President Bill Clinton It was an honor to meet the former leader of the free world. Plus he signed a half dozen 2004 World Series Boston Red Sox baseballs for me. He sat in my office at the desk and we talked for a few minutes.
Stan Lee Famous for co-creating Marvel Comics, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk and many other famous superheroes that we all looked up to as kids. When I met him for the first time, we hit it off. Now when I travel to Los Angeles, I usually bring him his favorite cherry cheese danish and other goodies from N9NE Steakhouse.
Joe Montana Arguably the greatest quarterback of all time and my close personal friend.
Britney Spears She’s been a fan of the restaurant since day one and even brought her puppy in during the early opening years of the hotel. I had to let her know she had to bring the dog back upstairs because it wasn’t a service dog. Through the years, I became close friends with her father Jamie, who is also a great cook.
Mariah Carey She has it all. Looks, voice and talent. The triple crown.
Nicholas Cage One of my all-time favorite actors and he enjoys drinking great wine. We have this in common.
Adrian Brody He loves celebrating special occasions at the restaurant. If it’s not his birthday, he’s celebrating his girlfriends. He just loves N9NE Steakhouse.
Paul Pierce The truth. What else is there to say? World champion, all-time Boston Celtic scorer.
Kobe Bryant Will go down in history as one of the NBA’s top 10 greatest players. Even though he’s a Laker and I’m a Celtics fan he is one of the finest gentlemen I’ve ever met. Plus he speaks Italian fluently.
Mike Tyson When I look at Mike Tyson and what he’s done in the heavyweight division of boxing, with his passion and drive for his profession, it reminds me of myself and the staff around me as he had the greatest boxing teachers around him like Cus D’Amato and Kevin Rooney.
Rihanna She’s an island girl. She’s from Barbados Island and I’m from Rhode Island.
