It’s not every day that a three-time Canadian Olympic medallist walks into your restaurant for lunch. But, that’s exactly what happened today, as Silken Laumann joined us for a midday meal at the Chilled Cork Food Emporium and Wine Bar, the Retro Suites’ street-level restaurant.
She worked up an appetite helping the GoodLife Kids Foundation deliver a $17,500 cheque to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Chatham-Kent’s pilot program, Go Guys.It’s certainly a little ironic that we’re just 9 days prior to the Vancouver Olympics and in walks a Canadian Olympian. Grated, the winter games are coming up and Laumann medalled in the ’84 (bronze), ’92 (bronze) and ’96 (silver) summer games for rowing, but it’s very unexpected nonetheless.
She was very approachable and kindly posed for a photo with our server, Deb Lacasse. And, if you were wondering what a Canadian Olympian has for lunch, Laumann ordered a caramelized pear salad.
