The kind that everyone wants to wait on them. Famous may be the wrong term, but a good career waiter that everyonelikes, that has waited on you and/or yer family for years. Names & restaurants, please.

If there's a waiter that has worked for Mark Maggio or the Zitos for longer than a year, then they should get some sort of celebrity status.

It's not BR, but Cliff over at Don's in Laffy gets honorable mention since he's been bartending there for over 40 years.

Only one I can think of worked at a night club named the "Chez When" in the 1970's. She was actually a bartender-ess. She was famous though.

The singing guy at Pinettas. Can't recall his name.

Giamancos used to have some old timers, and La Fonda's, with the old white haired women in those pressed uniforms with the stockings.

Back years ago Pinetta's had some long standing waiters. I used a guy named Lawson then every time I went. He was great. Don't know of any now days.
