“Mrs. L knocked him on his butt once (quite accidentally) and said he was a very good sport about it.”
Sounds like one of the Frasier scripts. Would be an interesting story for us all.
Mrs L used to work at a very, very upscale Sonoma County restaraunt that Mr. Grammer frequented. One day she was walking out of the kitchen and he was too close to the swinging doors.
BLAM! and he was flat on his back.
She helped him up and apologized profusely. He would have none of it, saying it was his fault for not watching where he was going and being too close to a door he obviously shouldn't have been that close to.
He thanked her for the fine meals, shook her hand, and that was it.
So that's my story of one of Mrs. L's brushes with the glitterati.
She also prepared a takeout meal for Bruce Willis and Demi Moore once, and quite regularly prepared lunches for Charles Schultz of "Peanuts" fame. He ate in the restaraunt where she worked at least once a week for years.
She cooked for Jean Claude Van Damme a few times.
The high point of her culinary career was preparing sushi for George W. Bush when he was running for President. He spoke at a private fund raiser at her current employer.
That's a bit of a resume enhancer as far as I'm concerned.
Although truth be told she said the Secret Service at far more of what was prepared than the soon to be President did.
