On the eve of Christmas, I'm telling a different story about another person whose initials are J.C. Yes. I'm talking about the world's most famous chef. The French Chef, Julia Child.
Love this story! Of course you were the server for her party. And of course she ate that whole steak with all of the pats of butter you had so carefully presented. So Julia! I hope she tipped well too. Happy Holidays!
During my time as a server in NYC, I waited on quite a few celebs. The other one who I have a sweet anecdote was Walter Matthau. I loved that guy. More stories to come. xo
I love this story, Nan! JC was a such a beautiful example of someone who owned her space and offered her gifts to the world without apology or an ounce of conformity. Every woman should indeed have a blow torch. ☺️
I'm so glad! She was indeed. I love the way you're describing her. I needed my blow torch that day to finish her creme brulée. I'd already written the story, and then did a quote search. When I read that one, I laughed out loud. xo

My Momma was always jealous of JC, because my Dad was smitten, as well!
Smitten with her, or smitten with the idea of being fed that kind of food on a regular basis by your momma? xo
JC with a blow torch is a holiday hero I can get behind. I love this story.
ME TOO! Glad you enjoyed, E. I love telling this story. xo
Wonderful post!
Thanks, Mary Anne! You and Richard know this business better than anyone! xo
…and can only IMAGINE how you must have felt. Very well described! So glad you made it through with flying colors!
