"Well they were just regular people and some looked quite plain and yes ugly without their makeup. But they liked good food, fresh food. Jon Voight fed Angelina and her brother there everyday for the years while he was going through his divorce.  Because the food at the legendary "Old World Restaurant" was so healthy. Right there on the corner of Beverly and Wiltshire we were serving the best vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat right from farms in the country.

You see it was fresh organic food and juices - like watermelon juice, papaya juice .. what have you.  Dr. Franks was a retired dentist and he demanded that his restaurants, of which there were 7, which I ran at that time as well as studying Business Management at UCLA, serve only the most wholesome things possible.

Every generation thinks they are so original but I tell you Doris Day, Jack Palance, Paul Newman and others - well they were the first health food nuts.  Not Frank Blue Eyes though .. no he liked everything bad for you!"

"These days people put on pajamas to go on the plane to Paris or to attend college classes and dentist visits.  So really I have no opinion anymore about clothing except please have some on.  However I will say this one tip - if you are coming to our  bonfire when the fire is as big as an oil tanker set ablaze in a meadow, do not, my dear Madam (or dear Sir - to be perfectly politically correct) I repeat, do not wear Stilettos to a Bonfire.  That is all."

"Unfortunately I am not an Inn.  But I have not given up on that dream, even after 20 years.  I have heard of a thing called "Glamping" and plan to put up some Fabulous Tents around  the property.  When I do please come Glamping  with me!

I will hold a Grand Opening of The Willow Creek Inn after 22 years - at the point enough people are staying in the Tents! It will be one day I know it."

"I do not but I certainly want them!  I am ready to tell a bunch of young, energetic people what to do instead of doing it all myself!  So I am checking in with Johnston & Wales and York Technical in the coming months to see if I can arrange for some interns here."

"I have finally written a Book about that very subject and I am very proud of it.  It is called "Recipes & Recollections By A Well Travelled Chef". I hope you will order it once it becomes available."
