There are really so many strange and unusual situations, I don't know where to begin.

I remember once we had as our guest a very wealthy couple who insisted upon having a certain top Michelin-rated restaurant. The reservation was made, and all appeared well.

Shortly after the client arrived at the restaurant, the Maitre d' called us and said they had arrived, but rather than Monsieur and Madame, it was Madame and Madame who showed up...that is the wife, with her husband in full drag!! The Maitre d' took it all in stride, and we laughed about this for a long while... until they asked a reservation the next day in the same establishment!!
