Wilfrid Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Bouncing off the Anton’s thread, which actors have we actually seen, not in the street, but stuffing forkfuls of food into their greedy mouths? Off the top of my head: James Earl Jones, Chez Josephine Anne Hathaway, Grayz Hilary Swank, Craft Ashley Olsen, Ess-a-Bagel (okay, it might have been Mary-Kate) Jessica Lange, J.Sheekey, London Robert Wagner and Jill St John, Benoit, Paris Does anyone want to hear that last story again? I must have told it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Ron really knew how to celebrate. Bette Midler - some restaurant I don't remember in Paris DeNiro, Keitel - Augustine Mary Louise-Parker - Pastis Michael Kelly - Cafe Katja more than once Meryl Streep - Eastwood More I can't remember. Back when I was in fancy catering, plenty of them - just not in restaurants, instead at events. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tubbs Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Louis CK (before the whole situation...) - Minetta, he was heading to the cellar after. Non actors - sat next to Ivan Orkin at Gari once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Ron really knew how to celebrate. And apparently, so do I! Back when I was in fancy catering, plenty of them - just not in restaurants, instead at events. Good lord, yes, back when I was serving my time in WeddingWorld. The famous people were generally a lot nicer than the regular old rich people. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joethefoodie Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Good lord, yes, back when I was serving my time in WeddingWorld. The famous people were generally a lot nicer than the regular old rich people. 100%. I do remember smoking with Pacino in some back room at some fancy-dancy event. Not a cigarette, either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maison Rustique Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Ruth Gordon (at Anthony's Pier 4, Boston) Nicholas Cage (at Musso & Frank, LA) The actor who played Grandpa Munster--can't think of his name (at an IHOP in KCMO--LOL!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

small h Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The actor who played Grandpa Munster--can't think of his name (at an IHOP in KCMO--LOL!) Al Lewis. I forgot about LA! Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr at Wa. I was beside myself with excitement. Chuck Bass! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The scary thing - don't know about 90% of the people mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Here's a story I don't think I've told. Young barrister in London, very smart but a bit innocent, at a drinks party for theatrical types. He's introduced to an older man. "Hello, I'm James." "Nice to meet you, I'm Al." "What do you do?" "I'm an actor." "Oh really? Stage or screen?""A bit of both." "Would I have seen you in anything?" "I don't know, maybe The Godfather." True. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Not quite an actor, but Derek Jarman at Jimmy's in Soho (London). Tim Spall in the Nellie Dean (a pub, but they served free food on Sunday lunchtimes, so he was probably eating. I was). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
