it seems like people are leaving him be. if you don’t like having your picture taken in 2023 you can’t leave your house, there are cameras everywhere.

Relax, I didn't bother him.

He's a "Celebrity" so it's to be expected.

Minella's Diner
Brunt-FCA-285 t1_j207fgp wrote
Minella’s Diner in Wayne has had a well-stocked bar at least since I started occasionally eating there during college breaks in the late 2000s. I do wish it was still 24 hours, but that’s probably nostalgia talking.

No, it's not. He's also retired.

That’s cool. There’s a Bruce/Petty tribute show at 118 North just 2 min from that diner tonight at 7

He'd probably rather you said hi than take a picture of him without him knowing for the internet, at least I would

I was there yesterday! The best old school diner. Efficient and professional service, great vibe, great value in food and drinks. I still think OP shouldn't have taken a picture furtively. Happy new year everybody!

Used to see him when I worked at apple in Ardmore many moons ago. It was wild to hear that voice IRL. Had the same experience when I met Lou Nolan a few years ago.

Because they made him change his name on account of him being Jewish?

He is a local celebrity. Being retired doesn't make you no longer a local celebrity.

You can get a side of chipped beef there, and it's literally an entire bowl filled with it. It's fucking awesome, being lactose intolerant on the other hand, is not.

Sure, but they made him do it because he was Jewish. That's pretty upsetting. As someone with an extremely Jewish name I have a hard time comprehending that.

I saw him there last month too! He loves to sit at the counter and enjoy his breakfast in peace.
