My
path crossed Teddy's twice.... both in Washington D.C.
Shortly after getting out of the Army Club Business, I went to work for
Schlitz, and our regional office was in Washington D.C. (Rosslyn to be
more precise), and it was our practice to have group dining at
locations where we wanted to get our "product" placed. We went to
an early dinner at the Palm (19th near M)... and it was the beginning
of their dinner service Teddie and a few cohorts were there, and
it looked like they were already in the tank, (as if they had been
there since lunch). They were whooping it up and playing grab ass
with the waitresses as they walked by, and making complete asses out of
themselves.
The second time was at the Prime on K Street. He was loudly
holding court with 2 other people (I think) at the table... My party
sat not far away, and we marveled at how the drinks just kept
coming. They were there before we arrived, and were still there
when we left....getting louder and louder.
A real piece of work!

The Adventures Of Ted, And His Wish For The Djinn In The Bottle......Oh.... Wait a minute. That's his wish for the GIN in the bottle....Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI've crossed paths with tk on a couple of occasions as well. The first was in the original Clyde's on M Street in Georgetown in the 70s. I was sitting at the bar having a beer, and after he came in with his entourage, it was impossible to get a drink with the entire staff fawning over them.
ReplyDeleteThe second was at an upscale seafood joint next door to Prime in the 90s. The only reason I knew he was there was the buzz that went through the place. At least that place didn't fall apart.
In disgust, I walked out on the check at Clyde's and didn't go back for over 25 years. Haven't been back to the seafood joint yet.
