Daniel Negreanu is a vegetarian, without much interest in food. ”I ate two days ago” is the kind of thing he says. His disdain for food is a reaction to his mother, who is obsessed with food. Mommy, as he calls her, likes to serve people food, then sit down and smile at them as they eat. When Negreanu was growing up in Toronto, Mommy sent him to school with his lunch packed in a brown bag. When he went to McDonald’s with friends, she gave him a brown-bag lunch. When he got his first job as a telemarketer (”I lasted a day,” he says), Mommy packed him a brown-bag lunch. When he got his next job at Subway (”I was a good sandwich maker”), Mommy packed him a brown-bag lunch. These days, when Negreanu goes to work at night at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, Mommy packs him a brown-bag lunch.
