			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On The Bombay Sapphire, <strong>Le Local Old Montreal</strong> event Chef Deck says:</p>
<p>Chef Deck had a lesson from the <strong>grand master mixologist Merlin Griffiths</strong> three nights ago in how to get your friends even drunker at dinner parties. The trick seems to be to use Bombay Gin in everything, and to talk until you lose your voice. Thankfully <strong>Louis-François Marcotte</strong>, Chef/Owner of Simpléchic and restaurant Le Local was the co-host and gave great easy recipes to accompany the fine  Bombay Sapphire cocktails. The event was inspiring in that it stressed the importance of proper drink mixing, fresh ingredients, food pairing, and the fact that a good mixed drink can bring your dinner parties to the next plateau.</p>
<p>Chef Deck signing out!</p>
