My Peter Luger Story.......Several Christmas ago my Family and I were vacationing in New York. I had made res for PL two month prior. All I could get was 5pm res. Of course, we were late. I was greeted by the nicely suited PL Host. He looks at me and says that I was 2 hours late. His head is shaking side to side, not up and down. He says that it would be a long while. We had a drink at the bar.....I ordered JW Black double. Ten minutes later, I remembered my Las Vegas "Toking" Rule. I got out 20 and 50 dollar bill. Placed the 20 in my right hand and the 50 in the other. I walked up to the Host and nicely said to him....."I am so sorry, I was on Hawaiian Time."
I smiled at him and extended my right hand. He shook my hand and felt the folded money. He said to me, "Give me a few minutes. He escorted us to our table a few minutes later!!!!
Now, if he had looked down to see the 20 and then looked up to me to say that it would still be a long wait, if any. Then I would have to toke him the 50. But luckily the 20 was satisfactory.
The Peter Luger steak dinner was awesome.
