"I'm watching you on tv right now," I told her, all friendly-like, as we washed our hands.
Immediately, I could tell Sara wasn't thrilled with this encounter. She looked deeply uncomfortable. "Right now, huh?" she said.
"Yes!" I responded cheerfully. "This is an exciting moment for me!"
"Well, it's kind of weird for me," Sara said.
"Oh, okay," I said. "I guess. At the sinks in the restroom." I shrugged and giggled a little.
I thought about asking to take a photo in the bathroom mirror, but Sara really wasn't giving off a vibe about being amenable to that.
We don't have Top Chef over here. If we did, and if she had been super friendly, I would be rooting for her all the way. Since she was only mildly friendly, I hope she does okay, but does not end up being Top Chef. Is she from Minnesota??? What's her restaurant???
ReplyDeleteI've never watched Top Chef, so I wouldn't have known a star was in my presence. It seems appropriate not to take a picture with her in the potty.
ReplyDeleteWe're behind on the Top Chef NOLA episodes, but this gives me reason to not wish Sara well on the show. She does seem a bit moody, so I'm not totally surprised. I think you handled the situation well.
