A good week for dishing with authors

So many authors! All the time.

After dinner at Sunnys Chinese, author Kevin Kwan, right, gave a shout-out on Instagram to star chef David Schwartz, left, and gushed that it “ended up being one of the best meals of my life.”

Mission No. 1 this week: taking Mr. Crazy Rich Asians, Kevin Kwan, for an epic feast in the depths of Kensington Market while he was swinging through T.O. It came about after a talk I hosted with him on Monday at Hot Docs Cinema re: his latest, greatest, “Lies and Weddings.”

The novel? It is a tarty, globe-fanning story built around the travails of Rufus Leung Gresham, the only hunkalicious son of a British earl and Hong Kong supermodel, who discovers that his noble family is — gasp! — going broke.

“No one had any inkling that behind all the magazine features and Instagram stories of the glamorous Greshams — luxuriating in couture at their swoon-worthy manor, glistening with golden tans aboard their antique black-sailed yacht in the Ionian Sea — rose a gargantuan mountain of debt,” as the author writes.
