Grease is the word! (or is it Greece?)

fig. a: Tony & Co.

You know how much we love Cosmo. I mean, it's right there in black & white in the A-M part of The List: "In our estimation, the classic Montreal greasy spoon..."

And our love for Cosmo isn't just some nostalgia trip. It's about the past, sure, the memories--all that jazz. But it's also very much about the present. Breakfast at Cosmo continues to be one of our absolute favorites, from the legendary potatoes, to the Creation, to the repartee.

To paraphrase: It's the best. It's number one. Number one.

Anyway, for those who share our passion for Cosmo-logy, as well as our profound admiration for Tony Koulakis, its patriarch, you should know that Ezra Soiferman's documentary portrait of Koulakis, Man of Grease (2000),* is finally getting released on DVD, and to celebrate, Soiferman & Co. are giving the film a gala release at the Segal Centre's CinemaSpace this coming Monday, December 5.
