Last Thursday I helped a man lose his virginity twice in one
night. The man was J. Michael Walker, all
round top artist, and the two losses came more or less simultaneously. That's him on the right, above. He had never been to Musso and Frank, and
he’d never drunk a martini: a sheltered
life indeed for an Angelino.
Anyway this was all quite easily corrected thanks to my favorite barman
Ruben Rueda (again, above, on the right). The best thing about the
Musso martini is that you get a full martini glass accompanied by a miniature
glass flask containing pretty much the same again; so it’s essentially two for
one.
Ruben is clearly a large man but he wears it well thanks to the
generously tailored Musso jackets, and of course having been there a long
time - well over 40 years - he’s met
many of the great and the good, as well as the not so great and the positively
bad. These include Keith Richards (and
you can argue among yourselves about which category he fits into). I found this little gem on the Musso website.
Hey Keith, no need to be hurtful, is there?
