideal food writer. He writes knowledgeably and gracefully in his website “Hungry For Paris’.   His book, “Hungry For Paris,” is the essential, reliable guide to that city’s bistros and restaurants.  HG finds Lobrano very compatible because he likes the kind of food HG likes.  Moreover, Lobrano can really write.  His style has a civilized sparkle   Lobrano recognizes that dining is not confined solely to food and wine. Ambience and atmosphere are  important.   Chilly greetings, incompetent or condescending service, loud voices, vicious arguments emanating from an adjoining table….all can ruin a meal. But, most vital is the company you are keeping at the table.  Lobrano seems blessed with a host of stimulating friends…men and women from all parts of the world. It is not surprising that Lobrano has many friends. The man and his writing radiate joy. He not only makes you hungry for food; hungry for Paris….he makes you hungry for conversation, companionship and life.
