  Speaker 1: Closson Show, Frank to tell us the story about that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: when Don Rickles was there, and he did this twice
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to him. He did it once at Patches Italian restaurants
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and he didn't and on the West Coast Italian restaurant.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I think, wait, this is this famous story where he
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: begs Frank come over the table sail out to me
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: because I'm with this girl. I'm trying to impress her.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So Sinatra was trying to impress the girl. Yeah.

• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you bothering me for? Sir? Every time those two guys

• 1:41
  Speaker 2: but off here. It was always a different restaurant, it
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: was always a different city. So that's why I thought

• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, Sinatra was upstairs and he finished his
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: express all stuff, and he, you know, he fulfilled his

  Speaker 2: of these fine new restaurants. The biggest new French restaurants
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in New York are the biggest new They make a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: big point of going old school, very old fashioned, which
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: means they come to your table with a cart. Like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you order caesar salad, they make it right at your table.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: That used to be a big thing in the fifties
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and the Madman days, you know, making it table side.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: They would have a big bowl and I would crack
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the eggs and then cut up the lettuce, and then
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: right in front of you they'd make the caesar salad
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: from scratch. When they do it now, it is the
