Johnny and The Cheese Factory

As I have mentioned before, they are making a movie in the area about John Dillinger and starring Johny Depp (pictured in the role of Willie Wonka in the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).

Today one of the other volunteers at the library, Marty Preston, was telling me that a lot of the crew on the movie have been eating at a local restaurant, The Cheese Factory, where she used to work and where she still has close friends. There's a whole 'nother story about the restaurant, but for the purposes of this post all you need to know is that it is the only vegetarian place around and that the food is great. Anyway, the movie people have a lot of vegetarians among them and often eat there or order things for take-out.

The other day the film folk called in a take-out order for lunch that included a number of items only available on the evening dinner menu. Since the kitchen is a bit understaffed at the moment, the hostess consulted with the chef and the other cooks. Sage, the head chef, agreed that they would do the extra work but only if Johnny Depp came in to pick it up in person.

And so he did.
