Tonight at The Restaurant (that hot, hip one downtown where I work) Ms. Celebrity came in again with a few of her friends. I mentioned in a previous post that Ms. Celebrity has been in the local spotlight for a few decades and that she's had some work done and that she just loves wine--and perhaps sometimes more than she should.
But tonight Ms. Celebrity may have redeemed herself. Last time at The Restaurant she behaved like a fussy cat (some might say "angry pussy," but I digress). This time, however, she was much better behaved. She came in with a straight male friend and an adorable, well-mannered, well-dressed fifty-something gay couple. Ms. Celebrity even said a few polite things to me through the night. Sure she was sucking down white wine like usual, but she didn't get blitzed and she tipped well. All of this bodes well for her reputation on the Minneapolis restaurant circuit.
But while Ms. Celebrity may have been well behaved, a high profile female Minnesota politician was not. Ms. Politician came in rushed and fussy and armed with a sharp tongue. When Ms. Politician was told she would have to wait an hour for a table (which is very reasonable considering our restaurant's popularity) she started yelling at the host, furious she couldn't get a table right away. The host stood his ground; Ms. Politician left in a huff.
It's never a dull night at The Restaurant.
