The Old Hello

The Old Hello Downtown Cobourg's lunch spot. C'mon through. Eat, laugh, get medium rowdy.

Hi.

I haven't forgotten about you.

One aspect of workaholic-ism is that you will work at whatever to an exclusion of almost everything else.

I'm going to post a bunch of our recipes up here, so you can Hello at home. A greatest hits collection? Something of that nature.

Not all of them. Some things I still need. Leave it with me. I'll get back to you.

You good? What's happening over there?

I'm out amongst my favourite hillbillies (though they prefer William) these days, and I promise to let you know when I wind back towards Cobourg. Maybe we can do lunch.

-jo.

Our Mediterranean pals will tell us how carefree it is to sip red in these heats. Playful, a light joy in glass. Juicy in late day sunshine; share it, so not one of your friends misses its light and gentle airs. Conquer your palate with lime in soda: Basa, caught and handled by a Vietnamese fishing boat then disregarded as a three-dollar tank fish by people on our distant shores; a perfect conveyor for carefully measured butter and lemon and herbs. Eat rich or try trying’.

There’s a lyric by the almighty McLusky that goes “Eat what you are / while you are falling apart (and it opens a can of worms).” This is hot and sour soup, and this is also shiitake mushroom flat bread. We ain’t falling apart; these foods repair. If you don’t know McLusky, ask your cool niece about them; feel free to stop in to find out about hot and sour soup. Life gets better.

The Jar has allowed us to continue without ever saying no to anyone learning what shape their hunger takes.

Either from our menu, or in a way that speaks to a person’s hunger, and at their time of happening through our door.

We’re grateful. 🙏
