I noticed Laura (the restaurant owner) had a little bucket on the table. For like a week, I was just popping them here and there.

I've noticed if you're a pug owner, you're pug-crazy.

Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?

In a restaurant choose a table near a waiter

A restaurant is a compendium of choices that the owner has made. If you look around a restaurant, everything represents a choice: the kind of salt shaker that's on the table, the art on the walls, the uniforms on the waiters.

Luigi, the restaurant manager, said to me once that he keeps that particular table for the Queen of Norway or the Queen of Denmark. One night the Queen of Norway was eating at this table and the Queen of Denmark walked in. She looked at the table, she looked at the Queen of Norway, she looked at Luigi and without a word she walked out.
