round 2 at the best smoked meat shop in the world

Our first attempt at #49 on the list (”Take a Stranger Out for Dinner/Lunch”) was such a success that CTV Montreal called us and wanted to do it again! This morning we headed out with their crew to find a new stranger to feed and found a very deserving man named Bob.

In the last ten years, Bob has been through divorce, jail-time, and a major stroke and he now lives day-to-day panhandling and doing odd jobs around the city. It’s tough, he says, at 60. But Bob is more optimistic about life than anyone we have met in a long time. Stay respectful and positive, he says, and everything will turn out okay in the end.

The full story airs this Thursday at noon, 6:00pm and 11:00pm EST if you’re in the neighborhood. We’ll try to post it too - it was pretty cool. Thanks again to Tony, Frank, Diamond and the whole crew at Schwartz! We love you guys. -JP
