There's the time when after closing during clean-up three of us from the kitchen, Harpo and The Mad Hatter were all in my van getting stoned when Russ and Hank came out the back door looking for us. We all laid on the floor of the van hiding in the darkness praying (and laughing) they wouldn't see us. They didn't. Whew!
New Years Eve, 1977 maybe, we were gearing up for a crazy night and pretty much everyone was expecting a cocaine arrival that night. Well the coke was late but the problems started early. We had a line fire just after 5 after we had just opened (something had gotten down on the heating element) but that was quickly taken care of. Well, the "stuff" came in from one of our favorite waitresses, (she knows who she is) and so did the crowd. Man was it busy!! I was cooking with one of my best friends that night behind the line and we had a couple of bottles of booze in the meat refrigerator. Russ knew it was there and he even let me out the back door about halfway through the night for a few minutes to get some air. Seems as though I had had a little too much booze, toot, and heat and I was beginning to feel not-so-good. All in all it was a great night, we had a great time and we parrrrrrrrrrrrtied!! - Jeff Eason

Here's a short and sweet tale. One night my party on table 5 had paid and left, and I got to the table before the WA (insert your own joke here), and as I was collecting my tip saucer I noticed a rather large freezer-type baggie on the floor.......full and bursting of "the loco weed." Well, I didn't smoke, of course. But I was already having fantasies about the quick profit I could turn, when up the ramp walks this 7-foot American-Indian-type. About the size of my apartment. I think the words I managed from my dry throat were, "I believe you might be looking for this, sir?" He just grinned a toothless grin and left.
I'm sure at some point, every one of us got a joint(s) for a tip. My first week as a waiter I got a couple quaaludes. (I designated Ron Heatley as beneficiary) I still believe that tip was meant as a compliment of the highest degree. - Darren
