Paul James dining at Baltimore's Inner Harbor

Well, look who’s trying some Maryland crab cakes at a Baltimore pub but The Gardener Guy himself, Paul James!  Yes, Paul was my date Saturday night for some serious drinking and eating after his talk at a home show not far from me.

Now it may take a while for me to digest what he had to say over several hours (for the record, at least), but for now a couple of reactions:

  • He’s smart as hell.
  • He looks even better in person than on TV.
  • And he’s a serious drinker. Not that he’s a lush – exactly – but like the serious cook that he is, he knows his cocktail ingredients and thinks they’re important! So I let him do all the ordering.
