Today’s local newspaper reported the death of Tim Foley, local restaurateur and chef extraordinaire, on the front page. There were few specific details as to how he died; rather there were testimonies to how he lived.
According to the paper, everyone was his friend, and this was evident whenever M and I went to his restaurant, bread+bar. He worked the room effortlessly and tirelessly just as he’d worked equally so to make Bit Of Swiss the gourmet pastry shop it is.
I didn’t know Tim personally, although I felt I did. He always came by our table when he and M and I showed up on the same night at the restaurant. M just returned from Florida, and I think the best way to remember Tim is to visit bread+bar soon, as the paper said it would remain open during this time, “as Tim would have wanted.”
