Plate Pictures

I'm from Chicago, and the guest was decked out in Cubs gear. Had to whip up something nice for him

Some executives from ESPN were joining us for lunch

Different view of ESPN plate

A friend was joining us for a meal before leaving to see the Ducks play....if only it were Emilio Estevez

Different angle

A little kid was all decked out in Lakers gear, so I asked him who his favorite player was and drew this plate for him

A guy was sporting a Navy SEAL Trident hat, so we got to talkin. Turns out his brother in law has a foundation for Navy SEAL wives who have lost their husbands in combat. It started to rain and he left in haste (not knowing I was working on this one), so I didn't quite finish the details so I could try and find him the lobby. He wound up writing a letter to my GM, I was given a free dinner at the restaurant and money was donated to the Navy SEAL foundation in my name. Pretty happy for that!

During playoffs a guy was wearing a Giants cap, so I drew him this plate

Same story as above, except not during playoffs. I tend to draw sports teams a lot because they're easy to get from the guest.

A couple was having lunch and then leaving for whale watching, so it was fitting that I drew this plate

A certain member of the Texans was with us, which explains this logo

My coworkers parents were visiting and they are huge fans of his alma mater, so I drew the LA Tech logo for them

A very prominent member of this organization was with us, so I surprised him with this to his delight

One of our employees was dining with us and he used to be a cop, loves motorcycles, but never did both at the same time (thank goodness). I combined the two and drew a motorcycle cop bike

A guy was a huge Jets fan and was watching the NFL draft from our bar. He didn't boo like the fans that were in NY, but he was still pretty into it

A certain LA King was staying with us, so I surprised him with this plate for dessert

To kick off the start of the playoffs this year, I surprised a guy wearing a Hawks hat with this plate. We don't get a lot of Chicago fans out here so I had to do something nice for him

This couple were self proclaimed Scrabble fans, and were complaining that they hadn't had time to play yet. I drew this for them, although I could have played QI off of KING

Mr. McIntyre was talking with me about our shared Irish heritage. To celebrate, I drew his name in a cool font and gave it to him for dessert.

Mr. Hoffman is a long time friend of ours, and one of our employees shares the same last name. I drew the family crest and gave him this plate

A little boy had a Vadar figurine on his table. To keep him entertained, I brought him dessert on this plate

A couple that had gotten married in Vegas was celebrating their anniversary with us. It was only proper to give them this plate
