Remembering Irvin Cohen the maître d’ of The Concord Resort hotel.Irving Cohen, who was known as King Cupid of the Catskills for his canny ability to seat just the right nice Jewish boy next to just the right nice Jewish girl during his half-century. I was with him for some years.A great,and wonderful Man..Saying hello To him was Answered Your One Of my Favorite People...My Favorite Story Of him Is As Follows,,,he was accosted one night by a guest, purple with rage. “My wife almost choked,” the man told him. “I’m going to sue the hotel for a million dollars.” The offending object was a small metal tag, called a plumba, affixed to meat to identify it as kosher. The tags were normally removed before cooking, but this one, on a chicken, had been overlooked. “What’s your name?,” Mr. Cohen asked the woman hurriedly. “Your address?” He raced to the dining-room microphone. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he intoned. “Mr. and Mrs. Sam Weinstein from Cedarhurst, Long Island, have just won a bottle of Champagne. Mrs. Weinstein is the lucky lady who wound up with the chicken with the plumba.”...Thinking of you Irving!!!
