Have not been there in years and had lunch there yesterday. Frenchie is a trip, boy talks to himself all day with strange words of infinite wisdom.

How long has he been there? He was entertaining as hell.

Around twenty five maybe a few more years, Popeye disappeared that long ago to avoid a nice bit of jail time.

I always assumed that was Louie. He looks like a Louie.

Frenchie and Jude manned the grill when I was going there in the late 80s

I first met Frenchie when he was head chef at the old ramada inn on Nicholson near the pastimes, late 80's. Not too long after That he did a stint with Stephanie, pre Zealand st mkt. when that building was Marinos a tiny ag c- store. Stephanie got her start on her own there. Old man Marino built here a tiny 12 by 12 spot on the front corner where she did take out only. It's was after she left Louie's where she got her start cooking, that's where she met frenchie.
