How can this be? Surely the staff at Junior's is composed entirely of Gorgeous Italian Women who make everything with Love....
How could they possibly harm us?
Surely there must be another explanation???
It might have something to do with the 9,000 calories contained in each slice of cheesecake.
Junior's Waitress Retiring After 43 Years On The
JobEyewitness News' Carolina Tarazona
(New York -WABC, July 18, 2005) - It is home to some of the most delicious cheescakes in the world, but today at Junior's in Brooklyn the focus and praise wasn't on their famous dessert - instead on one of their beloved waitresses, who after 43 years is retiring from the New York institution.
Eyewitness News reporter Carolina Tarazona has her story.
Peter Tyson, Junior's Waiter: "Mary, she's outgoing, she's funny, she speaks her mind. She tells it like it is. That's Mary."
Byron Logan, Junior's Customer: "See, Mary knows what I want. All I got to do is show up and she's got everything ready for me already, and this comes nice and hot."
Boy, is there something about Mary - Mary Blevins, that is. She's been serving eggs, coffee, and whatever else at Junior's for 43 years. Tomorrow, it's time for Mary to throw in her apron.
Mary Blevins, Retiring Waitress: "They always come back and they always give me more than they give anybody else because I can remember everything they wanted. I never forget nothing."
Mary has a lot of memories of this place. She actually met her third husband - Frank - here, he was sitting in a chair here and he ordered scrambled eggs and a pumpernickel with extra butter.
Carolina Tarazona: "Why did you decide to leave now?"
Mary Blevins, Retiring Waitress: "My husband died four months ago and it was his last words: 'please go back home where you come from.'"
Mary came to Brooklyn from Virginia, and that's where she'll end up. With three grown children, six grandchildren and three great-grandkids, Mary isn't going take it easy. But she will take with her decades of moments, unforgettable faces and the last laugh.
Mary Blevins, Retiring Waitress: "They laughed at me, at the way I talked, when I came here - everything I went through - but you learn to cope with it and then one day I said 'get out of my face, I'll be here when you're gone.'"
Mary knows best and all here say she'll be tough to replace
