I was saddened to learn of Jeremy´s passing. I have many, many fond memories of Jeremy who was our beloved Maître D´ at the Ovens of Brittany Downtown Madison.
My fondest memory of Jeremy was when he rushed into the restaurant excitedly requesting, , "Victor, give me a beer!!!" He had just won the Madison´s annual chili-eating contest twice in a row and showed off his prize - a lovely box of various bottled hot sauces. I hurriedly popped open a beer and then a second to wash down to spice and heat.
And I´ll certainly never forget how amazed I was at his HUGE collection of herbs and spices in his humble kitchen. It was only then than I realized that not only was he a gourmand but he absolutely loved to cook.
O Jeremy Crane, I miss you so and the many jokes and laughter we shared!
Be at peace, dear friend!
