The galloping gourmet. He got tubby from all his thievery. Jail food sucks compared to what he was stealing from restaurants

I once saw a Laurel and Hardy movie that was like this situation.

A Gourmand is a woman, a Gourmet is a man - shows the quality of journalism these days.

Police arrested the suspect, who initially gave a false name but then identified himself as Morgan as police prepared to check his fingerprints. Morgan told police he had been running similar operations at many other restaurants, and often other customers would step in to pay his bill when a dispute ensued with the staff, Ford said. Thief and con man.

Yeah, and what about the Garkons? If a meal cost that much, there has to Garkons, not just waitresses.
parsy, who met a Garkon once

A Gourmet is a connoisseur, a Gourmand is a glutton. (It has nothing to do with gender.)
Shows you the quality of commentary these days.

He does look a bit on the "tubby" side:
To: dennisw
"He said he does that twice a day throughout the Bay Area," Ford said. "Twice a day he'll go in and eat a meal and leave without paying."

Perhaps he was just an unfortunate and unlucky hungry person.
President 0bama should be spreading his wealth to help this sad man.

He got real fat by living off the fat of the land. Lots of ripped off waitresses and restaurateurs are cheering tonight

Dude tried that in Tiburon? Guess he wanted to get caught.
To: Blue Jays
Perhaps he was just an unfortunate and unlucky hungry person.I know you are kidding. But he's not simply a a poor hungry man if he's going into posh restaurants for his meals and ordering the best food. There are missions where the down and out can get free food, and churches give away bags of groceries. He's just a plain con artist.

As Larry Fine would say, he’s a common sewer.

Dude tried that in Tiburon?Wikipedia says "In 2004 Tiburon became the first city in the world to eliminate trans-fats from all its restaurants."
He just wanted to eat healthier ;-)

and, for dessert, the Profiteroles Dwayne Kerry Morgan, 43, was arraigned Friday on misdemeanor charges. (DMV photo) puff pastry filled with French vanilla ice cream covered with dark Godiva chocolate
Does this describe his first night in jail or did you just egregiously mis-copy and paste:)
