So you want to own a restaurant someday

Owning a restaurant sure isn't the fantasy that most people envision. As a 25 year veteran of four uniquely different restaurants, I'll share my stories, both past and present. Bon Appetit

Roller Derby

It's not often I get a chance to actually sit and have dinner but last night was an exception. Howard Johnson, a renowned tuba player, was playing at the restaruant and my wife and I decided to have dinner with a few friends. Saturday nights are not the time you want to try and relax. The place is a mad house and even if you do get the chance to take the night off (not for the first 10 years, at least) you are constantly interupted by management and staff. This night was no exception, but I did get to sit for a few minutes. The table next to us was a party of 12 fairly younger adults celebrating a birthday party. They seemed to be having a great time and enoying the music. One of the young ladies at the table turned to me during dinner and said she wanted me to judge something later. I had no idea what she was talking about until later in the evening. As the birthday girl and another young lady got up to go to the ladies room I noticed that they were unusally tall. Looking down I saw that the were wearing roller skates! They had come into the restaurant wearing rollerskates!!! They told me that as part of the birthday celebration the were going to the rollerrink after dinner and didn't want change there. The judging turned out to a competition on whose butt was firmer. But unfortunately the contestants were the young lady who earlier ask me to judge, and her male friend. I was happy to oblige her, but obviouly passed on the male butt.....she won!
