A great article about Lettuce Entertain You and his prominent role in their humble beginnings...

I'm pretty sure that's his cousin, not his dad.

shakes is still awesome though.

Should I correct the error, or blame it on Trump?

Use it. Their food is rarely great but it never sucks and the setting is always nice with great service. They seem to have mastered takeout as well.

Thanks. Saw that article already. Always nice to see how much Melman goes out of his way to shine s spotlight on Jerry, even 40 years after his untimely death.



Still crazy to think that they offered my dad 10% of Lettuce for 25k back at the start. 25k to my dad at that time might as well have been a billion dollars so there was no chance even if he wanted to do it. But, he wouldn't have done it even if he had the money. HIm and my mom laughed at the idea and were sure the place would fail.

Normally, no, but considering shakes has posted his entire wedding video, it's probably okay in this instance.

I thought the same. That's a true friend/partner ship.

Yeah, those "coulda been" moments. Back in the mid '80s,my dad was starting to get ill with the cancer that eventually killed him, so he backed out of a $90k condo on the beach in Boca and a similarly priced 1/3 share of a bingo hall in Minnesota that is now a casino. Oh well. Us kids probably would've fucked it all up anyway.
