East Side Mario's

My dad bounced and bartended as well.

Um, and I remember like before we left, my mom was working in like East side Mario's before it became like a huge chain.

It was, it looked at least the bar side looked like a like a divey New York bar.

Oh, really? Brick, peanuts all over the bar, all over the floor, and always bringing food home from there.

I-

... there's, like, no way that they didn't fuck with your food.

East Side Mario's was a fantastic...

No, I, I, I corrected this issue.

Okay.

No.

And it was basically like make her think it was a joke, dude, please.

Oh, well, that, of course.

That's like, that's like an Italian saying, "Don't go to East Side Mario's."

They're like pa- paperweights.

Yeah.

Mm, so we did that.

Um, then from there, crossed over, worked for Prime Foods, East Side Mario's manager, and then just, I was offered a position with a new club opening in London, uh, The Nak.

Uh, they needed someone that knew the business.

Mm.

How about-

How about East Side Mario's? You got one of those out there?

Oh, yeah.

Uh, do we still?

Nice.

Never quite got it.

[laughs] East Side Mario's was kinda sick.

Was it kinda sick?
