If you saw a celebrity in a restaurant, what would you do?
I’ve had the opportunity to meet a few celebrities. The time I met Chris Rock was one of the most memorable. He and his family came into the restaurant where I worked and were seated in my section. We had a few laughs over some of his family’s food choices and he and his family were a pleasure to serve.
