Morgans Mango is famous on STJ for saying "so what" to him :D and turning him away (at least that is what I have been told over and over and over again)

It would be good to know

I saw them get a table, but we got seated first. I certainly did not see them fussed over. It just looked like the staff managed to fit them in. Honestly, I had kids to manage so I did not do a whole lot of watching. This would have been Thanksgiving 1997.

Cheers, Rick

LMAO Cat...that was when I was short too :lol:

I have zero interest in meeting any "celebrities" because the last thing I would like to realize is that in reality they are a jerk.

p.s. I would probably point them out to the rest of my krewe though, but like Cat said...they probably wouldn't even know who I was talking about.

What about that guy whose dog you trained? Even you don't recognize tham all! :D You are right though. I never know who she is talking about. I watch movies and don't know who was in them. I have too many other things to shove into my already overstuffed brain!

That is what I'd expect. I think the staff at Morgan's (or most St. John restaurants) would try to fit in would-be diners regardless of whether they were famous or not. That's their business.

I think what people may have heard is that Morgan's will not put celebrities ahead of non-celebrities. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. If what we've heard is true, the celebrities who don't mind this policy keep coming back. I'm not sure where the other ones end up!

Ruth..........You seem to be the coolest, most level headed person I have never met. I can't wait to change that. I'll look you up in July.
