Getting A Seat At A Nice Restaurant
I've read a lot of biographies of celebrities, and this seems to be the one thing they all loved about being famous.
Ha! Weird...
You'd think the mansion, the sports car and all the sexy Ladies would be higher up on the list than where they get to sit while they eat spaghetti
I wonder if it's because the restaurants they go to are "exclusive" and a place to compare clothes.. A status thing. Whoever is at a restaurant that Sinatra is at must be important. I think they probably like observing other celebrities, too. And I guess we all like good food, but I prefer people bringing me leftovers. I don't like the idea of someone serving me, anyway.
shareI've been to a couple of very 'exclusive' joints over the years and felt completely out of place
If I were rich and famous I'd still rather go to the diner and get a Reuben with fries and tip the cute waitress heavily
They are rarer now, but I could never imagine enjoying myself at a place that requires jacket and tie. I don't want to eat with a buttoned collar around my neck, and I'd be overly afraid of spilling something on myself. I almost only spill something on myself when I'm wearing something nice.
shareI like to go to a jacket and tie place every so often, but it has to have the food to go with it. I mean I don't live anywhere that has the exclusive places like that, so it's not really the same thing. I will book a place months in advance though if it has food that I want to try.

I've been to very few of those, and I'm sure there are many with great cuisine. But in my experience the food has never been worth it. It's like they're trying to distract the diners from the mediocrity by making them dress up.
Excellent point. And now with COVID, if I ever treat myself, it's with some Q-doba delivered to my porch... contact-free
