I had the pleasure of meeting Charlie back in 2008, he came to my restaurant with a group of friends. They were just charming and I was very blessed to have met Him. I had been a chef for 40 years and worked in some wonderful restaurants in my career. My husband David had invited them to the restaurant as my beloved was my biggest fan and of course bragged all the time about me. Charlie seemed to enjoy the meals I served and told me to stick with it (words of encouragement) and that I had a delightful menu.
In 2004 when I turned sixty my beloved took me to Trotter's for my birthday dinner, that is how we met Charlie. He actually would not let us pay for the meals because it was my birthday and because he found out that I was a chef and still working he said, “ this is on me, not everyone lives to be 60 as a chef and still on the feet, so you go girl”.
How ironic that he did not make it to 60, he must have known something about us chefs. Rest in piece good friend, you will be missed. My beloved husband passed away last October and both these talented men had beautiful gifts that they both bestowed on people, they had so many special talents.
